Biography

Mihai Cimpoi was born on September 3, 1942, in the family of Ilie and Ana Cimpoi, peasants from the commune of Larga, Hotin County, Kingdom of Romania. The future academician, after primary and secondary education, graduated from the Faculty of Philology from Chișinău (1965), after which he became the editor of the magazine "Nistru" (until 1972) and a consultant of the Union of Writers. In 1973, his signature and public activity are forbidden, because he "dared" to address the aesthetic critique of the Călinescian origin instead of the official, sociologistic.

He was a member of the Parliament of Moldova. He is a leader of the Democratic Forum of Romanians in Moldova.
