The fragility of Soviet power in the new national peripheries outlined after the end of the Soviet-German war, led the Empire of affirmative action (Terry Martin) to return (with some adjustments) to the policy of indigenization of cadres in national regions. In addition to the stated intentions to stimulate the participation of national representatives in state and party bodies and to develop national culture, the Kremlin aimed to create a new Soviet-style national elite and to „educate” social and national loyalties, which would be the foundation of regime and the promoter of „communist ideals” in the MSSR. Promoting the positive discrimination of Moldovans in the process of creating the academic body of higher education institutions established after 1945, the regime faced the lack of a pool of Romanian and/or Romanian-speaking intellectuals from where it could have recruited teaching staff appropriate to the new rigors. The teaching staff of the high schools was created by recruiting several graduates of Romanian and European „bourgeois” universities and especially graduates of institutes in Tiraspol, brought to Bessarabia from across the Dniester. The confidence of these „Moldovans”, where it would not have been at all, in the populist discourse of the communist regime, associated with little professionalism, sometimes dubious intelligence, but also the voluntarism of the Soviet „envoys” (most of the personnel in high schools in the MSSR), fueled and stimulated indirect nationalist manifestations, sometimes they erupted in open actions. The statements such as „Russians have nothing to look for in a Moldovan institute if they do not know the Moldovan language” or „the institute has become Russian and I have nothing to do in this institute” reflected the true state of affairs in the MSSR, pointing to an aggressive process of Russification and Sovietization.
