    As being Moldovan, I am rather impressed that for the first time there is a video describing the general history and features of the country instead of continuously repeating the label that is placed upon Moldova as the “poorest country in Europe”. Thank you for educating the world and for providing rather specific, factual information!

      Dan Panov Classes are not in Gagauz there, advertising is also in Russian. The state authorized them to have a somewhat level of independence and preserve their language (gagauz) for a reason. If most people are not speaking that language, but mostly Russian, then the status quo needs to be changed, their local government dismantled and have them conform to State laws.

Коммунизм отжил свой век, но к сожалению это ещё не понимают. Что касается воссоединения с Румынией, это две разных культуры. Даже Румыния этого не хочет. Нашей страной управляют извне и нам нужно сначала разобраться с внутренними проблемами, а потом можем вести переговоры о потенциальном воссоединении.

    You say Moldova is bad at PR, but they arguably have the strongest and most distinct “brand” in the entire Eurovision Song Contest. From their very first appearance in 2005, Moldova have almost never shied away from some craziness, inc. the grandma drummer, Epic Sax Guy (obv), the gnomes, the woman whose dress becomes a volcano, the Vaudevillian wall of body parts... Europe not only loves it, but expects it, and Moldova still seems happy to deliver

    Two things
    1 - Moldovans are Orthodox because of the Byzantine Empire and not Russia.
    2 - The coast south of Moldova did in fact belong to Moldova, but Russia decided to give it to Ukraine and instead give Moldova the Transnistria region which was inhabited by Russian and Ukranian majority, which of course rebeled when Moldova proclaimed independence, the war broke out and Russia came and as ''good guys'' stopped the war and conveniently left their army there to this day.
    So we have been robbed of the sea, the mountains and even the small shitty piece of land they gave us in return.

Numbers, thus, are extremely inflated. The capital has around 800k people, but the rest of the country's population is at least halved since 1990, completely empty villages beginning to be common. The elderly die, the young prefer the capital or just out of the country. Such a small country, with a small population, but I hear moldovans e verywhere I go.

    I'm British but live in Eastern Europe now and speak Romanian, and had an excellent time in Moldova late last year during Winter. People are hardworking and good at heart as they have had many struggles and many still struggle to make a living, I had a lot of good conversations and everyone always helped openly. I would encourage people to visit but be open minded and don't try and compare it to what you are used to, just go and take it for what it is and show a bit of respect while there as things are tough, meaning don't haggle over a few lei, as its absolute peanuts for a foreigner and don't go on about how cheap it is; cheap for a visitor maybe but not for the majority of Moldovans. If you visit Transnistria and exit through Moldova again and not Ukraine, then be prepared to answer a few questions from the border police as to why you were there. I hope too one day Romania and Moldova unite, unfortunately it seems that polls in Romania, show Romanians overwhelmingly support it, yet consistently, polls in Moldova show the opposite, that most people want to stay as an independent Moldova.

      @Hungary #1 I think its fair to say that whole area going back to the days before and then during the Roman Empire has experienced many many geographical changes, with land being taken, handed back, formed, re-formed etc. So bit unfair to say Romanians are deceitful and treacherous and less hardworking, when they are the same people, formerly part of Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania and given Moldavia and Wallachia did form 'Romania', despite the annexation of Bessarabia by the Soviet Union. So Wallachians and Moldovians were Romania, until the Republic of Moldova declared independence. The east and north east of Romania still is Moldovia. So bit harsh your comments given the history of the region and how often it has changed hands etc, but ultimately modern Moldova and those peoples comprising modern Romania share the same language and the same religion and same traditions.

But funny all my good friends here and my family here must be all lazy traitors as you put it..bit sad given I live here so it's first hand for me too and all my friends and family are very decent and hardworking. I can't stand stereotyping like you have done as for me both sides of the border have good people trying to make ends meet. I think people need to be careful talking about treachery etc in this part of the world given so many countries and rulers have at times sold, bought and swapped allegiances...Austro-Hungarian empire.. Ottoman Empire.. France.. better to be progressive and look to the future

You may be romanian or russian but never ever transnistrian. Its like you will say you are martian beacouse you are from mars, sorry bro. By the way ... why you have romanian cities there ? The name of the conflict region is from river Nistru, a romanian river name, and trans comes from a transition area that form the name trans-nistru, a conflict area between moldovians and ucranians, and depported russians. For romanians, moldovians are like texans in the US, basicaly are romanians, we have the same language from 2000 years with dialects.

There are many young people that study in Roamnia's cities, then get their paperwork and never go back. So this is the best way to unite the two countries. Screw the politicians, let the peaople decide their nationality :)

    Thank you for the video. Very accurate. We Moldovans are indeed ethnically Romanians. We have the same language, the same ancestors, the same traditions, food, religion. Even our flags are similar. Hope one day our countries will re-unite 🇷🇴🇲🇩!!!!!!

    Fun(ish) fact: there are more "Moldovans" living in Romania than in the Republic of Moldova. What I mean by this is that in the Romanian region of Moldova (Western Moldova) there are more people than in the entirety of the Republic of Moldova. Both groups of people are just as Moldovan (and Romanians at the same time). In a sense, Romanian Moldova is more of a "proper Moldova"... granted, the term I use is exagerated, but all the historical capitals of the medieval state of Moldova are there, the tombs of the greatest Moldovan rulers are there, even the river that gives the region its name flows in its entirety in the Romanian Moldova. Also, the first ruler and prime minister of united Romania were from Moldova

    • @redskytitan
      @redskytitan 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is correct! Think of the Republic of Moldova as the Eastern half of the Romanian Province of Moldova. FYI - Romania is a union of three historic provinces or principalities: Moldova, Muntenia (aka Wallachia) and Transilvania.
