Young Moldovans on the third day of their protest in front of the Government buildings in Chisinau diplay a poster stating "Communism is the choice of the Dead". This is a direct indictment at the brazen practice of the Communists at including on the electoral roll 183,000 names of deceased citizens. (photo Reuters correspondent).

Еhe Communist leadership so far brought Moldova to its knees (through the good offices of Moldovan Voronin and Russia' Putin) and forced over one million of its citizenry to emigrate (one quarter of the country's population) to earn a pittance abroad as cheap labour, something that it is more attractive than the starvation limit at home.
