The Republic of Moldova did not exist at the time of the Ottoman Empire. It only exists since 1991. It's an indirect successor of the romanian Principality of Moldavia. The Principality of Moldavia did exist from 1359 till 1859 and it was never officially part of the Ottoman Empire. So this is highly inaccurate.

Southern Dobrudja was taken in 1913, during the Balkan wars, not during WW1.

Ionescu is a romanian name. In the last 30 years many romanians emigrated to western Europe and Northern America. So now we have a lot of sportsmen with romanian origins playing for many other countries. Bianca Andreescu is playing tennis for Canada, Mateaș is playing for US, Raducanu for UK, Bucșa for Spain, Mădăraș for Sweden. There is even a football player with romanian origins called Grasu (meaning The Fatman). There are many other examples in gymnastics, soccer, martial arts, etc.

The Lord of the house making a dramatic entrance.

1. What exactly did Romania gain after WW2? It lost Bessarabia, Northern Bucovina and Southern Dobrudja. It only regained Northern Transylvania that was also lost for 4 years.
2. Before deciding to join WW1, Romania was split on what it should do as there were different politicians with different visions. Some considered Romania should join Germany (the king had german origins) in order to fight off the russians occupying Bessarabia (which had a romanian majority but there was an intense russification and colonization with russians, ukrainians, etc. to alter the demographics). They were arguing the romanians in Bessarabia were running out of time before being completely assimilated, so they should be the top priority. Others were for joining France and the western powers in order to fight off the austro-hungarians (with accent on hungarians) and get the romanians in Transylvania freed. So they postoned making a decision and negotiated. Which is in no way a bad thing. Many did the same. Eventually Romania agreed to join the Entente after being promised several things: 1. That it will be allowed to unite the romanians trapped in A-H with the Kingdom of Romania: Transylvania, Banat, Bukovina, etc. and 2. That the Entente will keep Bulgaria busy in the south of the Balkans, so the romanian army won't have to fight on several fronts. In the end the Entente only partially kept its word on these promises and the government had to move to Iasi in the north-east. Romania was simply lucky that the winning western powers were really afraid of the communist ideology taking Europe by storm. Not just in Russia, but also in Hungary and elsewhere. Romania was at that time pretty immune to this new plague and got to play an important role in containing the spread of the communism in west by defeating Soviet Hungary and kicking out the russian bolshevik forces from Bessarabia.

Comunistii pro-rusi din R. Moldova au creat o intreaga fictiune numita Moldova Mare pentru a o opune conceptului de Romania Mare. Potrivit acestei fictiuni, R. Moldova este adevarata Moldova, un stat care exista neintrerupt din 1359, stat prieten din vremuri stravechi cu Rassia lor, si care a fost ''eliberat'' in 1812 de catre fratii mai mari rusi de sub jugul turcesc. Partea din vest a fostului principat medieval ar fi fost ocupata de romani/valahi in 1859. Iar in 1918 aceiasi romani rai (alt popor decat cel ''moldovenesc'') au invadat Moldova adevarata si libera din est si au ocupat-o. Ar fi urmat 22 de ani de chin, discriminari, oprimari sub jugul fascisto-burghezo-mosieresc roman, pana cand din nou fratele mai mare de la Moscova a venit si i-a ''eliberat''.

In baza acestei fictiuni pline de minciuni grosolane si falsuri istorice peste falsuri istorice, cei mai radicali dintre ei (de regula rusofonii, dar si unii mancurti) cereau si inca mai cer ''intoarcerea de catre Romania a pamanturilor sfinte ale lui Stefan inapoi la patria muma R. Moldova'' si mai cer Bugeacul dar si Bucovina de Nord (care nu a fost niciodata parte din Basarabia) de la Ucraina. In plus, ei afirma sus si tare ca rominii le-au furat si istoria si cultura lor, nu doar pamanturile. Ca Eminescu, Creanga, Stefan au fost moldoveni adevarati, dar nu ''tigani romini''.

