Abstract:
								The article deals with the effects of the 
								pandemic on Romanian society and politics. In 
								the first part of this article, I show why the 
								changes in the Romanian society will not be as 
								dramatic as it is suggested frequently in the 
								public space. In this part, I appeal to various 
								theories such as that of relative frustration, 
								to the Tocqueville effect, to the theory of 
								collective memory but also to the issue of 
								comparability at the microsocial level, where 
								protest and electoral behaviors are primarily 
								formed. In the second part of the article, I 
								show that deep changes can take place however in 
								society and I present the forms of social change 
								that can take place. I insist here on three 
								major issues that can explain the mechanisms of 
								social change. It is about what I call the 
								breaking of the routine in organizations, the 
								dilemma of missing services and the tacit 
								accumulation of dissatisfactions.
