Looks beautiful, but is racism a big problem in this country and against whom it goes ? Because I'm dark-skinned and would love to visit Moldova but I'm not sure if it's a good idea...
@@bibi_ck3943 Im not Moldovan im Romanian. So very similar. In Romania we really arent racist and if we are its the joking stupid racism that old people have. If you go in the city noone is even going to know, but if you go in the country side here people might look at you funny if your African American just because there it is really rare to see an African American. If you are just darker skinned noones going to care. This ofcourse is Romania doh so I assume Moldova would be similar.
@@bibi_ck3943 should be alright , I'm Romanian too so I can only give my opinion about Romania but I assume it's the same in Moldova maybe even more amplified, in Romania we don't really see dark skinned people or Asians so racism is not a thing , but people are gonna look at you kinda weird , probably because they are surprised to see a foreigner in their country, depending on the person they would actually be extremely excited to see a black man and even guide you if you need help

@@bogdanandries6335 Following this logic, is better to learn Romanian, because Romania is the greatest trade partner of R. Moldova : )) Then, English - because E.U. is really great (like 68% of Moldova's exports), while CSI (including Russia) is at some 15%. However, in the end any foreign language is a plus. When I said "learn business" I meant learn to do business. Eventually online. Sell everywhere. Be active ;)
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.
Romanians still had a relative majority in Transnitria after WW1-WW2 and the current borders are the ethnic borders a bit biased towards Ukraine in north and south and a bit biased towards Moldova in Transnistria. So fair enough for the standards of USSR.
@@moygospodin91 You know what, why don't you say anything about the lands that were gifted to Ukraine from Moldova? We got the shitty Transnistria which we did not even want. As for Romania, the avarage salary is 3 times bigger than in Ukraine. I hope your bankrupt country will never join the European Union and starve away from its own poverty and underdevelopment.
I have to wait a little longer for Romania, still, but I was equally excited about this video and I felt like my own country had been discussed, especially since I'm from the Moldova region of Romania. It's only a few days since I've been to Chişinău for the first time and I'm planning to go there more often. Romania and Moldova are family, no matter how much the russians will try to separate us. 100 years since unification and in the hope we'll be reunited again, I salute you, my brothers from beyond the Prut! Vă iubesc, frați moldoveni!
I know. Some of them are still with Russia and take their side, but from all I've seen and heard, more and more of them are starting to understand that we are one blood. :)
I am from Moldova, and I want to thank you for this video. This is one of the, if not, the best videos I have seen related to my country. You treated it with respect, no stupid jokes, so THANK YOU ! Just a little thing though. Gagauzia, who's supposed to talk their local language, doesn't. They speak Russian. Maybe 1-2% of the population will actually talk Gagauz, but as of the rest, it's Russian all the way through. Besides that, awesome job !
Actually that's not true about gagauz language - I've grown up in a Gagauz village, and I can confirm that basically everyone speaks Russian, very little people speak moldavian (Or romanian) but for sure at least 35/40% speaks gagauz, especially in villages, it does not really apply for Comrat.
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. Otherwise it’s just nonsense.
@@danieeeeelSBD lol:)) you are so wrong. Each orthodox country got it's own patriarch (the Pope it's also a patriarch but he is for the whole catholic church)
Moldova became a soviet republic because USSR took it from Romania just before WW2. That is why Romania joined the Axis in the beginning, to try to get it back ... oh yeah .. and the fact Moldovians are orthodox has little to do with Russia and way more to do with emperor Constantin and the Holy Eastern Roman Empire ..
As a fellow moldovian, i am suffering because of how manipulative and possessive Russia is to Moldova and how it's trying to destroy its culture and language and transform it into Russia's personal land. Meanwhile , here we are crying for our family- Romania. And its really sad, seeing how Romania fought and gave up so much for us , but in the end, Russia is still holding our country in a leash. We thank romanians for not giving up on us, we love them and strive to be one again.

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
I'm afraid they don't talk so much yet about East Europe in West Europe (I'm Spanish). However, I'm proud to be able to name today all the European countries ^-^ (ApartfromtheGeorgiazonecoughcough but almost there)
Moldova is literally Romania’s girlfriend who is in some sort of trouble like having 2 separatist troublesome children but even then Moldova has a lot of character and has a lot of personalities and just is loved by a lot. Seriously.
@@HarrisTsang i don't know if you example is so accurate because half of Moldova is still in Romania. When the russians conquered they didn't conquered it all. That's why i prefer calling it Republic of Moldova, to distinguish it from the Moldova in Romania. I woudn't say is Romania's girlfriend unless a girlfriend can be split in two.