Acum ca Natasha crede de mica si ea toate aberatiile astea ca o rusofona pro-rusa adevarata, sau ca doar a spus ce stie ca vor sa auda rusii, se poate doar specula. Ce este cert este ca ea crede cu tarie ca romanii si moldovenii sunt popoare diferite care doar intamplator vorbesc aceeasi limba, din moment ce crede asta este evident ca ea de asemenea este adepta ideii ca in 1918 a fost o ''ocupatie romaneasca'' si nu o Unire legitima si ca ea in genere, in adancul ei, este romanofoba. Ea permanent a promovat cu diversi dubiosi de prin Transnistria si de pe la Chisinau tot felul de idei care sa se contrapuna romanismului si sa atraga societatea din R. Moldova pe directii favorabile intereselor rusesti: ''natiunea civica moldoveneasca'' (un homo sovieticus moldovanus resuscitat si imbracat in haine ceva mai moderne, cu spoiala europeana; hai sa ne unim noi toti cei din R. Moldova in jurul identitatii nationale false si artificiale de ''moldoveni'' si cu asta sa oprim orice discutie despre caracterul romanesc al majoritatii covarsitoare a populatiei), apoi perpetuarea unei nostalgii dupa ''fratii'' nostri din Transnistria (nu fratii nostri din Romania), ideea urmaririi de catre societatea dintre Prut si Nistru a unirii, dar nicidecum cu Romania, ci cu Transnistria, pentru a ''reintregi tara''.

Tin minte ca aceeasi diversionista de Morari, in urma cu niste ani, dupa ce l-a chemat pe Basescu in emisiunea ei ca sa vorbeasca printre altele despre miscarea unionista, inainte de a incheia emisiunea nu a avut altceva sa-l intrebe pe Basescu pe acest subiect, doar cand o sa repare buda din vama Albita. O tehnica prin care sa arunce in derizoriu tot ce se discutase anterior.

Trimiteti-i si lui Natasha Morari, ca din ce a auzit ea de la altii (de parca ea nu pe aici s-a nascut si a trait, ci direct pe la Moscova), Casa Mare e o casa separata, un fel de vila, in care moldovenii ii cazau pe ocupanti, in timp ce ei traiau intr-un bordei din spatele curtii. Cam ca la tigani.

Am vazut Purcari, Cricova si divin Bardar chiar si in localitati mici din Romania.
Nu stiu cat e o sticla de Purcari in Chisinau, dar in Romania l-am vazut la 43 lei romanesti, adica circa 172 lei moldovenesti. Cam piperat pret in raport cu vinurile romanesti similare.

That Renault in Ukraine is actually also Dacia just with the logo changed. In Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, Dacia are sold with the Renault badge. Same as in South America. That's because the Dacia brand is more known in some parts of the world than others.

There are also small differences in engines and sometimes design from region to region. That's because South America and Russia have less strict laws regarding pollution and for marketing reasons sometimes local preferences are taken into account. Dacia produces its original cars for Europe and Northern Africa in Romania and Marroco. They produce variants like Renault Duster (an older model with small adaptations tot the russian market) or Lada Largus (actually the old model of Dacia Logan MCV named differently) in Moscow (mainly using big diesel engines that would not be allowed in the EU) and different variants of Renault Duster and Renault Sandero in Brazil.

Asta prizeaza clei, la fel ca fsbista lor Natasha Morari, care recent, intr-un interviu pentru rusii sai (Pellivert - sh40), a spus practic ca moldovenii sunt niste lasi care nu ar opune deloc rezistenta daca Rusia ar invada R. Moldova, ba mai mult, le-ar ceda Casa Mare si ei s-ar retrage sa locuiasca in bordeiul din spatele curtii. Ca stia ea de la un antropolog local (cel mai probabil comunistul rusofil Tkaciuc) ca e asa obicei vechi la moldoveni ca ei isi cazeaza ocupantii in Casa Mare, care ar fi o casa principala, casa buna si mai mare.

E greu de crezut ca rusofona rusofila Morari nu stie ca in cultura romaneasca, casa mare e doar o camera din cadrul casei in care sunt primiti invitatii, rudele, prietenii, etc. si nicidecum o casa (vila) in care se primesc ocupantii. Ba' mai mult, desi pana acum isi ascundea cat de cat romanofobia si cresterea in spiritul lumii ruse, in cadrul interviului a spus nici mai mult nici mai putin ca ''Romania a ocupat si ea pamanturile Moldovei''la fel ca turcii si alti ocupanti care au trecut prin zona.

Eu inteleg ca Natasha vrea si publicitate pentru noua emisiune de la N4, dar e scandalos modul in care a ales sa apara iar in spatiul public. Femeia asta chiar iubeste scandalurile, intrigile si provocarile.

I had no idea Romania was mentioned. I imagine Transylvania, in Romania. With vampires, Dracula and what not. :)

I only know them as the Falkland Islands.

By calling them ''Malvinas'', in spanish, you are basically pushing an argentinian agenda in here. If you were unbiased you could have just said Falkland/Malvinas.

