Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the present analysis is to explain thefederalization of the Republic of Moldova (RM) in the concept ofthe Russian Federation and what consequences it would possiblyhave for the RM. Also, to examine whether the federalization project is still possible at the moment and what are the positionstowards it both of the RM and of the Russian Federation.We have in mind that the current president could reactivate thefederalization file if he obtains the parliamentary majority in the2018 elections. We point out that the federalization that isrequired for the RM is not the same as federalization in otherEuropean states such as Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Thecredibility of adopting this model in the case of the RM isdoubtful given the conditions in which it was conceived from thevery beginning.Federalization can not be a solution either to solve conflicts or tocombat separatist tendencies, because it is only a form of stateorganization and nothing more.