Green Cappy Никто не знает Молдову. Я из Тирасполя, так что я знаю, что там происходит. Скажу вам сразу, что без Кишинева, Приднестровье никогда не справится. 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.
@@alext1819 The only organ to interpret the constitution is the Constitutional Court, and not Alex Tibuleac. We all know that the Constitutional Court said - it's romanian.

Alex Tibuleac You have no idea what is written in your own constitution (official language of Moldova: Romanian) and you come here to discuss about language and history?! I understand that you been brainwashed by Soviet propaganda but at least stay quiet and don’t get in the discussion if you don’t know the facts! Tomorrow you gone tell me maybe that there is Austrian language or Mexican language?!
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.
@Hungary #1 I'm european as well and I live in Romania...so we effectively live in the same place given Transylvania is part of greater Romania... 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
@@Bobskiboy85 The thing is, itțs not even going as far back as Dacia that we can say Transylvania was a romanian teritory. Wallachia and Moldavia fought succesfully for independence against the hungarians, however, the Transylvanians did not, and the romanians there just became a opressed majority.
Eastern Latino is the best term I’ve ever heard someone use to describe Moldova 😂 You got everything right, except for one little thing, the population. People are leaving the country at very fast rates. It’s highly unlikely there are 3 million people left, since official numbers are altered and outdated. Thank you for not saying we speak Moldovan. Thank you!!!
My sister left 15 years ago, yet she still counts as a resident. Same for me and my wife. It's very hard, and there's a lot of bureaucracy to unregister yourself as a resident. 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. Most of them in Italy (can't spend a day without meeting one). Half of my school mates left. France, Germany, USA, Canada, Russia, Dubai, Romania.
Great video. I'm moldavian and it was really funny see someone else remembering of the existence of such a small country. I laugh a lot while you're spelling our names, you were pretty close actually, congrats for that. Tou probably won't read that, but even like that, thank you very much and keep with the great work
I'm Moldovan and you did a good job describing my country! Funny fact: when I was in Cuba on vacay I told a taxidriver I was from Moldova. He said he had been to Moldova when studing in Belarus during sovjet times! That blew my mind :)
I was born and raised in Moldova and to be honest i enjoyed your video A LOT. It even taught me things i didn't know about my country. THANK YOUUUU ❤🇲🇩
By the way, apparantly one million Moldovans have dual citizenship. There is a law in Romania that allows them to 're-gain' Romanian citizenship if they can prove they have ancestors born in Greater Romania. 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 :) Basarabia pamant romanesc!
one million Moldovans have dual citizenship just for the chance to work in EU countries. They don't give a s***t on history, "Greater Romania" and any other things like that. Meantime, all other Moldovans live and work in Russia :)
@SeYi1223 O-Zone were born in Moldova, but they were living in Romania for a few years when they released Dragostea din tei. They are both Moldovan and Romanian.
Transnistria: "Russia thank you for supporting my independence!" Russia: "Uh, who are you again?" Transnistria: "I'm Transnistria!" Russia: "Ok Transnistria I'm happy to support.... wait a second.... TRANSnistria? *TRANSGAY DETECTED* "
You have Stefan statue. The Stefan is an romanian simbol. Moldova is a part of Romania. So you can not be transnistrian with romanian history and language. You are depported here by russians. 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.
I visited Moldova one month ago and I was so surprised by the kindness of people there (and the fact that everything is SO CHEAP). We also spent two days in Transnistria. You really feel in a parallel universe. Of course same thing for Moldova: great people and great (cheap) food. I have to say that to get into Transnistria was not that hard, it just took five minutes at the border. Ukrainian border guards were much stricter when we tried to get into Ukraine..
The successor of Moldova from EU4 is the part that joined Wallachia in 1859 to form the United Principalities. The present day "Moldova" is just the part that was stolen from Moldova in 1812 by the Russians - Bessarabia.
he's russian though, and probably can't speak romanian, at least he never talked in romanins in the interviews. You know, one of those russians, that live sourrounded by moldovans and refuses to speak the language and yells "Putin please help, we are opressed, send the army"
Good job dude! I'm from Moldova and I really enjoyed your video, that's interesting even for me, because I'm curious what others think about this country. So, keep up good work!
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 🇷🇴🇲🇩!!!!!!
Sylvio Brasil the moldovan language does not exist. It was an artificial invented language by the soviets in order to separate us from the rest of Romanians. We speak Romanian in Republic of Moldova
I have met others who know information like that. Just not a whole lot. But, they know population data, trivia and economics of other countries. It's just Moldova does not come up in the interest of most people. It actually doesn't come up much at all. Ya never see it in the news.

