For what it's worth,I have Zaporozhye Cossack ancestry on my grandma's side,so I get that this region is a hodgepodge of peoples

But yes, Basarabia originally was just the Bugeac,which is now that bit that Ukraine has in the south,but even as it shifted,it never went past the Dniester

The Principality of Moldavia ended there and before Russia came it was mostly empty Tatar controlled land

Basarabia now is split between Moldova,the Ukrainian Bugeac and some territories in the north that were given to Ukraine that are now part of the Cernauti oblast, that was part of another historical region that Moldavia had,Bucovina, that now is split between Romania and Ukraine

That is correct,however, Pridniestrovie is not Basarabia at all

Historical Basarabia is between the Prut and Dniester rivers, Pridniestrovie is on the other side

My whole point is that the "Moldavian" ASSR conceived of during the interwar period that was the basis of what is now Pridniestrovie had nothing to do with Basarabia and Moldova and that it was created and then tacked onto Moldova because they wanted to take back Basarabia from Romania. That is all well and good,seeing as the Kingdom of Romania joined hands with Hitler and then got it's ass rightfully beaten. What I'm critical of is the decision to keep it attached to the post war Moldovan SSR instead of creating a new SSR or just giving it to Ukraine. This land was only sparsely inhabited by Moldovans even pre WW2 and it only got more Russo-Ukrainian from there. So,why tack on a non Moldovan strip of land to the SSR? It was like tacking on Artsakh to Azerbaijan. And I say this as someone who likes the USSR! But,this tacking on of territories for no discernable reasons into SSRs that didn't have a similar population to me was a mistake.
