One of the forms of communist repression in Moldovan SSR was the famine of 1946- 1947, which killed about 10% of the population of the republic and suffered the whole population, except for the party nomenclature. Statistical data on the number of people suffering from dystrophy, the number of deaths, the number of food cards reported on the number of population show a biased state behavior towards the population of cities. The ethnic composition of cities also suggests the most difficult condition during the famine of the majority population compared to the ethnic groups in the cities. The lowest number of victims of hunger in terms of population numbers is certified in the city of Tiraspol, followed by the growth of the towns of Bender, Chisinau, Balti. Officials’ decision to cancel food cards for individuals holding individual households has dramatically increased the number of hunger victims in rural areas.
