The study addresses an important topic related to the evolution of language policy in the
MSSR over two post-war decades. The authors analyze the scientific debates from the periods of
Stalinism and Khrushchevist ,,thaw”, such as the manufacture of ,,Moldovan languages” hybrid,
Latin-Slavic, the role of the scientific meetings of Soviet linguists, since 1951, 1955 and 1961
from Chisinau, in revealing the falsifications regarding the ,,Moldovan language”, in recognition
of the Moldovan-Romanian linguistic identity. An important emphasis is placed on the reflection
of the discussions launched in 1955-1956 in the press by researchers, which led to the approval
by the authorities of the MSSR in August 1957, of the spelling norms of the ,,Moldovan language”,
which was an important step towards its harmonization with the Romanian language.
