The Soviet Union had potential and prospects. What can we do now? If we compare the USSR’s economic decline with the decline in Moldova during the last few years, in whose favor will be the comparison?” Vladimir Voronin told the press during a break in the Parliament’s sitting. According to Vladimir Voronin, Moldova is a small country, with insignificant natural resources and without development potential.
