Republic of Moldova is simply the eastern half of Romania's Moldova region (which is much larger), invaded by USSR in 1940, thus drawing Romania in WW2 on the Axis side. But the official language in Republic of Moldova is still Romanian! 82% of its population is Romanian and speaks Romanian as it's mother tongue. They study "ROMANIAN language and literature" and "History of ROMANIANS" as compulsory subjects in Moldovan schools. In fact, Principality of Moldova became in 1859 a founding member of Romania when it decided to unify with Wallachia, under a MOLDOVAN prince! About 50% of the population of Republic of Moldova have applied for and received Romanian citizenship, arguing that their forefathers have lost it unjustly during Soviet occupation. Not only does Republic of Moldova and Romania have the same flag, but they had the same anthem as well until 1994! So Republic of Moldova is for Romania what East Germany was for West Germany...

They do indeed worry Russia will come after them and use Transnistria as the excuse. Same as they did the Donbass in Ukraine. Also the same as Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia which was the excuse they used to invade Georgia in 2008. Russian forces temporarily occupied the Georgian cities of Zugdidi, Senaki, Poti and Gori, holding on to these areas beyond the ceasefire. The South Ossetians destroyed most ethnic Georgian villages in South Ossetia and were responsible for an ethnic cleansing of Georgians. What is happening in Ukraine is typical Russian behavior toward former satellites.

Do Moldovans think Russia invaded them in 1992? In my opinion Transnistria was a model for hybrid warfare akin to Georgia and Ossetia and Abkhazia and Ukraine and Luhansk and Donetsk. Do people in the street see it that way or no? Also has the failure of Transnistria to build a better life than the rest of Moldova convinced locals that maybe the whole “Russian Peace/ World” thing is a bunch of BS?

[@insidemoldova]

The majority of the population know that the „Russian Peace” thing is just disgusting propaganda. But there are still quite a lot of people here who mindlessly „want” to change the current government with a pro-russian one, but they are just protesting for that because they are being paid by pro-russian organizations. There are even people in Transnistria who are against the war, because they know Russia doesn't really care about them and the situation in Ukraine is very bad for them at the moment.Thank you for your comment!

Russia didnt exsis in 1991 when transnistria declared independence.. Infact when the ussr broke up and the russian constitutional crisis developed and there was shooting in moscow some transnistrian fighters went to help the communists and were deported after. The transnistrian independence predates moldova leaving the ussr and was caused by terrorist attacks on ukrainian and russian ethnic groups by members of nationalist romanian backed agents.. There was no widespread conflict between slavic and moldovan people in the republic but an artificial conflict that pro romanian agents started and that pro "transnistrian" fighters won.. Later russia showed up and slowly put moldova over a barrel by suppoeting transnistria. Ther east bank of the river was always russian.. Prior to the turkish wars it wasnt inhabited and refugees and russian and ukrainians settled there.. Moldova has no right to it. But yes itsa silly situation and as there is no hate between sthe ethnic groups rejoining moldova would be logical. The issue is romania who has no rightful or historical claim on moldova.. Noldova has been its own nation in history.. Romanian illegally occupied others land, hungarians, bulgarians ect and makes such bombastic claims. The nonmoldoval people in moldova who have always been there do not wish to be persecuted by a moldova occupied by romania.. That is the issue. But a moldova with transnistria as part of it would be a more economucally healthy moldova. And russiansin moldova are fine. The attacks oin the late 80s and early 90s were organised by a small group of moldovan police and criminals work for romanian intellegence.. Such thinking has vanished

[@novirasputin2]

@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 I respectfully disagree. Having family deported, killed in pogroms, and lost private property from the transitions between Empire, USSR, and Federation it seems Russia wants to retain privileges, and benefits of the USSR (say with certain international agreements) while writing off responsibilities to the fact that “we didn’t exist yet” Im almost certain the KGB was involved in this. As mentioned more in terms of hybrid warfare. People like Girkin got their start there by his own admission. Calling them “volunteers” or a “civil war” or “help” are standard practice. Now that doesn’t mean there was no presence from Romania for instance but it’s not like the one means the other isn’t involved. Neither does it mean there weren’t some ideologically independent people or groups involved but as I find these are generally turned into pawns fairly quickly and if they don’t know their place in the pecking order eliminated.

Your lives would have been safe and secure and you would have been protected by NATO Romanian army. Your companies would have won lots of EU funded projects just like those in Ardeal or Banat and you would have flourished industrially. Your agricultural produce so high in quality would have sold at great prices throughout EU no taxes. You would have flown TAROM more often and AIR Moldova would have been just a local Airline just like Tyroll Airline, let's say.

Russian is still in use in Moldova. The majority of the population knows how to speak Russian, although it's not their mother tongue. People in Moldova, especially the ones born before 2000 know Russian, because it was either taught in school or they just learned it because they were exposed to it.

actually the moldavian accent/(dialect) has far more slavic loan words so idk how you can understand it easier, saying this as a Romanian Moldavian from Romanian Moldova

[@MsCristea]

​@@tonyslabu6373 It doesn't. Slavic loanwords came from South Slavic languages and Old Church Slavonic. If you don't believe me, compare all Slavic words in Romanian to Russian and Ukrainian, then to Bulgarian and Serbian. The phonetics (melody and rhythm mainly) of Moldovan accent is much closer to Castilian than e.g. Bucharest accent.

