More than 25 years after the fall of the USSR, the Republic of Moldova is facing a prolonged economic crisis. Consequently, the workforce starts migrating abroad. According to statistics, each year the population equivalent of two or three small villages departs from the country, leaving behind deserted, crumbling homes, children and elderly people who have nowhere to go.
Conform statisticilor, în fiecare an, din Republica Moldova pleacă populatia echivalentă a 2-3 sate mici, lăsând în urma lor case părăsite, dărâmate, copii și bătrânii care nu mai pot pleca nicăieri.
