#Russia publicist Dmitry Steshin (“Russkiy tarantas”, 170k subscribers) just published the following regarding #Transnistria and #Moldova

It’s easier to leave Transnistria before the Romanians carry out a humiliating, forceful and demonstrative takeover of the Russian republic. In the form of an occupation followed by annexation. Because, objectively speaking, there’s nothing we can do about it. And there’s a view that Transnistria’s resistance will be much the same as Karabakh’s. Most people will flee. Everyone has three or four passports to hand. No one in their right mind would want to repeat the earthly trials of Donbass, with years of marinating – ‘take it to heart, send it to hell’. Then again, ‘no one promised Transnistria anything’ apart from passports.

In the last paragraphs he refers to a narrative popular among #Novorossiya “patriots” who briefly believed that “Putin will come and liberate them” back in 2014, before thugs like Zakharchenko came and “liberated” them of their property.
