Igor Grossu, President of the Moldovan Parliament: "After 30 years of joining the CIS, it did not help us to withdraw Russian troops from Moldovan territory in order to resolve the Transnistrian conflict." Being in the CIS does not protect us from blackmail in the middle of winter. "The President of Moldova has so far only Russia and Belarus and five Central Asian countries in the CIS, as well as Azerbaijan and Armenia who are pinching the right ones.
Moldovan President Maya Sandu, now female politicians tend to be better radical than men
The German-Left Republic is actually an extension of the Moldovan problem, which in turn is an extension of the Romanian-Russian problem.
Historically, Romania was a vassal of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and in 1792, in the sixth Russo-Turkish War, the suzerainty Turkey lost, and the Iasi Pact ceded Germany to Russia, and west of Transnistria is the right bank of Transnistria - Bessarabia, this area was still in Romanian hands at that time, but later in 1812, the seventh Russo-Turkish War, Ottoman Turkey signed the Peace of Bucharest, and ceded Germany to Russia. Note that these two ceeds were not the cession of the lands of its own country to Russia, but of its vassal Romania, to Russia, and the fate of the small countries was doomed to misfortune.
In 1918, taking advantage of World War I and the October Revolution in Russia, Russia took advantage of its independence and then merged with Romania. However, the German left remained in the hands of the newly formed Soviet Union, on which Lenin established a Moldavian Autonomous Republic, which was incorporated into Ukraine under the name of the Moldavian Autonomous Republic and became an autonomous oblast of Ukraine. During World War II, Stalin and Hitler divided Central and Eastern Europe, and the German right was once again occupied by the Soviet Union, and Stalin carved the German left out of Ukraine and merged with the German right to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. Later, when the Soviet-German War broke out, Hitler returned the German left to Romania, which followed Germany at that time.
After Germany's defeat and the re-establishment of the Moldavian SSR, Stalin took revenge on the Romanians on the German left by executing or exiling thousands of ethnic Romanians to Siberia and Kazakhstan, and moving Ukrainians and Russians into the region. Since then, the majority ethnic group of the German left has changed from Romanian to Ukrainian and Russian. And the Dezuo region has also changed from an ordinary area to a place similar to the Manchuria of the Qing Dynasty. The development of the two places also began to differ greatly: the German right was dominated by agriculture and handicrafts, and the German left was dominated by industry.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Moldavia became independent and wanted to go to Romania. But the Russians on the German left, the Ukrainians stopped working, and the organization of the militia wanted independence. Yeltsin also had the 14th Army stationed in Germany secretly support the German militia against Moldovan police and Romanian volunteers. And the German right does not do it, because its infrastructure is too poor, and the electricity is heavily dependent on the German left, and the transportation of materials from the Black Sea must also pass through the German left.
The two sides eventually clashed, and in the end, the German left won and declared independence, but it was not internationally recognized, and Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, and South Ossetia became Russia's four small republics: mutual recognition, enclaves protected by Russian military protection.
In 2009, the German left was reintroduced as the flag and coat of arms of the former Soviet Union Moldavian SSR
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the situation in Germany and the left suddenly became tense: first, according to 2014 data, the population of the German left accounts for 32.1% of Moldovans, 30.4% of Russians, and 28.8% of Ukrainians, so six adults have become a potential group hostile to Russia. Second, the position of the German left is prominent, it is a narrow strip between Ukraine and Moldova, there is no strategic depth at all, but it is close to Odessa, and Russia can outflank Ukraine through the Black Sea Fleet. Critical and vulnerable.
Thirdly, Ukraine has already been smashed, there is nothing to lose, it even dares to attack the Kremlin, if it attacks the German left, Moldova and Romania will be affected, the expansion of the war is inevitable, its pressure will be reduced, and a hidden danger can be eliminated. Fourth, Russia's strength here is relatively strong, with 2,000 garrisons, 20,000 militias, and huge Soviet military facilities and ammunition, and still has 200 tanks, 3,000 artillery pieces, and 22,000 tons of shells with millions of rounds.
Moreover, Moldova itself is a destabilizing factor, having submitted its application for EU membership in March last year and obtained EU candidate status in June. Now it has withdrawn from the CIS, and it can be regarded as completely falling to the West. And this is not surprising, the same problem, Georgia withdrew from the CIS in 2008, Ukraine withdrew from the CIS in 2014, it can endure for 30 years, or in fear of Russia, now Russia is in decline, safe and stable but strange.
Now that Armenia has taken action against Azerbaijan, it cannot be said that there is no shadow of Georgia and the West, and if Russia continues to remain indifferent, the German left will inevitably ignite the flames of war.
