"The Soviet Union specifically pushed the idea that "Moldovan" was separate from Romanian and imposed the Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet in the MSSR while Romania itself used the Latin script."

You forget very important point - what you all MSSR or "Moldova" or "Moldavia" was never a part of Romania (except Romanian occupation 1917-1944).

That territory has been annexed by the Russian Empire from Ottoman Empire around 1812, LONG BEFORE such thing as "Romania" appeared on the World' map...

During that time western regions of Moldavia and Wallachia were still using... CYRILLIC alphabet, derived from the Old Church Slavonic (or Bulgarian) alphabet.

So, please, as I said - educate yourself.
