Propunând imaginea celuilalt în Chiinaul interbelic, ne-am propus sa decodicam modalitaile prin care oamenii din Chiinau s-au reectat în oglinda celuilalt, astfel încât am ajuns sa abordam aspectele ce in de citadinii i strainii în raport cu oraul, elitele vechi i noi precum i periferia oraului, minoritaile naional-etnice i imigranii interni i externi, inclusiv refugiaii, precum i marginalii societaii. Din cele expuse, surprindem faptul ca Chiinaul de la începutul perioadei interbelice avea o marca identitara, cu pretenii de mareie, desprinsa din zionomia fostului imperiu arist. Spectaculos prin felul sau deosebit de a , Chiinau avea acele faete care aminteau totui (de la strazile largi, spectrul multietnic al populaiei) de existena unei comunitai cosmopolite desprinse dintr-un spaiu urban multicultural atât de contrastant cu periferia oraului, monolita în totalitate din punct de vedere etnic i cultural. Treptat, pe parcursul celor peste 20 de ani de administraie româneasca, Chiinaul a împletit în istoria sa, prin ascensiunea noilor i decaderea vechilor elite, caracteristici ale românitaii i noilor tendine. Spațiul de regasire, poate chiar oraul iubit al atâtor neamuri, de la evrei, rui, ucraineni, la armeni i alte comunitai, Chiinaul a scos la iveala experiena dicultailor zilnice de a  diferit în raport cu restul urbelor din cadrul României întregite.

Proposing the image of the other in the interwar Chisinau, we set out to decode the ways in which the people of Chisinau reflected in the mirror of the other, so that we came to address the aspects of citizens and foreigners in relation to the city, the old and new elites as well as the periphery of the city, national-ethnic minorities and internal and external immigrants, including refugees, as well as the marginals of society. From what has been presented, we can see that Chisinau from the beginning of the interwar period had an identity mark, with claims of greatness, derived from the physiognomy of the former tsarist empire. Spectacular in its special way of being, Chisinau had those facets that still reminded (from the wide streets, the multi-ethnic spectrum of the population) of the existence of a cosmopolitan community detached from a multicultural urban space so contrasting with the periphery of the city, completely monolithic from an ethnic and cultural point of view. Gradually, during the more than 20 years of Romanian administration, Chisinau has woven into its history, through the rise of the new and the decline of the old elites, characteristics of Romanianness and new trends. The space of rediscovery, perhaps even the beloved city of so many nationalities, from Jews, Russians, Ukrainians, to Armenians and other communities, Chisinau revealed the experience of the daily difficulties of being different in relation to the rest of the cities within Romania as a whole.
