During her Weekly Briefing, Maria Zakharova provided several reports on the situation regarding Moldova whose President Maria Sandu is trying to turn in into another Ukraine for the Outlaw US Empire to use against Russia. The situation has steadily worsened over the past six months and will soon reach a critical point. There are several significant Pro-Russian regions within Moldova that are being repressed Ukraine and Baltics-style. I’m also including her report, “Attempt to "cancel" Russian culture in Romania,” since it’s very relevant as the above graphic implies. The final Q&A is sort of a bonus given the very clear black & white response. And now, Maria:
Thank you Karl, I have a neighbour family (in Montreal) with Vlad, a Russian speaking Moldovan & Ludmilla a Romanian speaking Moldovan (dialect). Vlad is a Polyglot speaking over 16 world languages. Ludmilla speaks at least 4 languages. 3 of their daughters speak 5 languages each & a son who speaks five languages. They both remember the Soviet period fondly for the social & economic organization & opportunities it provided, even on a worldwide business scale. Certainly there were strengths to the Soviet period, but in need of tweaking as an economic system. We have a number of Moldovan & Romanian as well as 450 Slav (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish) speakers in our neighbourhood. As many as 200 children of our 3500 person neighbourhood speak 3 to 7 languages through their play together in many of our green spaces designed as a Garden City (never fully realized).

ECONOMIC MEMORY Its time for holistic proactive natural immunity building with proper cultural record keeping from the family up, as a key personal & public health policy in our times. AUTONOMOUS BODY & SOCIETY SYSTEMS ANALOGY Our social, economic & political system should really be, like the 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') system, a reflection of the gene, cell, tissue & organ Autonomy of the human body with the expert memory retention, decision-making & implementation of each part. The brain’s only one of several Nexus-of-communication for facts & actions, mostly after they’ve already happened. We know for example now how the digestive system contains many times more memory & implementation neurons than the brain. Distributed 'ECONOMIC' (Greek 'oikos' = 'home' + 'namein' = 'care-&-nurture') MEMORY is core to the holistic function of the body. Our bodies as our guides to good living, is the Neural Science of today. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/3-economic-memory
As Romanian I can only say this: There is no such thing as Moldovan language, just like there is no such thing as Austrian language, it is Romanian and, respectively, German language.
As per people, Moldovans have always been Romanian people living on both sides of the Prut river. Just because Russia have occupied the territory on the left bank of that river in 1812 and since then untill the fall of USSR have continually implemented a policy of forced russification (just like they did on all bordering regions and countries annexed to Russian empire and lately USSR) it alters but doesn't change significantly the ethnicity of those predominant populations.
It really pisses me off this grotesque deformation of historical truth.
Seems Moldova existed before Romania, so it's impossible for Moldovans to "have always been Romanian people." On 21 May 1877, Romania proclaimed its independence from the Ottoman Empire, while the current Moldova was ceded to Russia by the ottoman Empire in 1812.
As for Romanian language, it's one of the Romance languages which has its basis in Latin; so, on the basis of language, we could say that Romanians are actually Italians as are the neighboring Moldovans.
The reality is like most humans Moldovans and Romanians are mutts--the product of many different ethnic groups intermixing over thousands of years. Russia figured large in the history of both and helped each gain independence from the Ottomans. The most important tasks for both peoples is to not become geopolitical pawns, which is what's being done now, and to suffer the consequences of acting at the behest of a power--NATO/EU--that doesn't have the best interests of your peoples in mind and wants to manipulate the in the same manner that Ukrainians were manipulated into their tragedy.
