      if Moldova enter in EU , people from there will emigrate to the West not to Romania...(most of them will be like romanians in 2007 when the country entered EU, that means = massive migration in West) ...as romanian i know they were our people until 1940, but the current population of Moldova is in "soviet- USSR" mindset in majority! (60%) , incompatible with the current mindset of romanians (pro-West) , recent was an exit poll (before invasion of Russia in Ukraine) and they were asked if they want to reunite with Romania , 60% said NO! they want with Russia ! but that was BEFORE invasion of Russia in Ukraine , as romanian i don't want "russian" mindset inside Romania , will be a major problem for current Romania

      As a Romanian, I say NO to unification. We don't need a Russian minority added to our country. It would be reason for endless conflict. They would refuse to integrate and learn the language. They would demand schools in the Russian language. They would have strong connections to Russia. They would change the political climate. Our border would be to close to Russia.
      If our non-Russian Moldovan brothers want to move to Romania they are welcome! But no unification.

    Ppl outside the area may not realize yet what the Soviets did in Moldova/Basarabia with the "Moldovan" language that was supposedly different language than Romanian. It's very easy to explain : It's like claiming that Austrians don't speak German language but "Austrian" language . Yes they switched to Cyrillic alphabet so it would be easier to fool everyone, but today you can just open Google Translate... select translation from English to Romanian, and send that to a person from Republic of Moldova and he will read it in his native tongue ...no questions asked.
    As hard to believe it may be, they (the Russkiy mir/"Russian world" people) still claim to this day that Moldovan is a different language... lol.
    P.s. Romania didnt just gain independence from Ottomans from Russo Turkish war... but participated with massive contribution in Bulgaria to gain it, against the ottomans, where the Russian army was stuck.

      Carving out Transsilvania from Hungary was the similar crime. Punishing a colony for the crime commited their oppressor. Keeping Austria almost intact and tearing apart Hungary, their opressed colony. When Hungary tried to be independent from their opressor earlier in 1848 the same countries helped Austria who later created the Trianon pact. Probably the 1st and 2nd WW would not happen if Hungary won in 1848. Before that Hungary was the last defending line against many attackers from Asis who wanted to overrun Europe.

      @@LILEE376The German Science Society had some ethnic map prepared periodically since 1800. Vienna also had ethnic maps during the same period of time, with the same situation clearly presented. You can find them with ease on internet. All of these maps were showing that Székely (or Hungarians) were living in some limited areas, near mountains, where they had also the majority. Exactly where they are living nowadays. Two counties out of 12.
      The rest of Transylvania was populated by Romanians in an absolute majority. And the overall percentage was - during the time - at least 80% Romanians and 15% Hungarians. Nowadays Hungarians are more or less about 15% of the total population of Transylvania. Same way, Austro-Hungarian empire occupied Slovakia, but Hungarians were always maximum 15% of the overall population.
      This is how empires work. In 1918 you lost your empire.....and this was good for all. If - by absurd - you occupy Transylvania again, Hungarians will became a minority. Pay attention to what you want.
      Moreover, do not overestimate 1948. Hungary had a limited role in 1948 as well as in 1919. And the other statement "last defending line against many attackers from Asia who wanted to overrun Europe" is wrong again. All European nations fought against ottomans or other tribes including your ancestor's tribes. All coming from Asia, of course.

      @@Outcast100 That’s not entirely true. Territorial disputes aren’t a hindrance in joining the EU, so that’s a possibility for Moldova (which already is a candidate country). A territorial dispute in Moldova wouldn’t stop it from becoming NATO territory if Moldova reunited with the NATO country Romania since the latter already is in NATO. However, an independent Moldova won’t be able to join NATO for as long as there is a territorial dispute.
      A reunified Romania would currently mean Russian troops in NATO. So if Russia wants to avoid war with NATO, it would have to withdraw its troops from Transnistria.

      USSR killed and deported Moldovans from Moldovan SSR which affirmed Romanian identity. Simultaneously, they broadcasted on a daily basis a lot of lies, such as: ”Romanians were mean occupants, we came to free you up! Romanians are bad, but lucky you Moldovans - you are a different people!”
      In USSR normally other socialist countries literature (Bulgaria, Poland, East Germany, etc) could be bought. However, even socialist Romanian books / press were forbidden in Moldovan SSR, in spite (or rather due to) the greatest demand. USSR tried to severe all ties of East-Moldovans with Romania.
      That is why the USSR propaganda partially succeeded. Today 80% of population in R. Moldova are ethnic Romanians (”Moldovans”) but only 50% of them (40% of total population) supports re-unification with Romania.
      The good thing is the Soviet lying propaganda gradually washes out, the support for reunification slowly increases.

