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.

Eight hundred years is time enough to perfect it.

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.
