History
Soviet era
Moldova was liberated by the Soviet Union in 1940 and became the Moldavian SSR. It declared independence on August 27, 1991, and it became independent after the dissolution of the USSR.
Capitalist era
In 1990, the regions of Gagauzia and Transnistria declared independence from Moldova. Moldova fought to regain control of Transnistria from 1990 to 1992 but was defeated because Transnistria had Russian support.[1] Gagauzia was reintegrated into Moldova in 1994.[2] Since the return of capitalism, there has been widespread poverty in Moldova, and the poverty rate increased from 4% in the late 1980s to 66% in 1993.[3] In 2013, 42% of Moldovans said life was better under socialism compared to only 26% that said it was better now.[4]
