A short documentary about what makes Moldova such an interesting place. From the breakaway region of Transdnistria, ‘Gypsy Hill’ in the north or Lou Bega performing at a festival, Moldova and its history are fascinating. Filmed on location during September 2017.

Our First house keeper was from Moldova. She had never seen before artichokes, tangerines, persimmons, prikly pears, figs, fennels….
She stole a bottle of olive oil per week probably sent to her country.
After months She was not able to learn the languange.
What the hell Is this Moldova country?🙄
We fired her After 5 months. Bye bye.

0:51 The person in that three headed dragon costume (Don't know if it is a male or female) is probably overheating. That costume looks heavy
Yeah but it sucks👋
This is the best video out there about Moldova. Thank you!
God how irritating the way the picture shoots to the next sentence when he speaks.
There is a mistake. When USSR and Germany sign the treaty in 1939 (and as a consequence a part of Moldova is occupied by USSR) Romania is not a German ally. In fact it becomes so in order to get that part of the country back.

Moldova has its own history, which has its roots long before the Soviet Union, what are you talking about?
I am from India my girl friend from Moldova
You talk too much too fast. Not interesting.
Why you have to speed up video or you are speaking so fast? This is so annoying, many YouTubers do this. Don’t know why.
My dream to taste Moldovan wine.
Sorry, mate, but you missed the point on Moldova, just like countless other vloggers like you prior. All love going to this Communist Human Zoo called Transnistria but don’t focus enough on broader Moldova.
Another gem.
GOOD JOB TRANSNISTRIA✊✊✊✊
Defently one of the worst countries to live in
The banking and elections look like what we’re seeing in the US.
I am so fortunate that YouTube suggested your channel because you are amazing! Of course I’ve subscribed with notifications on and I checked the like button.
Alex, you have always awesome!
Went to grad school with a Moldovan gal in the mid-90s. Talking to her, I noted that her last name was Russian, not Romanian. She said she was indeed ethnic Russian. I asked if the issues with the fall of the USSR and Transnistria made things a bit tense for them. She said very much so. They traveled in groups and took precautions for their security.
Beautiful music at the beginning.
Small countries are fashionable in Europe. The more the better. It plans to join the EU of course and be ruled by your country. Voila. MARCH 2024
Shout-out to Lou Bega
Great question at the end of the video, 5 years later I guess we know in what direction Moldova is heading. Amazing content!
Interesting to learn about Moldova. It seems that Ilhan Shor hid out in Israel (from 2019) for a while but has now (Oct '23) moved on – no doubt to continue his life of corruption.
What most of us (I think) find appealing in your work is the lack of sensationalism. Keep up the good work and we'll claim you as an Aussie.
Dam this brings back memories
