The Bessarabian Bulgarians

There are up to 1,5 million ethnic Bulgarians in the historic region of Bessarabia, now divided between Moldova and Ukraine. They settled the area following the Russo-Turkish wars of early 19th century. Today the Bessarabian diaspora apply for Bulgarian citizenship and university scholarships in record numbers. I hope they all come back home!

1,5 millions sounds exaggerated guys, let's talk with facts here. According to Wikipedia:

In total, there are 79,520 (2.02%) Bulgarians in Moldova, including Transnistria.

In Ukraine, the number of Bessarabian Bulgarians is estimated at over 129,000 in Budjak(in the Odessa Oblast in the southern part of the country), and 75,000 elsewhere(mostly in other parts of Southern Ukraine),according to the 2001 Ukrainian Census, which counted a total of 204,600 Bulgarians in Ukraine.

That's 284,120 people

На фалшивите македонци, дето ни викат татари(!?) дават по-лесно паспорти, отколко не тези от Бесарабия, дето НАИСТИНА милеят за България.