Moldova became "russified" way before joining the Soviet Union,the historical region of Bessarabia was ceded to the Russian Empire somewhere in the beginning of the 19th century,the region was previously under Ottoman rule,the event was followed many denationalization reforms and some more history stuff. Just a context to the the deep and much more complex Moldo-Russian relationship. As a Moldovan I can definitely claim that the video is surprisingly accurate and the representation is just right (the pronunciation was a little off,but I guess that's fair).
mermaidsknees How is life in Moldova like, where should I go if I visit? :) There have been some articles suggesting that work emigration of Moldovans to Western Europe is a big problem, is this accurate, or is this an exaggeration? And what do Moldovans think about the relations to the EU? Greetings to Moldova from Switzerland 🇲🇩 🇨🇭
...ceded,by the Ottoman Empire as it was a result of the Treaty of Bucharest,annexation would presume forcible acquisition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Bucharest_(1812) Get lost.
Hey there,I would only recommend you visit Moldova as a stop on your way somewhere else as I personally don't see a lot of attractions AND most of them were actually mentioned in the video.Foreigners that occasionally spawn in the region as far as my experience goes say they had a good time mostly because of the people.So ya,if you're gonna roam around Chisinau,find some good company to show you around the parks,museums and cafes.I'd recommend Funky Mamaliga Hostel if you have to stay somewhere,the atmosphere is great,they have guided tours and THE PEOPLE out there are totally worth it. For Moldavian traditional food go to La Placinte. On a more negative note,the articles didn't lie,the migration does represent a real problem as pretty much everyone who has the opportunity to leave for a job or studies totally does so.The destinations are pretty varied but Western Europe is the most popular one as it's the most accessible and appealing.This means that middle-aged people will leave their families or leave with their families to pursue a better life somewhere else.Those who go alone often leave behind kids that are taken care of by other family members,and it's not a rare phenomenon that a child is raised completely by his grandparents or one of his grandparents because his parents are trying to save for a living somewhere and only send monthly financial support.Imho kinda sad. Simultaneously,younger people pursue better quality studies which offer more potential career opportunities,if you look at the uni rankings,well,you'll see what I'm talking about,it's not THAT BAD but if there's an alternative,one will go for the alternative. The population dropped by nearly a million in the last twenty years,may not sound like a lot but there's like 3.5M of us now,so you can kinda feel it.Even on a personal level,people you know will start vanishing noticeably as soon as you're done with high-school. Link for some numbers/statistics: statbank.statistica.md/pxweb/pxweb/en/20%20Populatia%20si%20procesele%20demografice/20%20Populatia%20si%20procesele%20demografice__POP010/?rxid=b2ff27d7-0b96-43c9-934b-42e1a2a9a774 Moldovans have split their opinions about the EU,there's the pro-Russian part of population that stands pretty steadily against it and then there's also the more pro-EU part,it's hard to estimate which one is the majority but our current president is pro-Russia(but his election is said to be somewhat controversial and fraudulent,so idk ).It might be possible that we join the EU in the next like *100* years,maybe more,dunno,I'm just kidding.
I'm so happy about the end of your video "Romania and Moldova are not even friends, they are family". You nailed it! Alas, as a Romanian I feel that Romania and Moldova are more than family: Romania is a body that it's missing a limb: (eastern) Moldova!
As a Moldovan i know where the missing limb went, eaten and annexed by Romania. Would you like to return Western Moldova, talhari ? Ati furat o jumatate de Moldova, ati venit ca ocupanti cu fascisti in Razboiul Mondial ! Fratii dragi, nu va este rusine ? Pacat cu asa "familie" nici dusmani nu trebuie
Return Moldova's missing limb you stolen - Western Moldova. Now you want another one ? Fine and good luck with that but only after Democratic referendum. That you will never win, thankfully only around 10% of population are traitors, Unionisti scuipati. Not a chance ! The impudence to talk about missing limb, after stealing and annexing half of Moldova ! Unbelievable !
Da ce nu-ti place adevarul ? Nu aveti nici un pic de rusine. Bataie de joc din noi Moldoveni, ati luat tara noastra si acuma chiar si limba vreti ?! Limba noastra MOLDOVENEASCA ! Limba vorbita de Stefan cel Mare ! Chiar si aicea scuipati. Nici un respect, asa nu se face intr-o familie, mai omule. Am citit comentarii voastre sub video ista si imi pare rau, cit gunoi si lipsa de respect catre Moldoveni. Typical comenti "Basarabia = pamint Romanesc" , Moldovans speak Romanian, Moldovans are Romanians. Demonstratia perfecta of who is who ... Ignoranta extraordinara si lipsa de educatie istorica
Brilliant. Thank you for a surprisingly accurate presentation. Note to Barbs: in pronouncing Chisinău, take queue from Noah's pronunciation of plăcinte (very good job in pronunciation across the board), this is how ă should be pronounced :). Keep up the great work!
My neighbors are Romanian (we all live in Missouri now) and they had their aunt and uncle living with them and their aunt and uncle only spoke Romanian, but I had taken 2 years of Latin so I understood the language well enough to get the basic meanings. I love language and how it can span cultures even if the languages aren't exactly the same!
That "T" with a comma underneath is pronounced "ts" or "tz" and the "S" with a comma underneath is pronounced "sh". Get it right, for the Romania episode. :)
Can we at least appreciate that he even did a geography epsiode about Moldova? Most people don't even know where that is, let alone their language's pronunciation rules.
Barb is a bit inconsistent when it comes to language pronounciations. Sometimes for some languages he goes deep with it, but sometimes he's like meh not gonna try this one.

