Abstract
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 contributes to creating historical narratives. Through an analysis of two memory initiatives, namely ‘The Last Address’ and ‘Stolpersteine’, designed to memorialise victims of Soviet repression and atrocities committed by the Romanian and Nazi German forces, respectively, the article uncovers the many challenges facing memory activists in Moldova where there is limited openness about these periods in recent history. Instead, different versions of the past and suppression of painful truths are subservient to contemporary political agendas.
安娜-森托-布尔和汉斯-汉森将记忆分为对抗性、世界性和鼓动性三类，文章以此为基础，探讨了摩尔多瓦共和国的当代记忆活动及其如何促进历史叙事的形成。通过分析两项分别旨在纪念苏联镇压和罗马尼亚及纳粹德国军队暴行受害者的记忆活动，即 "The Last Address "和 "Stolpersteine"，文章揭示了摩尔多瓦的记忆活动家所面临的诸多挑战，因为在摩尔多瓦，对近代史上这些时期的公开程度有限。相反，不同版本的过去和对痛苦真相的压制服从于当代的政治议程。
