History

As early as June 1946, the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences decided to establish the Moldovan Research Base of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Chisinau. In October 1949, the research base was transformed into the Moldavian branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The grand opening of the Academy took place on August 2, 1961. A meeting of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova in September 1994 confirms the reasoned scientific opinion of philologists that the correct name of the state language of Moldova is Romanian.[1] Since September 2009, the University at the Academy of Sciences of Moldova has been operating in the country. In October 2017, President Igor Dodon signed a law that provides for the reform of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova.[2]

gollark: Isn't there the VA system? Which is kind of sort of that for some people.
gollark: I see. I don't actually know anything about Sri Lanka except a vague impression that it's in Africa.
gollark: It would not then be fair to assume that differences are down to some inherent badness of Sri Lanka, but that doesn't make comparisons invalid.
gollark: You can absolutely compare the economy of Sri Lanka and developed place #something. We have many metrics for this.
gollark: Dismissing problems because other things have problems is the problem.