Then, English - because E.U. is really great (like 68% of Moldova's exports), while CSI (including Russia) is at some 15%.
However, in the end any foreign language is a plus.

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.

Romanians still had a relative majority in Transnitria after WW1-WW2 and the current borders are the ethnic borders a bit biased towards Ukraine in north and south and a bit biased towards Moldova in Transnistria. So fair enough for the standards of USSR.

I have to wait a little longer for Romania, still, but I was equally excited about this video and I felt like my own country had been discussed, especially since I'm from the Moldova region of Romania. It's only a few days since I've been to Chişinău for the first time and I'm planning to go there more often.

Not so long ago, there was a discussion about the unification, but Moldova turned it down.
I know. Some of them are still with Russia and take their side, but from all I've seen and heard, more and more of them are starting to understand that we are one blood. :)

I am from Moldova, and I want to thank you for this video. This is one of the, if not, the best videos I have seen related to my country. You treated it with respect, no stupid jokes, so THANK YOU !
Just a little thing though. Gagauzia, who's supposed to talk their local language, doesn't. They speak Russian. Maybe 1-2% of the population will actually talk Gagauz, but as of the rest, it's Russian all the way through.
Besides that, awesome job !
Actually that's not true about gagauz language - I've grown up in a Gagauz village, and I can confirm that basically everyone speaks Russian, very little people speak moldavian (Or romanian) but for sure at least 35/40% speaks gagauz, especially in villages, it does not really apply for Comrat.
tu eşti correct
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. Otherwise it’s just nonsense.
eu nis nam stiut ca gagauzia inca era cv
I am Gagauz, and that’s really true. We actually speak Russian and Gagauzian, most of course Russian, and that’s really sad.

Moldova became a soviet republic because USSR took it from Romania just before WW2. That is why Romania joined the Axis in the beginning, to try to get it back ... oh yeah .. and the fact Moldovians are orthodox has little to do with Russia and way more to do with emperor Constantin and the Holy Eastern Roman Empire ..
We had to agree on giving up a part of Transylvania to Hungary to get Moldova back
As a fellow moldovian, i am suffering because of how manipulative and possessive Russia is to Moldova and how it's trying to destroy its culture and language and transform it into Russia's personal land. Meanwhile , here we are crying for our family- Romania. And its really sad, seeing how Romania fought and gave up so much for us , but in the end, Russia is still holding our country in a leash. We thank romanians for not giving up on us, we love them and strive to be one again.

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
Their 2018 entry was the best

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.
@Hungary #1 I'm european as well and I live in Romania...so we effectively live in the same place given Transylvania is part of greater Romania... 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 got everything right, except for one little thing, the population. People are leaving the country at very fast rates. It’s highly unlikely there are 3 million people left, since official numbers are altered and outdated.
Thank you for not saying we speak Moldovan. Thank you!!!
My sister left 15 years ago, yet she still counts as a resident. Same for me and my wife. It's very hard, and there's a lot of bureaucracy to unregister yourself as a resident. 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. Most of them in Italy (can't spend a day without meeting one). Half of my school mates left. France, Germany, USA, Canada, Russia, Dubai, Romania.

