I live there in Moldova, and the situation was more bad before 2001. In 2001 the budget of Republic Moldova was crashed. In country was no money. Before 2001 here was no electricity(it was 2 hours per day!) Before 2001 no one was paid for this job, they just receive some products per mounth what was eq. of 50$ what it was relly nothing. I t was hard times before 2001. In 2001 the electricity was come back, the salty(small but it is money after all) was begin to be paid. I dont now Douglas who are you and what are you but you dont now to much about politic from Moldova, and you will see the real truth… I hate people who just say words… do you think Moldova have a solution for thix this? Moldova is to small and has a crashed economy and cant make a to big progress in this future… This is not about the leader this is about people mentality. But wtf? who care about my country.. it is easy to speak about it… when you have not done anyting for it.

Making Moldova’s economy worse is a truly remarkable achievement.

H. Prust, at the beginning Voronin was pro-Russian,then he had his conflicts with Moscow and got a bit closer to Romania and the EU. When Russia imposed trade sanctions on Moldova he was friendly with Romania, and Romania became the first destinations for Moldovan exports (more than 20% or their total exports).
Then he returned to his protectors in Moscow and and thus Romania became the ‘imperialist nation’ and the “last empire in Europe”.

Nice post Douglas. It’s not clear who will run things in Chisinau but it would be good not to have him as the (informal) leader of the neighboring country.
He should be judged for the measures he took in April; 3 young people were killed in policy custody while hundreds of others were severely beaten.
He is a mean, despicable man, a true Homo Sovieticus.

if Voronin was always so pro- Russian why Moldova then joined the notorious GUAM and Russia imposed trade sanctions? seriously I think Russia doesn’t really care who will govern Moldova.

I’d say not, but it’s certainly debatable.

Maybe this topic deserves a post of its own…