[@MsCristea]

It may be a question of rythm and melody.

[@csuiceanu]

Simpel, spanish, french, italian, portughese, romanian (moldovian) lamguages have roots in latin language. In romania we consider moldavian an archaic language. Probably more close to the roots.

Все правильно, Россия защищает свою территорию в ваших краях. Но уже не в ваших. Теперь проебали, как и Молдова проебала Приднестровью в свое время, помнишь?

Is it Romanian language? Why most of them talking only in Romanian? Just wondering, I thought they have own language as a Moldovan or am I wrong?

[@insidemoldova]

In Moldova, we speak Romanian, but with a specific dialect. Most of the population uses a bunch of Russian words here and there, but it is still Romanian.

[@liamros3562]

I think 80% of the population speaks Romanian (with a few differences) Moldova was also called Bessarabia, and part of Romania in the past. Stalin invaded Bessarabia/Moldova in 1939 thanks to the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact (Hitler-Stalin pact)

[@gigikontra7023]

Republic of Moldova is simply the eastern half of Romania's Moldova region (which is much larger), invaded by USSR in 1940, thus drawing Romania in WW2 on the Axis side. But the official language in Republic of Moldova is still Romanian! 82% of its population is Romanian and speaks Romanian as it's mother tongue. They study "ROMANIAN language and literature" and "History of ROMANIANS" as compulsory subjects in Moldovan schools. In fact, Principality of Moldova became in 1859 a founding member of Romania when it decided to unify with Wallachia, under a MOLDOVAN prince! About 50% of the population of Republic of Moldova have applied for and received Romanian citizenship, arguing that their forefathers have lost it unjustly during Soviet occupation. Not only does Republic of Moldova and Romania have the same flag, but they had the same anthem as well until 1994! So Republic of Moldova is for Romania what East Germany was for West Germany...

[@gigikontra7023]

There is no such thing as "Moldovan language". You don't find articles in Wikipedia în "Moldovan language". Google Translate does not list any "Moldovan language". They have a slight "countryside accent" that you encounter in many Romanian villages..

[@proudream]

"Moldovan" is the same language as Romanian. Modovan is just a political term that pro-Russian governments invented so that people from Moldova forget their Romanian identity.

[@marcinsawicki7665]

Very interesting video to see opinions of Moldovan people.About Ukrainians this lady was right we in Poland also have very many of them.And we have very many young Ukrainian Men age like 20-40 driving expensive cars and spending time in nightclubs,pubs and restaurants in city centers of big towns...And many people are iritated seeing this things because we help Ukraine so much and same time we have many polish people who are extremly poor...

[@insidemoldova]

Well, it is understandable that the rich ran away from Ukraine, they can afford living abroad and they don't want to stay in a warzone. Yes, they stay in restaurants and party in nightclubs in the city centre, driving fancy cars, but that doesn't change the fact that there's a war happening right now in their country. There are people who are extremely poor here in Moldova, but i don't think Ukraine has something to do with it.

[@Rubinrus]

@@insidemoldova like, come on. 1) The above middle class of Ukraine decided to flee the country 2) They live a life of luxury after being taken as refugees which means that they don't even think of donating to their country. They don't really care 3) The very same people are asking for support of everyone else, which creates a burden on anyone else but them This is a hypocrisy. They should either stay in Ukraine, either give up on their riches in support of Ukraine. The fact that no one questions them and they were allowed to leave just like that shows that Russia and Ukraine are two sides of the same coin when it comes to corruption.

All post-USSR Moldovia governments were stealing from the country and it became extremely poor and divided, similar to Ukraine.😊

[@tandrichter]

Serguei, most Moldovan governments post USSR were either openly supporting Russia or fighting in opposition to do so. The Pro-EU Governments were few and struggling having been infiltrated by the omnipresent Russians that never left the country.

[@janeaustin9897]

O da! Do you remember the last case with that billion of stolen euros?! Or now...when the retired do not have money for meat, our government members fly to funerals of Elizabeth II etc., get huge salaries that should be divided with the poor. Isn' t it true? I couldn't live like that knowing I take the money that belong to the old. What a shame and tragedy. Apocalypse.

[@ionbrad6753]

The title is not accurate. Video deals with *Republic* of Moldova. This is official name of the state, as declared in the Independence Declaration and in the Constitution. "Moldova" without "Republic of" is the eastern part of Romania (is the former principality of Moldova which united with Wallachia to form Romania), the place were most Moldovans live. Republic of Moldova is just a part of former Moldova twice occupied by Russians. Last occupation occurred in 1940 precisely because Romania suddenly had no more allies (it happened one week after France fell under Hitler). NATO is currently the most powerful security guarantee.