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 🇷🇴🇲🇩!!!!!!
The moldovan language are exactely the same as romania?
Sylvio Brasil the moldovan language does not exist. It was an artificial invented language by the soviets in order to separate us from the rest of Romanians. We speak Romanian in Republic of Moldova

I have met others who know information like that. Just not a whole lot. But, they know population data, trivia and economics of other countries. It's just Moldova does not come up in the interest of most people. It actually doesn't come up much at all. Ya never see it in the news.
Well most americans don't know geography. Since you are watching this channel you know much more geography than average american.

At 8:55 I'm pretty sure the Romanian people where Orthodox long before Russia was...
It's almost like there's a Romanian Orthodox Church...
Saint Andrew even stayed in Romania and converted the Romanians to Orthodox Christianity .

Hi, Moldovan here. Apart from Barby's atrocious pronunciation, the video was for the most part pretty accurate. Well done!
Hi, been in Chisnau,Cricova,Cornest and Mircest and Ungheni-then to Romania. Nice country, I like how Chisnau is clean and big roads with few vehicles
That's... not how I would describe Chisinau, but I'm glad you liked it :)

The Romanians and the Moldovans are THE SAME. The same language, the same folklore, the same hora, the same sarmale the same mamaliga, the same miorita, the same martisor, the same national costume.
Aceeași Mărie, da' cu altă pălărie.
@Ştefan Amarfii Aici ai dreptate din pacate. Cei 200 de ani de asuprire Rusa a facut Basarabia sa fie cea mai saraca regiune din Europa, dar moldovenii tot vor cu Rusia. Cu cat oamenii sunt mai saraci cu atat mai usor de manipulat.
@@tepesobrejac4360 Da la Moldoveni Rusia le o dat cumva bani, mâncare sau altceva? Tot săraci sunt. Fără sa jignesc Moldovenii ca sunt frații noștri dar ma inervează ca țin cu Rusii. Sau vorba de independenta. Și alt ceva.
Din greșeală am adăugat și alt ceva
@@alexandrumocanu9243 cei care țin cu rușii sunt bătrânii si oamenii săraci spalati oe creier
In prezenf se observă influența României\Europei asupra gândirii tinerilor si chiar si a celor mai in vârstă care au inceput sa realizeze faptul ca suntem români chiar daca rusii au incercat foarte mult sa ne convinga ca suntem MOLDOVENI iar românii sunt cei mai rai

I was so ready to bring up Moldova's epic Eurovision entries, but I'm stoked you did it in the video!
love to romania and moldova from bulgaria
Hi, brother!
Moldova became "russified" way before joining the Soviet Union,the historical region of Bessarabia was ceded to the Russian Empire somewhere in the beginning of the 19th century,the region was previously under Ottoman rule,the event was followed many denationalization reforms and some more history stuff.
Just a context to the the deep and much more complex Moldo-Russian relationship.
As a Moldovan I can definitely claim that the video is surprisingly accurate and the representation is just right (the pronunciation was a little off,but I guess that's fair).
mermaidsknees not ceded but annexed...
mermaidsknees How is life in Moldova like, where should I go if I visit? :)
There have been some articles suggesting that work emigration of Moldovans to Western Europe is a big problem, is this accurate, or is this an exaggeration? And what do Moldovans think about the relations to the EU?
Greetings to Moldova from Switzerland 🇲🇩 🇨🇭
...ceded,by the Ottoman Empire as it was a result of the Treaty of Bucharest,annexation would presume forcible acquisition.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Bucharest_(1812)
Get lost.
Hey there,I would only recommend you visit Moldova as a stop on your way somewhere else as I personally don't see a lot of attractions AND most of them were actually mentioned in the video.Foreigners that occasionally spawn in the region as far as my experience goes say they had a good time mostly because of the people.So ya,if you're gonna roam around Chisinau,find some good company to show you around the parks,museums and cafes.I'd recommend Funky Mamaliga Hostel if you have to stay somewhere,the atmosphere is great,they have guided tours and THE PEOPLE out there are totally worth it.
For Moldavian traditional food go to La Placinte.
On a more negative note,the articles didn't lie,the migration does represent a real problem as pretty much everyone who has the opportunity to leave for a job or studies totally does so.The destinations are pretty varied but Western Europe is the most popular one as it's the most accessible and appealing.This means that middle-aged people will leave their families or leave with their families to pursue a better life somewhere else.Those who go alone often leave behind kids that are taken care of by other family members,and it's not a rare phenomenon that a child is raised completely by his grandparents or one of his grandparents because his parents are trying to save for a living somewhere and only send monthly financial support.Imho kinda sad.
Simultaneously,younger people pursue better quality studies which offer more potential career opportunities,if you look at the uni rankings,well,you'll see what I'm talking about,it's not THAT BAD but if there's an alternative,one will go for the alternative.
The population dropped by nearly a million in the last twenty years,may not sound like a lot but there's like 3.5M of us now,so you can kinda feel it.Even on a personal level,people you know will start vanishing noticeably as soon as you're done with high-school.
Link for some numbers/statistics:

