Reactii ale Partidului Comunist al Moldovei faţă de atitudinea României în criza sovieto-cehoslovacă din 1968
Reactions of the Communist Party of Soviet Moldova towards Romania’s Attitude during the Soviet-Czechoslovak Crisis of 1968

Summary/Abstract: The article highlights the reactions of the Communist Party of Moldova to Romania’s attitude in the Soviet-Czechoslovak crisis of 1968. Concerned with the political evolutions in Czechoslovakia but also with the impact of the ‘special course’ of the leadership of the Socialist Romanian Republic (SRR), with the eventual spreading of ‘nationalist’ and antiSoviet ideas in the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR), the leadership of the USSR and MSSR unleashed a real propagandistic war against Bucharest. This was one of the climaxes of broad anti-Romanian propagandistic campaigns, started in 1965, in response to the distancing from Moscow by the Romanian leadership. Such campaigns aimed at counteracting the internal and external political courses of the Romanian Communist Party, interpretations by Romanian scientists regarding the history of Bessarabia and of the RussianRomanian and Soviet-Romanian relations, import and subscribing of literature from SRR to MSSR, reception and watching of radio and TV stations from SRR in MSSR, natural and ascending development of the cultural and human relations between SRR and MSSR, finally, of the myths of the Russian and Soviet Empires, and Russifying and Sovietizing of the Romanians both from the SRR and MSSR.
