The slice of land east of the Dniestr and west of Ukraine is Moldova since August 27th, 1991. The whole of Moldova and parts of western Ukraine were Romania until 1940, when the diabolical duo, Hitler and Stalin, strong-armed Romania to give the territory to the Soviets.

Hitler and Stalin are the two worst in European history. Anyone who hangs out their portraits is a massive loser and any country trying to emulate either of these monsters must be broken by the rest of the world.

People always seem to forget that the Soviets were allied with Nazi Germany first before getting invaded and subsequently joining the allies.

I never forgot. I did think that Stalin just bastardized Lenin's idea for a socialist society, but I was wrong about that too. I thought Lenin generally had good intentions with a flawed political system, but it turned out he was a murderous shit-lord as well.
