"The Monument to the Victims of the Soviet Occupation (Romanian: Piatra comemorativă a victimelor ocupației sovietice și ale regimului totalitar comunist) is a proposed monument in Chișinău, Moldova.

A commemorative stone was unveiled on 28 June 2010, as a monument to the victims of the Soviet occupation and the totalitarian communist regime, Soviet Occupation Day in Moldova. It is located on Great National Assembly Square, formerly known as Victory Square and once home to the central monument to Vladimir Lenin of Soviet Moldavia. It is prominent in front of Government House, originally the seat of the Council of Ministers of the Moldavian SSR and now of the Cabinet of Moldova. In English, the inscription on the stone reads:

In this place
will be built a monument
in memory of the victims
of Soviet occupation
and the totalitarian communist regime

Translating the Romanian Wikipedia page about this monument we learn, that a decree signed by the former interim president (Mihai Ghimpu) led to the erection of the proposed monument. Later, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova decided that this decree is unconstitutional. There were several attempts to remove it, but they didn't succeed. But it is also unlikely, that the "proposed monument" will one day be replaced by a bigger monument - at least not in the near future.
