De la restructurarea URSS la independența RSSM (1985-1991)
From the restructuring of the USSR to the independence of the SSRM (1985-1991)

Summary/Abstract: The transition of Moldavia from a Soviet Socialist Republic to an independent and democratic nation was a process that spanned (roughly) from 1985 to 1991. In this paper the author presents the relations between the reforms undertook by Mikhail Gorbachev (”Glasnost” and ”Perestroika”) and the emergence of a political opposition from within the Moldavian civil society against the Communist Party that ruled this peripheral Soviet Republic. More than this, the paper presents the relations between the main political opposer of the communists (gathered in different civil organizations) and the leadership of the Soviet Moldavia. The events that facilitated the dissolution of the Soviet Union are also mentioned and analyzed at a local and broader level, from the relation of Moldavia with the main Soviet Nations (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine), to the political and diplomatic bounds that are made during the year 1991 with Romania
