They are a part of family and community memory about the history of the USSR that usually runs to a sideback from the written history of the time. The attitude to the socialist reforms is described and analyzed in the framework of the institutional and traditional background, designing the social structure and culture of Bulgarian population in Moldova and Ukraine.
