Moldova could repeat the fate of Ukraine if the republic’s authorities blame the famine of the 1940s on the Soviet Union, stiripesurse.ro reported, quoting the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. The statement of the Russian official appeared in the Moscow media after the Speaker of Moldova’s Parliament Igor Grosu demanded to recognize the famine in Moldova in the 1946-1947 post-war period as genocide.

The Russian official also said that in Ukraine, the path from the formalization of the “fairytales about the Holodomor” (i.e., about the “Great Famine” – e.n.) in 2006 in the form of a corresponding law to the creation in 2014 of the first Nazi battalion and, subsequently, of the Azov regiment and brigade, took less than 10 years,” Medvedev related on a social networking site, according to The Moscow Times.

He noted that all these are “links of the same chain - the fascisation of the country and creation of an atmosphere of hatred in society:. “And everything, from the “games” with history. Don’t play mindlessly with it so as not to end up in a new war! Or does Moldova really want to share the fate of Ukraine?”, concluded the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.

Stiripesurse notes that at the end of last year, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the West was preparing Moldova for the role of “the next victim” after Ukraine in the hybrid war conducted against Russia. In particular, he accused the EU and NATO of “killing” the format of negotiations for the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict.

At the same time, Lavrov hinted that Moldova may not be the last on the list of “victims”. “Every country where Western emissaries, foundations and so-called nongovernmental organizations are now active should think about it,” he said, reminding that “the 2014 coup” and “eight years of hostilities in Donbass” were needed to form an “anti-Russian bridgehead” in Ukraine.

The quoted source specified that the Moldovan authorities previously accused Moscow of wanting to organize a coup d'état in the country. President Maia Sandu said that Russia invaded Ukraine with the intention of “building a military land corridor to the Republic of Moldova, which would create preconditions for an immediate violent change of the constitutional order and the liquidation of our statehood.”

In the new national security strategy of the Republic of Moldova, Russia is directly called a “threat”. The document also provides for the establishment of a strategic partnership with NATO countries. In addition, in June this year the Republic of Moldova started negotiations on accession to the EU, writes Stiripesurse.
