For sure the Russian government gave free land that was stolen from Romania after the Russian Turkish war of the late 19th century. After WWII Russia stole Bukovina from the Romanian which now the Ukrainians are defending fiercely as their land.

More interesting both Kishinev and Chernowitz are Romanian / German speaking cities and Russian is spoken only if they are forced to - aside form those pesky resettled Ukrainiana and Russian who invaded the Romanian territory

pay attentionto the language written and spoken - defenitively not Russian
