Comunităţi ignorate – cazul românilor din Kazahstan
Forgotten Communities – Romanians in Kazakhstan

Summary/Abstract: On ex-sovietic territory there are many Romanian communities. Some of them seem to be forgotten by us and by our authorities. Among this, we can distinguish the Romanian community from Kazakhstan which counts more than 20 000 peoples. Some of them arrived in this country in the 17th and 18th centuries, as a result of migration from all Romanian provinces. Others were deported here after the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, as a consequence of denationalization politics promoted by the Soviet Russia`s political power. Unfortunately, this kind of politics had good results: today, many people belonging to Romanian community from Kazakhstan forgot their native language and their national history. But a few nonprofit organizations from Romania and Kazakhstan try to wake up their national consciousness.
