I know this is an old documentary, but just to show you that it’s true – the Russian tsarist and soviet culture is alive and demanding its rights, in Transnistria.
Are these people better off? I would say not, but certainly a small fraction got super rich at the expense of all the rest. And although it is culturally attractive for the majority of locals who after 1990 just craved for some old-style soviet social stability – for their previous lives “good or bad as they were” – without ever knowing an alternative option, for the Transnistrian’s government, this is a convenient recipe to secure an easy target population to steal from.
Yes, not fair, but with all their political and civil rights restrained by the monster that they’ve encouraged grow itself, would these people ever choose to be free and live a better life?
Hard to believe. It’s almost as asking a deaf person to walk toward the most beautiful sound…
