    Ooops, things are falling apart for the Russians in Moldovia, serious rioting after the election:

    CHISINAU (Reuters) – Protesters denouncing a Communist election victory in Moldova seized the president’s offices on Tuesday, hurling computers into the street while police took cover behind riot shields, Reuters reporters said.

    About 10,000 demonstrators massed for a second straight day in the capital of Europe’s poorest country after the Communist Party led by veteran president Vladimir Voronin scored a big victory in a weekend parliamentary election.

    Opposition leaders demanded a new election to resolve the confrontation with Voronin, the only Communist president in Europe, who accused them of seeking destabilization and demanded an end to the “bacchanalia.”

    Most protesters are students who see no future if Communists keep their hold on the ex-Soviet state of 4 million people which is wedged between Ukraine and Romania — on the European Union’s border, but within what Russia sees as its sphere of influence.
