What's up with Moldova?

Albania, Turkey and Bosnia unsurprisingly have the lowest numbers, but Moldova is an outlier there.
 
Something to do with Soviet distaste for western culture?

Yes.

From the story of the band called Aria, I gathered that Soviets weren't against rock music per se, but weren't willing to support it in a slightest. I don't think you could land a record deal or use a venue in a Soviet system if you weren't tight with the party. No imports, crap domestic instruments etc. Not a good climate for artists, limited contact with the rest of the world, unable to emigrate, severely limited access to tools, and literally no methods of exposure to the general public.
