What happens in Moldova? Why was the election so close? How has Russia tried to hijack the elections in Moldova? Are Moldovan and Romanian languages different? What are the generational and regional differences in Moldova?
We talked to an actual Moldovan (they aren't that rare..) about this often overlooked country. Recorded in October 2024.
