Abstract: The article offers an analysis of the institutional change in the Soviet higher education during the establishment and consolidation period of the USSR. The objective of the analysis focuses on the process development, mainly on the description of the constitutive actions of the Soviet higher educational system. The approach is viewed from a neo-institutional perspective and aims at offering a palette of explanations like path dependence for the rooting, establishment and marginal adapting to context of the main organization and management relations of the Soviet higher education system in the interwar period. The arguments offered may be used currently to explain the processes related to the failure of changes aimed at modernizing the higher education system in Moldova in the years after 1991.
