BRINK OF EXISTENCE - the forgotten people in small villages of Moldova

15 people inhabit the village at the Petresti railway station in the Ungheni district of Moldova. But that’s just official data. In reality, even less than that. The same situation is in Pavlovca, Briceni district, where live circa 20 residents. These villages are two of the many artificially created towns in the immediate vicinity of state institutions or state-owned enterprises, which were established during the Soviet times. People from all over the country would flock to villages like Petresti and Pavlovca to get a job and state provided housing.
26 years after the dissolution of USSR, only a few families and elderly people still live here, the youngsters leaving for better opportunities in the country or abroad. The institutions went bankrupt or are on the verge of closing. These people are what is left of them.
The project was carried out thanks to the assistance provided by the American people through the US Embassy in Chisinau. The opinions expressed do not necessarily represent the position of the embassy.

Despite their problem with water(and it should be fixed) they live a good life, much better than the one I live in a big city.

Thanks for the Video. It is very heart warming and concerning. I am from the USA and want to encourage the People of Moldova to keep their Faith. It is 2021 and from what i am hearing it will be a Glorious year for the Whole World. Things are changing. All i ask is for the Beautiful Souls living there to Hold the Line. I truly believe the Best is Yet to Come. You will see what i am saying is TRUE. I believe it with all my Heart. I have a Burden for Moldova and it's Great People. I am praying God will let me fulfill my hearts desire for Moldova. Trust and Faith. God Wins. I pray this in the Name that's above every Name, The Name of JESUS!!!
