Summary/Abstract: Religion is part of the category of particularly complex and sensitive issues, all the more so in the context of a conflict in progress, such as the Transnistrian one.Due to its geographical position at the intersection of geopolitical interests, the left side of the Dniester in its historical course has attracted special attention from a religious point of view.But this research aims to draw attention to the concrete potential of religion in the effort of the parties to build trust, going back through the religious history of the region to understand its identity profile and thus open perspectives for the future, in which the religious factor is involved as a partner in the effort to build trust and implicitly to resolve the conflict.
