Annotation

The political evolution of the post-Soviet Moldavia has been unique. Moldavia is the only post - communist state where a party of communists came to power. At the same time, it is a democratic country which had twice had a peaceful and constitutional transfer of government from a ruling political force to opposition and the only country in the CIS which replaced a presidential system with a parliamentary one. The paper links these unique features with certain characteristics of the Moldavian national consciousness.
