Do Romanians speak Russian? No, and here’s why

We get asked this more often than you'd think. Here's the actual story behind the Romanian language, and why the Russian guess, while common, misses by quite a lot.

https://secretsofromania.com/2026/06/13/do-romanians-speak-russian-no-and-heres-why/

The western nations have always accepted Russian occupation and imperialism.

After WW2, the West signed off entire eastern Europe to remain under Soviet occupation. This meant violent subjugation of any dissidence, and often genocides.

Today is no different. USA, it’s leading oligarchs, and Europe’s right wing would glady turn Ukraine over to Russia’s whims, and this time they’d make business with it to boot.

Makes me absolutely sick.
