Perhaps it helps the Latin fraction to try to view it the other way
round: Providing Cyrillic does not mean recognition of the Russification
policy of the Russian majority in Transnistria, but it is a measure of
brotherlyness with the brothers in Transnistria who suffer from a system
that does not allow them to learn the preferred Latin script. Making
available the Romanian Wikipedia in Cyrillic allows them to gain
information and knowledge which is not open to them otherwise. This
could help them to emancipate from their yoke. To view Wikipedia
articles in both scripts and to compare them could people help to learn
Latin script at home, even if they weren't or aren't allowed to learn it
in school.
(This all under the presumption, that there is a non-marginal number of
people who are Cyrillic-only. If there are none, I am against providing
Cyrillic)
