Moldova: Dozens protest 1940 annexation by Soviet Union under deal with Nazi Germany
Dozens gathered Thursday in front of the Russian embassy to protest the 1940 annexation of what today is the Republic of Moldova, then a part of Romania. On June 28, 1940 the Soviet Union annexed the territory following a 1939 deal with Germany _ known as the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact _ which also gave the Soviet Union parts of Poland and the three Baltic states, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. About 40 participants, who carried Romanian flags with black ribbons tied to them, called for the reunification of Moldova with Romania, chanting "Great Romania, the only salvation." The Soviet troops were driven out of Moldova by the allied German and Romanian armies in 1941. The Soviet Union retook Moldova under the peace deal of 1945 and incorporated it into the Soviet Union. Moldova and the Baltic republics regained their independence in 1991. "The Republic of Moldova is a bankrupt state, an error of history, and its only salvation is to unite with the mother country, with Romania," said Iacob Golovca, president of the Association against the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. "Only this way we can return to normalcy and we can join NATO and the European Union."
