Έπειτα από μία σύντομη περίοδο ρουμανικής κατοχής κατά τον Β' Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, η συσσωμάτωση κάτω από το σοβιετικό διοικητικό και πολιτικό πλαίσιο δύο περιοχών οι οποίες δεν είχαν συνυ πάρξει μέχρι τότε προσδιόρισε το μέλλον της μεταπολεμικής Μολδαβίας.7 Η περίοδος της σοβιετικής κυριαρχίας χαρακτηρίστηκε από πολιτικές που αποσκοπούσαν στην εξάλειψη τοπικών εθνικισμών και την αύξηση της επιρροής από το κέντρο προς την εθνοτικά μη ρωσική περιφέρεια.…”
