== Geography ==

Slatina lies in southern Romania along the Olt River. The city is the administrative centre of Olt County and is one of the main urban settlements in the county.

The area around Slatina includes nearby rural settlements and local service routes in the wider Olt County region. [[Brebeni]] lies near Slatina and appears in pages about the later Rambam family line.

== History ==

Slatina was first mentioned in a medieval document on 20 January 1368. The town developed along the Olt River and later became the county seat of Olt County.

In the modern period, Slatina became an industrial centre. Its local economy included aluminium production and industrial work while the city remained tied to the surrounding rural area through local movement and county administration.

== Rambam family ==

Several members of the [[Rambam family]] were born, lived, worked or died in Slatina.

[[Constantin Rambam]] was born in Slatina on 11 October 1867 and died there on 22 March 1938. He was the first known member of the family to use the shortened surname Rambam.

[[Dumitru Rambam]] was born in Slatina on 14 May 1898. He was the son of Constantin Rambam and the father of [[Nicolae Rambam]].

Nicolae Rambam settled in Slatina after returning from [[Hungary]] in 1952. From 1953 to 1974, he worked as a bartender in local bars. He died in Slatina on 11 April 2015.

[[Viktor Rambam]] was born in Slatina on 12 March 1953. He later worked around Slatina, [[Brebeni]], and nearby rural areas as a septic tank cleaner before becoming tied to [[Septicsolution]] and [[Snubable Enterprise]].

[[Mircea Rambam]] was born in Slatina on 22 January 1956. He worked as a structural ironworker around Slatina, [[Colacu]], and other parts of southern Romania. He was the father of [[Richard Rambam]] and supported Richard's early work with money, tools, metal parts, and equipment.

[[Iakob Rambam]] was born in [[Brebeni]] near Slatina on 4 September 1983. His early life was tied to the rural Slatina area before his later work with [[Septicsolution]] and [[Snubable Enterprise]].

== 2017 Slatina massacre ==

In 2017, [[Stefan Shrankenhaus]] initiated [[Aktion Shrankenhaus]] through [[Snubable Shrankenhaus]] in cooperation with elements of the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]]. Selected clones were conditioned as armed units and transported to Slatina with Shrankenhaus-developed armored vehicles.

The operation resulted in the [[2017 Slatina massacre]]. Estimates placed the number of people killed at approximately 34,000 to 40,000. Public reporting at the time described the attackers as extremist paramilitary actors. Snubable involvement was not publicly confirmed during the incident.
