In the modern world, under the influence of global factors, there are opposite changes in ethnic and national identity: on the one hand, the number of sources of self-identification is growing, individual identity becomes more complex and changeable, up to its disappearance, on the other hand, there is a revival and restoration of ethnic groups within the framework of transnational associations. Against the background of the aforementioned effects of globalization, the Republic of Moldova is experiencing a deep crisis of civic identity, one of the reasons for which is that ethnic minorities are exposed to numerous external influences and, as a result, are more prone building their identity within their own or kindred ethnic groups. The article presented to the reader is devoted to the study of some examples of the impact of countries such as Romania, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Bulgaria and other international actors on the ethnic minorities of Moldova, in order to determine the trends, approaches and nature of their impact on ethnic minorities in the country. Given the fact that ethnic minorities make up about 25 percent of the population of the Republic of Moldova, the problems of their comprehensive integration are an extremely important aspect of stable development, as they are directly related to the prospects for the formation of the identity of the Moldovan people and the success of the state’s domestic and foreign policies.
