Hah, and me who thought they only stole Romania's national treasure, under the guise of 'safekeeping'.
I guess Russia has always been a shitty country.
Except you're leaving out two key facts:
1. National treasures (ex gold) were returned in '35 and '56.
2. Romania intervened against the Bolsheviks in Bessarabia.
#2 seems like FAFO to me. And I'm sure some Romanians got kickbacks from the "transfers." Nobody forced Romania to transfer their assets.

Eight hundred years is time enough to perfect it.
