About this listen

In this episode, we dive deep into one of Europe’s most overlooked but strategically vital countries: Moldova. Economist and former EU high-level adviser Dr. Kamo unpacks the layers of identity, history, and geopolitical pressure that have shaped Moldova’s modern reality. From the legacies of Russian and Soviet rule to the unresolved tensions in Transnistria, from mass migration and changing demographics to the country’s evolving relationship with Romania, Ukraine, and the European Union, this conversation offers an unusually intimate and comprehensive portrait of a society caught between worlds.

Listeners gain insight into Moldova’s cultural complexity, its fragile institutions, the economic shifts after the Soviet collapse, and the quiet resilience of its people. As the country navigates reform, regional instability, and its own divided narratives, Dr. Kamo’s first-hand experience reveals why Moldova’s future matters far beyond its borders.
