Summary/Abstract: Since 1919, with the establishment of the Communist International based in Moscow, the relations between Romania and Russia, traditionally marked by territorial conflicts, know new and serious tensions. Both before the Great Union of the Romanians from 1918, and after its completion, “the problem of Bessarabia” strained the relations between the two neighboring and non-neighboring states, with the difference that “before” the Romanian territory between Prut and Dniester was part of the Tzarist Empire from 1812, and" after "it was part of the Romanian unitary national state. The Comintern and its structures, immediately after its establishment, are associated with the aggressive policy of the Bolshevik government of Soviet Russia against the Royal Romania, which is perpetuated until the self-dissolution of the Communist International in 1943. They knew different forms, intensities and effects, being influenced also by the context of the evolution of international relations. All these give the image of the dramatic situation of the Romanians threatened to be crushed by the new Russian empire, during a period under the recapture of the Europeans after the disaster produced by the first World War.
