| Summary: | Anchored to the interwar realities, Chișinău was marked by profound changes in its distinctive character, with a symbiosis between the old and the new, between the cultural heritage of the Tsarist period and the newly established, Romanian one. However, customs, mores and mentalities are the most difficult to change within a society. Deeply marked by the manners characteristic of the Russian world and the persistent multicultural amalgam, the behavioral traits of the Chișinău residents of the interwar period show tendencies to consolidate a regional specificity. Caught in a space of comfort, as a generator of a “daily drowsiness”, the inhabitants of Chișinău create the impression of passive, resigned, contemplative and calm-hearted people. At the same time, the locals seem to be of an unprecedented hospitality. Out of inertia, in the urban environment, the perpetuation of customs, traditions and family mores reported to high society, in accordance with the patriarchal Tsarist traditions, continues. Cultivated in the family, school and church, Chișinău society seems to perpetuate healthy moral principles and values, produced by a code of good manners based on common sense, mutual respect, fairness, honor, humanity, honesty, etc. At the same time, the conduct of the townspeople often gravitates between morality, religiosity and superstitions; the inhabitants being forced to choose between moral principles and existential “pleasures”.
