Based on the documents from the archives and on the published sources, this article presents the evolution of historiographical interpretations within the communist period in Romania with regards to the vote from the Country Council (Sfatul Țării) from Kishinev on the 27th of March / 9th of April 1918 which concerned the unification of Bessarabia with Romania and the subsequent adaptations and interpretations of this historical event in conection with the political context. The establishment of the communist regime and the inclusion of Romania within the Soviet sphere of influence has made the Bessarabia issue dissapear from the Romanian historiography. The issue popped up again once the communist political elite from Bucharest started to distance itself from Moscow. Within the history compendium of the Romanian people published in 1970 by the academician Andrei Oțetea the unification of Bessarabia with Romania was only mentioned in a short phrase as a historical event.  A broad presentation of the context of the unification of Bessarabia with Romania was to be made only in 1983 within the work of Mircea Mușat and Ion Ardeleanu, From the Geto-Dacian state to the Romanian unitary state, which appeared in Bucharest. The favorable presentation of the Country Councils’ vote on the unification of Bessarabia with Romania was a way to defy Kremlin, as in Soviet historiography the formula was „The Traitor’s Role of the Country Counsel”.