    I see many people give as reference many nations in Europe that are similar but not the same. It is not the case with Romania and Moldova. We are the same people. Historic Moldova united with Transilvania and Wallachia and formed Romania. The guy who formed the first union between Walachia and Moldova was originally from Moldova. His name is Alexandru Ioan Cuza. Historical Moldova's capitals are all located in Romania. All the important poets and writers were born in Western Moldova, aka Romania. All their culture, music and food is rooted in Romania. Their identity is ROMANIAN. Republic of Moldova is only the eastern part of the Historical Moldova who joined the other 2 romanian states to form Romania. My wife is from R.

    Pretty good video, I am a Romanian who is reads daily news on Moldova. However there's some things that you've got quite wrong
    First the pronunciation of Gagauzia. Rather than Gau-gezia, it'd be Gaga-uzia.
    You presented Moldova as trapped in severe crises but these are largely over. Prices and inflation have gone down and Moldova has already solved it's gas dependency on russia. Moldova does not export gas from russia anymore. It is in fact Romania the one that helped Moldova overcome the crisis.
    Transnistria is not an impediment for Moldova for becoming a full member of the EU. The EU has stated Moldova will be able to join following the Cyprus precedent.
    Lastly, you could've mentioned the unionist movement and the impact that war has had on it. Recently a poll indicated 40% of Moldovans supported unification of Romania while 50.3% opposed it. This is a two year high and the second biggest result ever since Moldovan independence, and it is bound to grow. All those russian strategies to undermine Moldova reduced unionist and pro-European sentiment in Moldova, but as Moldova has successfully combated these crises, both are going up again in the last recent months. To me it'd appear that unionism will keep growing, specially considering that Romanian is now the official language in the Moldovan constitution.

      In fact Russia followed the long term politics - the basis were established during the rule of Peter the Great. Russia wanted to arrive at the Danube's mouth, to control the Danube and in this way the Central Europe. During the last 200 years Russia had this obsession - to control the Danube. And the Black Sea. That's why they grab some land from Romania, and the land is the eastern half of Moldavia. Moreover, this time Russia broken Moldavia to pieces, transferring the southern part (Bugeac) and the northern part (half of historical Romanian province Bucovina including Cernauti city) to Ukraine, they transferred Transnistria to Moldavia, mixing the population an loosing the entity of the land. If you look at the map is easy to see that they cut completely the access of Moldova to the Danube river, in this way transforming Moldavia in a land locked "country". This is Russia.
      The biggest issue for Russia (regarding Danube) is that the whole Europe had a treaty which oblige everybody to use Sulina channel for transportation (the middle arm of the river).
      In order to keep Russia away from controlling the access, Romania spent a fortune to build the Danube - Black Sea channel, which connect the port of Constanta with the Danube river.
      This was Russia.....and still threat everyone, so this evil empire should disappear. Look at Georgia in 2008, Armenia and Azerbaidjan, Kazakhstan last year, Chechenia, Poland and Finland in WWII, Czechoslovakia in 1968 and Hungary in 1956, Moldavia starting from 1812, again in 1878, then after the WW I Moldavia reunited with Romania and we had a few conflict with the bolschevik troops, but Russia returned in June 1940 attacking and occupying the eastern part of Moldavia. Nothing to say about the disaster named communism and exported in the whole Eastern Europe.

    The background music could have been a notch quieter in some parts such that it wouldn't sound like it's competing with the narration for attention at the same time, as the narration should be the clearly louder one compared to background music. Best example of this problem is imo in the part describing the fall of Communist Romania.
    I must say the narration compared to the two prior videos sounds better such that I don't find myself being distracted by it, especially with the excellent music accompanying it.
    The audio transition to the sponsorship segment could have been more smooth, though I don't have much to comment about it besides that.

      personal experience doesn't exclude the existence of what we would call a problem. there have been multiple accounts of mistreatment of minorities in ukraine from different countries. leaving aside the notion that you are holding territories that other states also have a claim on, the least the ukrainians can do, is make sure they don't force the ukrainian identity on other ethnicities. to have ukrainian as mandatory curriculum is normal, since they live in ukraine and they absolutely will need to know the language. but other than that, they should probably also have curriculum in their own language, church in their own language, and press in their own language without "little green men" appearing out of nowhere to "pacify" them. which has happened many times over. to be completely fair, we are also probably guilty of romanianizing the ukrainians we had in our terittory, though i'm not sure what the scale of that was. from what i gather this was long ago. still, such practices are vilified in modern society. just saying.

