Moldova has been invaded, annexed, and partitioned more times than most nations can count – yet it endures. From Ottoman rule to Russian domination, from Soviet annexation to modern independence, its story is one of resilience under pressure. Today, Moldova finds itself caught between the West’s promises and Moscow’s threats, with the unresolved Transnistria conflict still looming. This episode of Eastern Express examines Moldova’s past and present, asking whether Europe’s most fragile state can secure a democratic future in the upcoming parliamentary election. Moldova may be small, but the stakes surrounding its survival are enormous.
