The unification of Romania and Moldova is a popular concept in the two countries beginning with the late 1980s, during the collapse of communism. The Romanian Revolution in 1989 and the independence of Moldova in 1991 further contributed to the development of a movement for the unification of the two Romanian-speaking countries. The question of reunification is recurrent in the public sphere of the two countries, often as a speculation, both as a goal and a danger. The idea is widespread in Romania but has been opposed by most Moldovans according to polls in recent years. However, a poll in April 2021 found that 50% of Moldovans would support unification if local salaries and pensions became the same as those in Romania, while 43% would remain opposed.
