The Moldavians are the native inhabitants of the Republic of Moldova and historical Moldova, the territory on the East of modern Romania (8 counties) and some areas situated in Ukraine (Northern Bukovina, South Bessarabia), that belonged to the Moldavian State in the past. The above-mentioned state existed for 500 years, occupying an area of about 100,000 square kilometers, after that it was governed in a variety of forms - from compact residence of the Moldavians in the Russian province to the state entities with varying degrees of independence (MDR, MASSR, MSSR).
