The article is dedicated to the ideological myths created by the new regime set up after 1940–1944 in the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic (_mssr), meant to justify the domination over the tsarist and then Soviet territory between the Prut and the Dniester rivers. The communist propaganda was concerned with outlining a scenario under which “Bessarabia’s invasion” by the Kingdom of Romania had allegedly been a first act of foreign “aggression” against a territory of Soviet Russia, where the power of the “workers and peasants” had already taken hold. Therefore, the “liberation” of 1940 was a “triumph of historical truth” and “a restoration of righteousness.” Also, the “Mol-dovan people” were offered a celebration of Soviet origin designed to integrate them alongside the other peoples of the Soviet Union, and first and foremost alongside the Russian people, the artisans of the “Great October.”.
