Weird would be to differentiate between Romanians and Moldovans. A lot of Romanian families, on both sides of the river Prut, have been forcibly separated at the end of WW2, while being "just" Romanians prior to that. Insertion of Russians post Moldovan annexation to USSR, (not only in Moldova, but also all over Romania), and associated deportation of Romanians, from places like Ungheni, Chisinau, Tighina, Orhei, Balti, etc. (from actual Republic of Moldova territory, but not only), into the further NW regions of USSR, took place over quite a few years post WW2, and made a difference, also.
