 ::: You are not preserving the intent of the decree. It talks both about the threat which (a) the restriction of civil rights (more proper term, per you) of non-Moldovans and (b) the movement for autonomy both taken together pose for political stability and personal safety of the citizens of the republic. It goes on to specifically mention the language law as something which should be reexamined. These are all key points which your edit ignores and, frankly, is less informative an account than it should be. Your over-simplifiation puts the "blame" squarely and solely on the Moldovans oppressing minorities and states Gorbachov declared the declaration of autonomy illegal just to save Moldova. I'm sorry, now that you want to provide more detail based on the content of the declaration, I do not believe your now simplification is adequate. I would request several other Russian-knowledgeable editors to read the decree or, better, to find a reputable English-language source discussing its content.   23:03
