Abstrakt
Drawing on the threefold categorisation of memory as antagonistic, cosmopolitan and agonistic, proposed by Anna Cento Bull and Hans Hansen, the article examines contemporary memory activism in the Republic of Moldova and how it enters the process of creating a historical narrative. Through an analysis of two memory initiatives, namely, "The Last Address" and "Stolpersteine," designed to simultaneously memorialise victims of Soviet repression and atrocities committed by the Romanian and Nazi German forces, the article sheds light on the mechanisms underlying the formation of historical narratives within Moldova.
By scrutinising these memory projects, the article offers insights into the complex landscape of historical narrative construction in Moldova, further unravelling the nuances of Moldovan memory politics.
