Summary/Abstract: The development in Eastern and Central Europe in the 20 century has been marked by abrupt changes regarding territorial supremacy linked with different political ideologies. This has affected both the composition of the population and the ideology of power together with its symbolic representation. This latter aspect has been investigated with a functionalistic approach inspired from Deutsch 1 regarding Eastern and Central Europe by Book 2 , concerning Finland and Russia by Paasi 3 and Kaliningrad by Sezneva 4 . This article focuses on a city situated in the present Romania and on the presentation of the city from two ethnic perspectives together with the construction of two communities.