Moldovans have split their opinions about the EU,there's the pro-Russian part of population that stands pretty steadily against it and then there's also the more pro-EU part,it's hard to estimate which one is the majority but our current president is pro-Russia(but his election is said to be somewhat controversial and fraudulent,so idk ).It might be possible that we join the EU in the next like *100* years,maybe more,dunno,I'm just kidding.
mermaidsknees А что ты думаешь о русских/людях преднестровья/гагаузах/русском языке
I'm so happy about the end of your video "Romania and Moldova are not even friends, they are family". You nailed it! Alas, as a Romanian I feel that Romania and Moldova are more than family: Romania is a body that it's missing a limb: (eastern) Moldova!
I agree with you brother!
As a Moldovan i know where the missing limb went, eaten and annexed by Romania. Would you like to return Western Moldova, talhari ? Ati furat o jumatate de Moldova, ati venit ca ocupanti cu fascisti in Razboiul Mondial ! Fratii dragi, nu va este rusine ? Pacat cu asa "familie" nici dusmani nu trebuie
Return Moldova's missing limb you stolen - Western Moldova. Now you want another one ? Fine and good luck with that but only after Democratic referendum. That you will never win, thankfully only around 10% of population are traitors, Unionisti scuipati. Not a chance ! The impudence to talk about missing limb, after stealing and annexing half of Moldova ! Unbelievable !
@@Goorood Câtă ignoranță...
Da ce nu-ti place adevarul ? Nu aveti nici un pic de rusine. Bataie de joc din noi Moldoveni, ati luat tara noastra si acuma chiar si limba vreti ?! Limba noastra MOLDOVENEASCA ! Limba vorbita de Stefan cel Mare ! Chiar si aicea scuipati. Nici un respect, asa nu se face intr-o familie, mai omule. Am citit comentarii voastre sub video ista si imi pare rau, cit gunoi si lipsa de respect catre Moldoveni. Typical comenti "Basarabia = pamint Romanesc" , Moldovans speak Romanian, Moldovans are Romanians. Demonstratia perfecta of who is who ... Ignoranta extraordinara si lipsa de educatie istorica

Brilliant. Thank you for a surprisingly accurate presentation. Note to Barbs: in pronouncing Chisinău, take queue from Noah's pronunciation of plăcinte (very good job in pronunciation across the board), this is how ă should be pronounced :). Keep up the great work!
My neighbors are Romanian (we all live in Missouri now) and they had their aunt and uncle living with them and their aunt and uncle only spoke Romanian, but I had taken 2 years of Latin so I understood the language well enough to get the basic meanings. I love language and how it can span cultures even if the languages aren't exactly the same!
Seems pretty cool

@@MSeaNP he's an american tho with english as his first language
@@Zinogre5730 hes a TÜRK
That "T" with a comma underneath is pronounced "ts" or "tz" and the "S" with a comma underneath is pronounced "sh". Get it right, for the Romania episode. :)
Can we at least appreciate that he even did a geography epsiode about Moldova? Most people don't even know where that is, let alone their language's pronunciation rules.
I love the Romanian language
and the A with the little curved hat is "uh" so Chisinau is "chi-shi-nou"
Or more specifically, like the double Zs is Pizza
Barb is a bit inconsistent when it comes to language pronounciations.
Sometimes for some languages he goes deep with it, but sometimes he's like meh not gonna try this one.
If you like Eurovision you gonna get know more about Moldova they had sent even folk music in 2009 like hora din Moldova was so cool
