On October 2 this year, the writer Paul Goma would have turned 85 years old. In March he was killed by the new trouble of mankind – Covid 19. In Chisinau, there should have been intense talk about the possibility of a bust of Paul Goma on Aleea Clasicilor. And they even talk, but in very small circles. The bust of Paul Goma is required to be with other great bessarabians, also talented nonconformists, such as B. P. Hasdeu and Constantin Stere. The article points out the main features of Paul Goma that make it a heritage of romanians everywhere, a spiritual, artistic and general-human heritage. Paul Goma is a hero, in the classic aesthetic sense of „tragic hero”, but also in almost every sense of the explanatory dictionary of a person who is worthy of being glorified and esteemed due to the supreme courage he showed in full totalitarian regime. Paul Goma is a model of civic activism, because he initiated in communist Romania a campaign for the defense of human rights, being the only anti-communist opponent in this country approved at Western level. For his novels about the communist gulag in Romania, he was called „a Romanian Solzhenitsyn”. Paul Goma has written over forty books, several of which have been translated into languages of international circulation. Paul Goma created a whole gallery of bessarabian-characters with a special way of reacting to the world around them, with a special philosophy and behavior. His beautiful characters are: the rebellious and subversive bessarabian against the communist regime, the country teacher trained in the romanian school, on duty at home and in the transylvanian refuge, as well as the child from the bessarabian village in inhuman historical conditions. His gallery of female characters impresses with its aesthetic quantity and quality. There are enough reasons to firmly believe that Paul Goma is an important personality that must be taken into account by a people who respect themselves and even be proud to have them.