    The statement that most Moldavians are not Romanians cause they identify themselves as Moldavians is misleading as all true Moldavians are Romanians as well and the answer you get depends greatly on how you put the question.
    For example: I am a Romanian from what was the medieval Romanian kingdom of Wallachia before it united with Romanian medieval kingdoms of Moldova and Transylvania and modern day Romania was formed. This Union was done willingly as we lived on these lands from the beginning of humanity (oldest human remains in Europe were found in Romania) and always had one culture, language and faith; even though many empires tried to absorb or replace us. During the ancient times we were also united under the Kingdom of Dacia until we were forcedly split by attacks of migratory people from all sides. Was chaos everywhere during the Dark ages.
    So if you ask me if I am Wallachian I will say yes. That doesn't mean I want to say I am just Wallachian and not Romanian. Same with Moldavian people. When they say they are Moldavians they mean Romanian people from what was the Kingdom of Moldavia

    As a Transilvanian who is used to our local historic multi-ethnic society, I welcome reunification with Moldova, but for some people in the more mono-ethnic South of Romania it will be a bit difficult to adapt to that. Reunification will definitively make Romania more multi-ethnic than it is now.

    The Russification of Bessarabia started in 1812 after the annexation of Bessarabia by the tsarist Russian empire.
    Part of it was the transplantion of Gaugasians from Bulgaria to Bessarabia and the removal of Romanians/Moldovans , Bulgarians and Turks and Tatars from Bugeac /Budzak who were replaced with Ucrainians & Russians.

    There is a need for some clarifications:
    - Southern Dobrogea, known as "Cadrilater" in Romanian (from Latin "quadrilater" meaning "quadrangle") was illegally annexed by Romania in 1913.
    - Northern Bucovina had a Romanian minority: it was mainly inhabited by Ukrainians.
    - For the same reasons as Bucovina, Banat was divided between Romania and Serbia and Hungary.
    - Bessarabia was part of the kingdom of Moldavia until 1812 and for more than a century, the czarist empire tried to colonize it; it was not a Russian province.
    - Transnistria (meaning "beyond Dnister" in Latin) was a Romanian majority territory, until 1792 when it was occupied by Russians. It was Dacian in antiquity, the population being called Tyragetae, the Getaes of Tyras (today's Tiraspol) - Getae is the Greek name for Dacians.
    - Gagauzia has a Christian Turkish population that forgot its language, history and allegiances, because of Russian propaganda in the media and during USSR. It was historically part of Bessarabia, but it does not have a Romanian majority population. It has autonomy in the Republic of Moldavia and extra powers in the Moldavian parliament that is well deserved, but the Russian Federation is using this status to block any Westward or towards Romania moves in Chisinau for the whole country. This region is nowadays more pro-Russian than Transnistria.
    - Last, but not least, Transylvania (from the Latin "trans silvania" - the country beyound the woods) was always in majority Dacian or Romanian and was illegally annexed by Hungary. Around the year 1000, after failing to advance in the Western Europe, the Magyars started to attack Transylvania to extend their territories and in 200 years the annexation was complete. In the next 600 years Transylvania was either under Hungarian, or quasi-independent, or under Austrian-Hungarian, or Ottoman empire rule. In all this time, the majority of the population was the unrecognized nation of Romanians. They became recognized in 1848 following the revolt of 1848 in all Europe. In 1918 the majority got what was lawfully its own: the inhabited territory.
    In conclusion, besides the Southern Dobrogea and Northern Bucovina, the Greater Romania was in its lawful boundaries. Even the Southern Bessarabia, which now is part of Ukraine was lawfully part of Romania and Bessarabia was never lawfully Russian.

Iar daca Cadrilaterul a fost "anexat ilegal" (si nu o sa intru in detalii legate de razboiaele balcanice si populatiile romanesti sud-dunarene si drepturile sau non-drepturile lor) la fel de bine poti discuta despre cat de romaneasca era Dobrogea cand a fost alipita Regatului. / You shoud do some more research on the historic demographics of North Bukowina.

