The relevance of this study is due to the intensification of public policy pursued by the authorities of Romania and the Republic of Moldova and aimed at the possible unification of the Republic of Moldova and Romania. With such a development of events, the termination of the existence of Moldovan statehood is possible and, thereby, the creation of a precedent similar to that which took place in the XIX century. The purpose and objectives of the study are to form a scientifically sound conclusion, analyze historical events and legal actions that led to the termination of the existence of the Moldavian Principality in the XIX century. In the course of the research, general scientific and special research methods were used: systemic, logical, analysis and synthesis, historical, interpretation and others. As a result of the study, based on the analysis of a sufficient number of scientific historical sources and normative legal acts, it is proved that the formation of Romania as a state became possible as a result of the external influence of interested, so-called patronizing states. The result of the formation of Romania was the disappearance of Moldovan statehood for more than 60 years.
