Lunka

[1] Until 18 July 2020, Lunka belonged to Hertsa Raion.

[4] In 1989, out of 497 people in the village, 428 were Romanians (86.12%), 51 were Moldovans (10.26%), 13 were Ukrainians (1.2%) and 4 were Russians (0.8%).

[5] A majority of the population with a Moldovan and Moldovan-speaking identity switched their declared census identities from Moldovan and Moldovan-speaking to Romanian and Romanian-speaking between the 1989 and 2001 censuses, and the process has continued ever since, which was typical for the former Hertsa Raion.

[6] A massacre took place there on February 7, 1941, when hundreds[7] of civilians (mostly ethnic Romanians) were killed during an attempt to cross the border from the Soviet Union to Romania.
