One of the transition paradoxes from totalitarianism to democracy is nostalgia for the communist past that persists in society and 30 years after the fall of the totalitarian regime. This phenomenon represents, according to the specialists in the field, the expression of the revolt against the socio-political and economic transformations of the transition. Nostalgia becomes a place of refuge for those who do not find themselves in today's society. In the present work there will be analyzed the novels „Heaven of the Hens” and „I am a communist woman!” by Dan Lungu, „Slaughter in Georgia” and „People from Chisinau” by Dumitru Crudu, „Sasha Kozak’s Land” by Iulian Ciocan which configure literary typology of the nostalgic character after communism.
