The article is based on 28 interviews with Moldovan migrants in Czechia made in 2017. It deals with social remittances (Levitt) of the given Moldovan respondents while trying to incorporate results into concepts of conflicting cleavages (Lipset, Rokkan) and modernization theory (Inglehart).
All results are discussed within the migration-development nexus. The main message coming from the analysis is that transfer of social remittances (of the given Moldovan migrants in Czechia) is very limited and importantly depends on historical and geographical contexts in their mother country.
In other words, "direct positive impact" of the modernization is significantly hinderred by existing conflicting cleavages there.
