Currently, Moldova is witnessing thousands of rallies. Residents of the Eastern European

country are protesting against a record rise in gas prices and food, compounded by a sharp drop in living standards.

Already at least a third of the able-bodied population of Moldova has left for other countries. For example, like Mikhail and Valentina Yasybash. Together with their four children they are leaving for Russia for good. Surviving in Moldova is incredibly difficult at the moment. Prices are rising all the time, gas is getting more expensive. To make matters worse, this winter half the country could freeze to death.
