Orly Taitz – Moldavian Passport – 1978

For a number of years I’ve been intermittently digging for documents related to the identity of attorney Orly Taitz.

One of the largest complications in the investigation has always been that her name (including her maiden name), which may be Orly Averbuch or Auerbuch, can be interpreted in many different ways in the Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet.

The Cyrillic alphabet (basically the Greek alphabet with additional letters for Slavic sounds) was used during the Soviet years (a Soviet stipulation) back when Moldova was the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (early/mid 1920s thru early 1940s) and later the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (early 1940s thru early 1990s).

Orly Taitz was purportedly born in 1960 (August 30, 1960) in Kishinev (now Chișinău), the capital city of the then Moldavian SSR.  Records of her birth, if any, would have been written in Cyrillic.

I also want to note here that I’ve corresponded extensively with four people living in Moldova who have all told me that in 1960 Moldova was also known widely as Basarabia.

In any event, all four correspondents confirmed that birth documents would have been recorded with the Cyrillic alphabet and that Orly’s name could have been spelled in many different ways.

To complicate things even more so is the fact that in present day Moldova, and ever since shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union (USSR) in the early 1990s, the country has reverted back to using the Latin alphabet.

My investigative helpers in Moldova initially consisted of a Moldovan woman who was married to an English speaking man.  Within in just a few days we also incorporated her friend, another Moldovan woman, into our investigative team.

Over a period of more than 18 months the two women searched for records of Orly, her birth and just anything that might have her name on it.

Later on I independently contacted another two people in Moldova and requested help with my investigation. It was one these two who provided me with the Moldovian SSR Passport of which they indicated was used previously by a woman who now goes by the name Orly Taitz.

I really don’t know what to think of it myself.  The picture sort of looks like Orly but not exactly.  Also the year of birth is listed as 1947 (Taitz claims to have been born in the year 1960).

When I expressed my doubts to my help in Moldova I was told that if indeed this was not Orly in the picture then that it was likely that Orly, who would have been age 18 in 1978 (the year that the passport was issued), may have been impersonating the woman shown in the passport picture.

Moreover, I was told that for women the practice was not uncommon (for escape?) in some parts of the Soviet Union if the passport bearer (in this case Orly) resembled the person in the genuine passport picture just enough to dress up (e.g., hair,  facial expression, upper body posture, and corresponding age appropriate clothing and makeup) to play the part of owner of the passport.

In any event (whatever may have happened), I was assured that this passport was used by a woman who now goes by the name Orly Taitz.
