Summary/Abstract: In the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR) the collectivization, industrialization and the cultural revolution was forced by soviet authorities. To accelerate the implementation of the soviet system, there was a mass deporting of people declared as „ enemies with class". Through this mass deporting exercise, the soviet system solved many of their problems like annihilation of smart people who could oppose to the soviet system, change the ethnic structure of MSSR by bringing many native Russians into the country, inducing fear in the local society to obtain their unconditional obedience, etc. The deporting process was applied to all cities and villages of MSSR. ln the below article, the deporting process was analysed based on archived sources and based on witnesses of several deported people from Ghidighici village (today it is a suburb of mun. Chisinau) who survived and managed to come back Accurate evidences of deporting system from MSSR would revive once the archive of Ministry of External Affairs would be decentralized.
