Just when I thought I would go crazy, I’m now enjoying life more than ever before.

Thank God For Non-Recognition
It turns out that REAL democracy is actually pretty cool…
Pigeonholing
Despite the propaganda that you might’ve heard, Moldova isn’t “Romanian territory,” and Pridnestrovie isn’t “Russian territory.”
For the People
As far as I am aware, this is the first time in history that Transnistria has ever appeared on a fictional TV program or movie (in English).

Myth #36: Transnistria gets free gas from Russia
In the “old days,” all three were part of the Soviet Union’s power grid, specifically what is now called the IPS or the Единая энергетическая система.

Fair enough.
Panic at the Moldovan Disco
Honestly, it mostly makes me laugh (but it also makes me a bit angry) when I read clickbait shit like Russia Perfecting Its Elections Interference Toolkit in Moldova.
The headline sets you up to hear about some really dastardly deeds being perpetrated by Russia, but the jock who wrote this sadly fails to deliver.
