In 1989 the protest in ex Soviet Moldavia went with the demands over matters of language, history and national identity. Following the explosive entrance of the mass of 1989, protest actions of 1995 and 2002 came as continuation of that debut, stipulating the national values of that time. Frustrated by the alienation of national values in time, the potential protesters of 1989 re-gather and require their collective actualization as a new “wave of national revival”. Like an unre- solved conflict, „the incomplete dossier of 1991”, reappears cyclically, every time when political decisions put forward national problems. This paper is intended to be a contribution from social psychological perspective to understand the 1989 events. We have done a series of comprehensive interviews with persons who had participated in diverse manifes- tations of protest of 1988-1989. The main question of this endeavour was how the performers’ representations look out founded initially in the direct confrontation with the eventful tumult (with the experience of the new and therefore with the possibility of change), reflected now, post factum by means of narrative discourses.
