Aspecte ale Chișinăului în evocările lui Gala Galaction

This study touches upon the projections of Chișinău, as these result from Gala Galaction’spublicist activity, scattered in “Viața Basarabiei” (Life of Bessarabia), “Dimineața” (Morning),“Izbânda” (Victory), “Adevărul” (Truth), “România” (Romania) etc. The social, cultural, imagologicalaspects and transformations that Chișinău underwent during the two interwar decades are captured.It reflects the urbanistic aspect, the relief marked by vineyards and coasts, the cultural life and the wayof being of Chișinău inhabitants. The publicist outlines the image of a heteroclitic Chișinău, built onenthusiasm and stagnation, optimism and slowdowns, ascendancy and provincial complexes. However,a strong attachment and a deep involvement in the spiritual life of Chișinău results from all theevocations.
