Summary/Abstract: Cristinia Paladian’s article examines cultural memory and Romanian identity in Chernivtsi through the monuments and commemorative plaques dedicated to Mihai Eminescu. It traces the complex history of these “sites of memory”, from the earliest initiatives through the censorship and ideological distortions of the Soviet period to the efforts at historical recovery undertaken after 1989. The article concludes by highlighting the restoration of historical truth through the unveiling, in 2025, of a new bilingual commemorative plaque correcting the Soviet-era inscriptions. In this way, it underscores the resilience of the Romanian community in preserving its language, faith, and spiritual heritage in the face of assimilatory pressures.
