Summary/Abstract: In 1924, on the left bank of the Dniester, the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was established as part of Soviet Ukraine. Soon after, the problem of national and linguistic identity of the new state was raised. In April 1925, the Executive Committee of the Comintern sanctioned the Ukrainian and Russian communists views regarding the existence of a Moldovan language different from Romanian and of a Moldovan people different from Romanians. Further on, territorial claims could have been raised to the Romanian state, with the intent of annexation of Bessarabia and even all of Moldova to the Soviet Union.
