The first Director of the Securitate was NKVD general Gheorghe Pintilie ( born Panteleymon Bondarenko, nicknamed " Pantiuşa ").

In this period he worked in collaboration with many leading European directors, including Peter Stein, Joachim Herz, Lucian Pintilie, and Harry Kupfer, conducting a wide repertoire of Verdi, Wagner, Janáček, Strauss, Berg and Britten and, in 1986, performances of the complete Ring Cycle.

He had a lead role in the film Un été inoubliable under the direction of Lucian Pintilie ; the film was nominated for the Golden Palm at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.

Bondarenko started competing in the pro tour in 1999 at the age of 14, were she competed in ITF Circuit, she reached two second rounds in Tallinn, Estonia and Kharkiv, Ukraine, two first-round exits in Bucharest3 in Romania and in Kedzierzyn-Kozle, Poland, and failed to qualify in two events as well in Tbilisi and Batumi both were held in Georgia.

He placed a small Bible on the hand controller and then walked about 20 ft ( 6 m ) to a small hollow where he placed a plaque bearing the names of the fourteen known astronauts and cosmonauts to have lost their lives ( two cosmonaut deaths had not been made public at the time — Valentin Bondarenko and Grigori Nelyubov ).

She also participated both in doubles and mixed doubles, partnering with Kateryna Bondarenko and Paul Hanley respectively, but lost in the first rounds of both disciplines.

According to his fellow cosmonauts, Bondarenko was a mild-mannered person with a pleasant disposition.

Bondarenko, having completed work for the day, removed some monitoring biosensors from his body and washed his skin with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball, which he then carelessly threw away.

The cotton ignited and Bondarenko tried to smother the flames with the sleeve of his woolen coveralls, which caught on fire in the chamber's oxygen-rich atmosphere.

The beginning of the year was mixed for Bondarenko, with a quarterfinal appearances in the 2006 Moorilla Hobart International and the 2006 Bangalore Open, and first-round exits in the 2006 Pattaya Women's Open and the 2006 Australian Open.

She then qualified for the main draw with a 5 – 7, 6 – 4, 6 – 2 win over No. 11 seed Kateryna Bondarenko.

There was some later speculation that, had the Soviets been open about the Bondarenko tragedy, NASA might have been alerted to the hazardous design of the early Apollo command module and would have made changes which could have prevented the 1967 deaths of the three Apollo 1 crew members.

Anthropologist Dmitri Bondarenko follows Carole Crumley in her definition of heterarchy as " the relation of elements to one another when they are unranked or when they possess the potential for being ranked in a number of different ways " and argues that it is therefore not strictly the opposite of hierarchy, but is rather the opposite of homoarchy, which is itself defined as " the relation of elements to one another when they possess the potential for being ranked in one way only ".

Bondarenko is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon.

Just to the northeast of Bondarenko is Patsaev G, a comparably sized satellite of Patsaev to the west.

It is named for Valentin Bondarenko ( 1937-1961 ), an early Soviet cosmonaut killed in a training simulator accident.

Alona Volodymyrivna Bondarenko Dyachok (, born 13 August 1984 in Kryvyi Rih, Ukrainian SSR ) is a Ukrainian tennis player.

However, before long, Pantiuşa ordered anyone who had served the monarchy's police in any capacity arrested, and in the places of the Royal Security Policemen, he hired ardent members of the Communist Party, to ensure total loyalty within the organisation.

Mihail Kogălniceanu (; also known as Mihail Cogâlniceanu, Michel de Kogalnitchan ; September 6, 1817 – July 1, 1891 ) was a Moldavian-born Romanian liberal statesman, lawyer, historian and publicist ; he became Prime Minister of Romania on October 11, 1863, after the 1859 union of the Danubian Principalities under Domnitor Alexandru Ioan Cuza, and later served as Foreign Minister under Carol I.

Kogălniceanu carried on as leader of pragmatic-reformist liberalism in Romania ; in loose opposition to the Conservative Party cabinet of Lascăr Catargiu ( 1875 ), he began talks with the radical faction of the liberal trend ( most notably, Ion Brătianu, Dimitrie Sturdza, Ion Ghica, C. A. Rosetti, Dimitrie Brătianu, and Alexandru G. Golescu ), which were carried at the Bucharest residence of Pasha Stephen Bartlett Lakeman.

Although he had been a staunch defender of the deposed Alexandru Ioan Cuza, he eventually backed the movement against him ( led by Mihail Kogălniceanu ), and was not opposed to the new Domnitor ( future King of Romania ) Carol.

As much as other reactionary groups, it won the tacit support of General Alexandru Averescu and his increasingly popular People's Party ( of which Cuza became an affiliate ); Averescu's ascension to power in 1920 engendered a new period of social troubles in the larger urban areas ( see Labor movement in Romania ).

On 4 November 1957 the Romanian Workers ' Party, comprising the most prominent politicians of Communist Romania ( Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, Chivu Stoica, Alexandru Moghioroş, Ştefan Voitec, Nicolae Ceauşescu, Leonte Răutu and Grigore Preoteasa ), was involved in an accident at Vnukovo Airport ; Preoteasa ( who was Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time ) was killed, as was the aircraft's crew.

He also traveled back into Romania for intervals — when in Iaşi, he associated with the maverick Conservative Alexandru Bădărău and his journal Opinia.

The idea behind the design of the coat of arms of Romania dates since 1859, when the two Romanian countries, Wallachia and Moldavia, united under Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza.
