Ştiinţă şi politică în istoriografia Republicii Moldova (perioada contemporană)
Science and Politics in the Historiography of the Republic of Moldova (Contemporary Period)

Summary/Abstract: The present article aims to present the historiography of the Republic of Moldova following the political changes of 1991. As it can be seen, within this historiographic renewal, the great majority of historians abandoned the Soviet model of writing history based on the adaptation of the past to the imperatives of the political power, and grounded their writings on the observance of historical truth. In parallel, however, there was also a politicized discourse based on the old ideological dogmas that refer to the existence of a "Moldovan people" of distinct origins, speaker of a language different from the Romanian one and who would be entitled to have its own "ancestral hearth". The negative effects of such a vulgarized ideology appeared with no delay, and one of the most serious was the identity crisis of the Republic of Moldova.
