Comments by "VisibilityFoggy" (@VisibilityFoggy) on "Could MOLDOVA and TRANSNISTRIA end up like Ukraine? - VisualPolitik EN" video.

This video dismisses everyone in Transnistria as "pro-Russian separatists," but this glosses over the fact that they were being effectively ostracized and thrown out of any position of influence within Moldova after the ethnic majority sought Romanian reunification, or at least a light version of it. They now lived in a country that didn't speak their language, practice their customs or respected their culture, but also didn't want to grant them their own territory. So they asked the USSR to guarantee their territory since they were drawing the lines of the post-Soviet republics. I doubt if these people much care about the ideology of either side – they just want to continue living without bother.
