Moldova-and-pman

Although there have been very credible reports that some foreign journalists have had a difficult time getting into Moldova, the New York Times has a correspondent on the ground. This means that Americans will read about events in Moldova in the national paper of record and perhaps I'll no longer have to explain to people where the country is located (though perhaps I shouldn't get my hopes up). The paper's main recent articles are here and here, and the comments page to the first one has a wealth of thoughtful Moldovan voices (+1 more) occupying various points of view but mostly seeming to agree that Tuesday's violence was unacceptable. There are not many other places I can think of where one could see a relatively articulate debate about events in Moldova conducted in English.

Opposition parties in Moldova won the right Thursday to review voter lists in the contested parliamentary elections that set off huge anti-Communist protests here. They said they would comb the lists for possible fraud, including dead or nonexistent people who might have been used by the Communists to pad their victory.
