Parallel Readings: Bessarabia and the Republic of Moldova in the Romanian and Russian Historical Narratives

Historický časopis, 2026, 74, 2, pp. 343-364, Bratislava

Abstract: The article discusses the Russian-Romanian dispute and the conflicting claims regarding the belonging of historical Bessarabia (Republic of Moldova), from the opposing perspectives of competing national narratives. The author specifically emphasises the connection between official discourses (structured and conditioned by frequent changes of political regimes, but also by the repeated border shifts and revisions) and the narratives developed on the scholarly / academic, cultural, and educational levels. The paper argues that border territories contested by two (and more) national projects—and the struggles over their belong- ing—represent essential elements of the narratives through which collective identities are shaped and reshaped. The competing historical narratives concerning Bessarabia are viewed as an important element structuring the current relations between the Russian Federation and Romania. These narratives also have a significant impact upon the present situation in the Republic of Moldova.

Key words: Bessarabia/Republic of Moldova. Russian-Romanian Relations. Historical Narratives. Borderlands.
