Summary/Abstract: Transitional Justice represents an insignificant subject for societies in transition. It is a large process which involves different actors and interests. The situation of transitional justice in the Republic of Moldova shows how the relationship between these two components (actors and interests) can influence (negative or positive) the entire process. This paper will address Moldova’s case of transitional justice as an ex-Soviet republic. The soviet heritage plays an important role within Moldova’s society. Its presence keeps certain memories alive in order to present only the convenient truth for some categories of people. Therefore it is important to problematise the absence of transitional justice in the Republic of Moldova and to identify the main causes of this aspect.
