The “Moldovan” identity project started in MASSR, in a political context created by the union, on March 27, 1918, of Bessarabia with Romania, in order to destabilize the situation in Romania and to promote the geostrategic interests of the USSR in this area. Despite the Soviet propaganda, which tried to present the creation of MASSR on October 12, 1924 as a great achievement of the Soviet national policy, the legitimacy of the creation of MASSR was a doubtful fact, if we take into account the following: Romanians in this territory constituted only 31.5% of the total population; until 1924 on the territory that was included in MASSR there was no Romanian school; no Romanian newspaper appeared; the language of public administration and the church was Russian or Ukrainian; the number of Moldovans in state structures and MASSR party and Komsomolist organizations was very small. At the end of 1931, at Moscow’s instructions, the Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolshevik) in Ukraine sent a “top secret” circular to the Moldovan Regional Party Committee of the MASSR emphasizing the need to switch to the Latin alphabet and setting deadlines. In the spring of 1932, the decision of the MASSR People’s Commissariat for Education “About the Latinized Moldovan Alphabet and Spelling” was adopted, which established 26 letters of the Latin alphabet and the spelling rules of the “Moldovan language”.
