== Eastern Moldova? == 

 Recently added to lead: "sometimes called Eastern Moldova". Rarely. Less than 600 Google hits for "Eastern Moldova" and, is you'd imagine, a lot of them refer to the eastern part of the Republic of Moldova. I suspect (though I do not know offhand) that this usage reflects some specific politics, possibly Romanian irredentism. Does someone know what is going on here?   |  June 28, 2005 05:26 (UTC)
