"Carte românească de învăţătură..." (The Romanian Book of Learning...) is a book by the Metropolitan of Molda-via Varlaam. Edited in Yassi in 1643, The book, also known as Cazania lui Varlaam ("The Cazania of Varlaam" or "Varlaam's Homiliary"), was the very first printed in Moldavia and large numbers of copies spread in the neighboring provinces inhabited by Romanian speakers. In the postwar period into the territory between Prut and Dniester Cazania lui Varlaam they met only very few things because the Communist censorship forbade the use of the term "Romanian", and religious-themed literature. Thus, information about "sermons (Cazania)" had a limited and distorted character, as it was called "Moldavian book" and presented only in the light of relations with the Slavic culture. In the former Soviet space there have been 5 original copies of the book, of which only one was found in Chișinău. Limited access to the original text has created a huge gap in terms of study and acceptance of this important monument of the Romanian spiritual culture. Currently it is necessary to return over the study, to publish and dissemination Varlaam՚s "Cazania".

The essence of current Moldovenism is the recognition of existence of ”Moldovan people”, different from the Romanian people, and of “Moldovan language”, different from Romanian language, giving the Russian language the status of a State language. Moldovenists declare themselves loyal defenders of the Moldovan statehood, which must turn to the Euro-Asian Union, not to the European Union. Obviously, under no circumstances they do not accept the discipline of the History of Romanians, permanently requesting its removal from the study plans and the introduction of the discipline “History of Moldova” in order to educate the “patriots of Moldova”. The Moldovenists syntheses that emerged in Chisinau, Moscow and Odessa in the last two decades seek to “demonstrate” the “originality of the Moldovan people”, from their formation in the 13th-14th centuries, perhaps even earlier, in Maramures (Transylvania), to the east of the Carpathians, or perhaps elsewhere. The documentary sources are falsified, they insist that the term voloh would designate a different ethnic entity existent to the East of the Carpathians, from the ethnic community designated by the term valah, living in the space between the Danube and the Carpathians.
