Which spelling should be used for its article name? The Romanian/ Moldovan spelling (Malaiesti) or the Russian speling (Malayeshty)?
Google has many more hits for Malaiesti. This is not always a good criterion, but here it might be.
I'd use the spelling the people living there use.
For Malaiesti, most are Moldovans, but what about the places with mixed population? :-)
