Summary/Abstract: According to the Munich based scholar the history of moldovan csangos was much more influenced by major european events, then it was earlier thought. One has to mention here their (i.e. csangos) strictly defined frames by the two known totalitarian regimes of the 20th century. One key event of matter to csangos from the hungarian side was the resettlment project on the summer of 1944 that eventually failed. This clearly shows the ideological positions of both the hungarian and rumanian government of that time, as well as the role of Nazi Germany on the csango issue.
