Summary/Abstract: In this study, the Chisinau urban space modelled literally from the perspective of the fusion community, but also from the thinking singularity, which always redefines the places that mark its destiny route, the collective and multi-ethnic identity that reflects the historical drama of the city society in Bessarabia, is subject to analysis. The literary discourses "Pactizing with the devil" by Aureliu Busuioc, "Jewry" and "Villa" by Nicolae Esinencu revealed the Sovietized Chisinau as a space of changing sociality and political theater, historical-social forming of varied geocritical meanings. Each author manages to build his own unique vision of the characters, individual stories, according to their life and reveals different development periods of the Chisinau city and different types of behaviour in front of the chronological time through original ways of structuring the urban topos with changing historical identity: identity of provincial fair, capital of the province, capital of the Soviet republic.