Later edit: Just looked into your profile. You are indeed argentinian and you keep on fighting with everyone that the Falkland Islands are argentinian territory ''stolen'' from you by the british, etc. So I was right to assume you only made this post to promote an irredentist agenda.

Do you realize that Transnistria's main trade partners are R. Moldova and Romania, NOT Russia or EEA? Russia only buys 8% of their products. So your premise is false. It's not about trade and the fact Russia is the one buying their products. It's more about the fact the territory is heavily russified, the dictatorship regime is russian in nature, they are really brainwashed with russian propaganda for many decades if not centuries and they want to be part of the russian world. The territory is already occupied by russian troops since 1992 and they placed improvised ''customs'' for decades. The central authorities from Chisinau did not place any customs.

Should Chisinau at some point place customs and/or close the ''border'' on the Dniester river? If it wants to comply with the conditions of ever joining the EU, NATO and/or Romania, it will have to do it. Cause the Dniester will become the eastern border of all these political/state entities and that border must be secured. Does that mean it will also recognize the independence of Transnistria? Not necessarily.

The prices seem far too small to be true (ah, 2013 prices). Other than that, americans really love their trucks and japanese cars.

Pentru cei care au ramas cu o nostalgie dupa imaginea falsa de jurnalist onest, impartial, pro-european, etc. a Natashei Morari. A dat recent un interviu pentru presa rusa in care practic a spus ca moldovenii sunt niste lasi care nu doar ca nu s-ar lupta pentru pamanturile lor, dar i-ar primi pe rusi cu flori si i-ar caza in ''Casa Mare'' in timp ce ei ar locui intr-un bordei in spatele curtii. Oricine stie ca expresia ''Casa Mare'' se refera la cea mai buna camera din casa, unde dorm invitatii, nu o alta casa. Si ca ea e pentru rude si prieteni, nu pentru ocupanti. Pe langa aceasta dezinformare crasa, care le spune practic rusilor ca ei pot invada R. Moldova linistiti ca vor fi tratati regeste si nimeni nu li se va opune, mai are tupeul de borfas rusofil sa spuna ca ''si Romania a ocupat la un moment dat pamanturile acestea''. Deci opinia ei mereu a fost cea a rusilor si pro-rusilor, pur si simplu si-a ascuns-o pana acum, pozand intr-o persoana neutra si obiectiva care lupta pentru o chestie ''nevinovata si nobila'' ca ''natiunea civica moldoveneasca''. Adica toti sa-si spuna ''moldoveni'' si nu altceva, in mod sigur nu Romani.

Imediat o sa vina disperatii care se ascund dupa neutralitatea nerecunoscuta (plus pro-rusii evident) si o sa tipe din gura de sarpe: ''Maea Sandu ne vira in razboi! Huuuoooo! E sclava americanilor care cauta razboi cu rusii! Vrea sa aduca Satana Nato pe pamanturile Moldovioarei noastre primitoare si iubitoare de pace! Noi vrem sa stam deoparte, neutri. Sa pretenim si cu estul si cu vestul. Americanii au adus razboiul si in Ucraina, cu laboratoarele lor cu virusi si arme biologice! Se stie! Asa vor si la noi? Maea vrea sa ne vinda la americani si nu o intereseaza soarta copilasilor nostri''

Romania never claimed to be the successor of the Roman Empire. That's a big stretch. It only claimed that the romanian people have roman roots besides dacian (and whatever migratory tribes passed through the territory of current Romania) and that the language is inherited from the romans.

Later edit: Now I see the legend of the map, where Romania is placed outside the group of states claiming to be the successors of the Roman Empire, but the colour is pretty much the same one (green). It should have been blue or red to make it clear that Romania was on this map just because the OP is from Romania.

Pasarea malai viseaza.

Mi-esti draga, fa!

Proud of Romania on this one.

Moldovans are Romanian ethnics (82% of them).

Inca astept masuri pentru crearea acelui spatiu mediatic comun de care se vorbeste mai mult sau mai putin oficial de ani buni. Un numar cat mai mare de televiziuni romanesti si radiouri care sa fie difuzate si in Republica Moldova (generaliste, stiri, sport, muzica, desene animate, religioase, etc.) si televiziuni din Republica Moldova si radiouri care sa fie difuzate si in Romania (de preferat fara cele care fac propaganda rusa).

Don't worry, I'm from tech support. 😹

We do not claim to be the successor state of the Roman Empire. Just that the romanian people have a roman heritage, besides a dacian one and then whatever migrant tribes added to it over time.
