    Sorry everyone, our sound cut off at 14:23 - 15:01. Ivana was saying how she was surprised by Iași because she thought it would be in the middle of nowhere. But in fact, it’s a very lively city with tons of happening around. Ivana loved the vibes of Iași.❤️🇹🇩

      Iași is not a town since it has over 360,000 inhabitants which makes it 1/3 of Stockholm population or if in Sweden it would be the 3rd city after the capital and Göteborg.

    The first king of Hungary is also a Saint Stephen (reigned from about 1000 AD). So you got a classy name right there, Steve.

    Moldova is one of the three big romanian regions that came toghether to form Romania. Unfortunatly the eastern half of Moldova was captured by the soviets, was heavily russified by bringing people from Siberia, propaganda etc and turned into a republic that is today the country of Moldova.

    • @dracowar6
      @dracowar6 Před 2 lety +5

      We lost the eastern half to the russians in 1812 when Napoleon gifted it to Tzar Alexander to suck up to him. Literally. He wanted to "have a friend" among the rulers or Europe, so he gave away half of Moldova, among other territories. Exactly like the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact 140 years later.
      After selling Basarabia to the Russians, both napoleon and hilter got exactly what they deserved for playing God.

    Hey Steve, just few historical facts. Romania was build in 1859 when Wallachia and Moldavia (two old Romanian countries) selected the same leader (Alexandru Ioan Cuza). The first name was United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. In 1866, a new constitution was adopted and the name was changed in Romania. In the same year, Romania elected her first king, Carol the First (from the German family of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen). In 1877, after a war against Ottoman Empire, allied with Russia, Romania obtained his independence. Unfortunately, Russia showed his intentions when they choose to keep the eastern part of Moldova. Romania obtained in 1878 Dobruja. In 1918, at the end of the WWI, Romania obtained Transylvania and also the actual country of Moldova. In 1940, Romania lost the northern part of Transylvania to Hungary and the actual country of Moldova to USSR. After the WWII, Romania regain the Transylvanian regions but the eastern part of Moldova remain under USSR. Today that part in an independent country, Moldova. I will close this with a link to see who was Stephen the Great: czcams.com/video/CKFhubbLQd0/video.html. You will like it! Greetings guys!!

    • @dracowar6

      you are incorrect about the Russians taking Basarabia in 1877. It was stolen by the russian in 1812, when Napoleon "gifted" it, along with other teritories, to Tzar Alexander, in order to suck up to royalty. Napoleon was as bad at reading people, as he was good at war or administration.

Also Romanians call Republic of Moldova either Basarabia (from a Romanian prince called Basarab) or Moldova de peste Prut ( the Moldova over the river Prut/Pruth) . Moldavia and Moldovia are foreign names that are not necessarily wrong but they are foreign constructs sometimes used in movies and tv shows by lazy writers/researchers.

    If you go out from the Palace park , down the hill to the main road road , across the 4 lane boulevard you will see a small church.
    In front of the church there is a little park. Chess is beeing played there, in the same manner.
    It's like 5 minutes walk from where you are.

    there in this Palace from Iasi was celebrated the first union of romanians - Moldova and Wallachia (Wallachia is the name gave by foreigners ,we say actually - Tara Romaneasca) in 24 January , 1859...this Palace is huge historical for romanians ,obviously...
    Transylvania was added in 1st December , 1918 , after WW1 , forming exactly the current display of Romania on map (like we see it in 2021)

    Until 2011 Iasi was the second largest city of Romania, considering 2011 statistics it is the fourth. If we look at 2021 infos, it is the second again. That is not really important. Reality is Timisoara, Iasi and Cluj-Napoca are mostly the same in population and represent the most 3 important cities of Romania after Bucharest. By size, Timisoara is bigger than Iasi in numbers but more than half of Iasi is on big hills and valleys while Timisoara is flat. Both are great cities.

    So glad you visited Iași =)) You should return to check inside the Metropolitan Cathedral ( here is the biggest pilgrimage in Romania, on 14 October, so even visiting outside the services you'll find a lor of people. Here are the relicvs of Saint Parascheva or Saint Petka, in slavic languages.) Then you should visit Copou park ( this park is related to a lot of Romanian writers, the most important, Mihai Eminescu - the last romantic composer in Europe, as a fun fact he wrote the longest love poem in the world, Luceafărul which means The Morning Star), Botanical Garden is also very beautiful and is close to Copou park. Then try Frumoasa and Cetățuia Monastery. ( Frumoasa means Beautiful in Romanian❤ and I know at Cetățuia is also a small medieval museum). Btw, at the History Museum you saw a lot of ceramics and prehistoric objects from Cucuteni Culture which is responsible of the Tablets from Tărtăria, Transylvania (some experts say that the letters from these tablets represents an older writing system than Mesopotamian one, so the oldest in the world). Have fun!!❤❤
