†007 - Mending old wounds except not.
May. 2nd, 2010 05:54 pm[Once again, for what seems like the millionth time in Mihail's existence, the politics of Romania have screwed him over, except now, it seems somehow different. For decades after Moldova separated from Romania and became its own country, the tensions between the countries and the capital cities have been almost unbearable. And now with recent news, it feels like a whiplash from being at each others' throats to suddenly being *~*best friends*~* with someone he hasn't been very fond of lately.
What's worse is that his own personal history with Chisinau hasn't exactly been the sparkling star of happiness. It started off nicely, yes, but after separation and some very nasty comments and actions, it's gotten down to outright warfare between the two. After all, in the time Moldova was part of Romania, Chisinau was just another small city. There's definitely been room for bitterness.
So not only are the memories of the Cold War biting at him, but this news has put him in a mixed mood. Yes, he's happy that Moldova and Romania are working things out, but he doesn't like that it directly involves Chisinau and himself.
People are free to talk to him, be it bother him because he's already in a pissy mood, or make him feel better, as he's happy speaking to any of his ex-Soviet Bloc neighbors.]