    • @sticlavoda5632
      @sticlavoda5632 Год назад +9

      This "analysis" or "clarification" is neither analytical nor clear.
      The statement that the Cadrilater "was illegally annexed by Romania in 1913" is wrongful. Southern Dobruja was annexed by Romania in the aftermath of the Second Balkan War, ended by the Treaty of Bucharest (1913). Within this treaty was outlined the secession of the region to victorious Romania, an entirely lawful act. Bulgaria, the losing faction of the war, had waged conflict against Serbia, Montenegro, Greece. Romania and the Ottoman Empire (conflict with the latter being mediated following the 1913 Treaty of Constantinople). It was a reprehensible loss for the Bulgarians, but not an unlawful one. They were the aggressors invading their neighboring allies and, in the case of Romania, perpetuating diplomatic squabbles over the Northern Dobruja region.
      Bukovina had been a Romanian territory, in terms of history and ethnic distribution, up until colonial settlement following the annexation of the territory by the Habsburgs in 1775 (following the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca, end to a Russo-Turkish war neither Austria nor Moldavia had ever fought in or mediated). Even with the context of this annexation, Bukovinian populations retained a Romanian relative majority. The Austrian Empire had first occupied the territory in October 1774. Following the First Partition of Poland in 1772, they had claimed that Bukovina was needed to construct a road between Galicia and Transylvania. Moldavia at that time was one of the two Romanian governed nations alongside Wallachia which would - between the first common quasi-constitution of the "Regulamentul Organic", the revolutions in all Romanian land of 1848 and the first constitution adopted in 1866 - proclaim the formation of the unitary Romanian state, with the goal of uniting with Transylvanian and Bukovinian aspirations at the formation of a "Western" Romanian Kingdom within a federalized Austrian Empire. If we take this context into account, then we can see that within the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Duchy of Bukovina and representatives comprising the High National Romanian Council of Transylvania united with Romania, the latter forming the Directing Council of Transylvania, Banat and the Romanian Lands in Hungary. Northern Bukovina, as apart of the Duchy, had returned to Romanian territorial administration. It's partition came about following the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina as a result of an ultimatum by the Soviet Union to Romania on June 26, 1940, that threatened the use of force. This had been apart of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and involved the illegal occupation of the Hertsa region and the Danube islands.
      Thus, from previous context, we can understand that the partition of Banat had come amidst the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (as it had been an Imperial holding) and it's division had been agreed upon and reflected respective interests.
      Transnistria was not a Romanian territory, it never was apart from a military occupation following WWII. From a historic point of view and a demographic point of view the territory had always been outside the reach of the Romanized populations (that would eventually comprise the Romanian nation) which at no point corresponded with the Dacian Kingdom at it's height, but rather with the provinces of Roman Dacia, Moesia Inferior and to a certain extent Moesia Superior.
      As for Transylvania, the Latin name is misleading as it comes from a Hungarian translation and was used by Hungary since Latin (the ecclesiastical language of the Western Church) had been used as administrative and literary language. Also, it's territory had become a Hungarian realm following a war waged against the First Bulgarian Empire, and was by no means "illegally" occupied, as such terminology does not apply to the 10th and 11th centuries when this process gradually took place. Also, recognition of Romanians did not precisely follow the revolutions of 1848, and was in fact also tied with the gradual process enforced by Austria trough which the Romanians had become converted to the Greco-Catholic faith in Transylvania.

    It is worth noting that half of the Moldovan region is in the Romanian part. Moldova as a region, whether or not it is part of Romania, was artificially divided by the Soviet Union. Having visited Romania twice and knowing a bit of history, especially in the context of the Middle Ages, I know that Moldova is a region significantly different from the rest of Romania in many respects and for centuries, thanks to its hospodars, it has maintained its political identity. Crossing the border of the Carpathians, you have the feeling of crossing the border between the east and the west. The definitely different architecture, landscape and clothes catch your eye immediately. I think that Romania has a good reason to strengthen ties with Moldova, but it should be up to the Moldovans to have the final word. It will be best if it takes place in an atmosphere of peace after the end of the war in Ukraine and preferably getting rid of the problem of Transnistria, which is a Russian cancer on Moldova's organism. After Moldova's integration with the European Union, there will be no barriers between Moldova and Romania anyway.

      No, not really. They are considered peacekeepers, any attack on them is basically an invasion of a sovereign country, Moldova.

    Moldova and Ukraine will not enter the EU any time soon. Even if by some miracle this happens, it is not equivalent to o a reunification. I am Romanian and I do not consider myself united with Hungary and Bulgaria, for example. You also left out the significantly aspect of denationalization implemented by the Ukrainians in the areas inhabited by Romanians.

    Probably not. I've seen no Moldovan poll to show indicate majority support for unification. However, this war will likely result in the end of Transnistria as an quasi-independent statelet. Ukraine could probably easily move into the region, capture 2000 Russian troops, and seize the ammunition depots relatively easily. More likely, Russian money will dry up and Transnistria will be forced to join the 21st century.

    Haven’t watched it all yet, but fully reuniting Greater Romania is practically impossible. Not only would it require reunification with Moldova, which would be its own hurdle, it would also require the cessation of land from both Ukraine and Bulgaria, the latter being a fellow EU and NATO member and the former being a prospective member of both. No country is willing to give up land, citizens, and resources to another for the sake of better borders, and most countries can’t or won’t fight for them. National reunifications across the world are pleasant fantasies, but no government would willingly sign itself out of existence.

We certainly do not want conflicts and do not want lands which are not inhabited by our own people, forcibly alienated by USSR. I refer to the spirit of Resolution 148 of the US Senate, 1991.
