Note The total population figures refer to 1 January of the years indicated; There will be residents of Moldova who are counted as "born abroad" and / or "foreign nationality" because they were born in other republics of the former USSR before being divided in 1991. Therefore, reading the corresponding values should be made considering this geopolitical change To the detriment of immigration, since before 1991 the former USSR included 15 independent republics: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
The data from 2000, 2005, 2015 and 2020 were revised by the UN and amended by OEm on 05/02/2025
