Abstract
In the present research, we will present a radiography of the Soviet subversive action in the interwar Bessarabia, a historical province united to Romania in 1918, which had several goals, including challenging the authority of the Romanian administration in the province; the mobilizing Bessarabians of different nationalities against the Romanian state; the presentation inside and outside the Soviet state of a contesting spirit in Bessarabia against the new Romanian order and finally the preparation of its annexation, which will take place on June 28, 1940. The article reveals an annexationist plan meticulously prepared for two decades in Moscow, simultaneously carried out in other neighboring states (Poland and the Baltic States), which is intended to overcome the effects of the paradigm of the Soviet ultimatum as one that “fell out of the blue”, often used to explain the Romanian tragedy in the summer of 1940.
