As for Moldova (the poorest country in Europe), the good old commies have returned (but wait! isn't it that this is the result of failed economic reforms, which we in the Baltic countries have succeeded in?) and are reportedly just building up the happy earthly paradise there (hopefully they will manage to do the miracle that their Russian, Chilean, Mongolian, Chinese, Peruvian, Hungarian and German comrades failed to do). Happy people the Moldovians are! (though Estonians visiting this country report Moldovans telling: 'if only we had the problems you Estonians have...'). - Talk
