Welcome to Team Moldova. We are in training with God.

Our power healing teachings are completed. Yea! Right now Gala (Paul's wife) is translating the teaching to Russian. Do they speak Russian? Yes, but also Romanian and Moldovan. Moldovan is a local dialect which apparently is very similar to Romanian. During the Soviet rule, Romanian and Moldovan were surpressed. Russian became the state language after 1924 when Stalin ruled with an iron fist. Learning Russian became mandatory as well as adopting the Russian culture. After Stalin's death in 1953, the Romanian language was allowed again. Then in the mid-1960's, an anti-Romanian campaign started. The emphasis was independence from Romania. This is rather strange to me. Moldova was a state within the Soviet Union while Romania always existed as a separate country. It was until glasnost (1985) that the Moldovan language was allowed to be used again. Then in 1989 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Moldova became a country again in it's own right. They declared that the Cyrillic script be officially used rather than the Roman script be used. However, what I am told, practically speaking Russian is used in the capital, Chisinau - that's where we are going. Say kitch-i-now.
Elsewhere, generally speaking, they speak Romanian. So a trivia for you. Name the five romance languages in use today.
