ELECTIONS IN TRANSNISTRIA (TRANSDNESTRIA), IN FIGURES
december 27 2005 - 19:53 (ro.altermedia.info)
 Final results of transnistrean parliamentary elections, published after election have been held on December 11, 2005. According to the results participation included 50,3% of voters. A total of 179 candidates disputed 43 parliamentary seats, each representing one electoral circumscription. So, the current impasse in the Transnistrean conflict has been stressed by the breakaway republic's decision to hold elections on December 11. The polls have been regarded with embarrassment by international players and were unrecognized by foreign powers. For instance, Vasilii Filipciuk (Vasyly Fylypchuk), the head of Ukraine's Foreign Ministry press office, declared on December 13, "…representatives of Ukraine, Russia, U.S. and O.S.C.E. clearly stated their position that the elections to Supreme Council of Trans-Dniester, held on December 11, are not recognized as legitimate," The 26 candidates that won the election had support from the pro-Russian neo-liberal political movement “Obnovlennie”. The movement, protecting the interest of small and medium business and of economic clan “Sheriff” Tiraspol, collected in the electoral campaign 70. 000 signatures to be attached to the letter intended to Vladimir Putin to get international recognition of elections’ results. The 13 winners, out of the 25 candidates of social-political-movement...

ERROR OF THE MOLDOVAN AMERICANISTS
november 29 2005 - 09:57 (Public Center for Monitoring and Strategic Analysis)
 On every occasion or event it comes up to discuss on the issue of transnistrean conflict, about minority which live on territory of Moldova, about activity of mass media or about arrival of winter, lots of voices, by all means, aim to reveal the “imperial politics” of Moscow. Nothing escapes from “all-seeing eyes” of these people, not even one of the intrigues planed by the “Russian imperialists”, whether directed against Republic of Moldova, or against of any other country or other people. Quality of the Moldovan-Russian relation along the last fifteen years, and in particular the Moscow’s approach on the problem of settling the transnistrean conflict and support of Smirnov regime, these are enough to cause such negative reaction and suspicions relating to the Russian Federation. At the same time, we think, the use of such terms as “Russian imperialism” or “imperial politics” of Moscow, is inappropriate and does not represent the situation. Foreign policy of the Russian Federation, for the last fourteen years, and in particular bi-lateral relations with former socialist republics, cannot be considered imperial. The best it may be considered/estimated as anti-imperialist. We say “at the best”, because there is a set of arguments speaking about absence of any policy/politics...

(TRANSDNESTRIA) TRANSNISTRIA: THE END OF THE LEGEND
november 28 2005 - 17:29 (Public Center for Monitoring and Strategic Analysis)
The main event is the renewal of negotiating process after a 15-month's break and can be regarded as the only appreciable result in the efforts of settling the transnistrean problem. The main question - the political settle of conflict, today is outside of discussion. As diplomats say, the parties “remove blockages”, which have raked up during time of distress. As it is known, the president of Moldova Vladimir Voronin has declared that Moldova will not carry on any dialogue with present leadership of Tansnistria, but “with a new management I shall be always ready to sit down for negotiations”. The president has emphasized that the most perspective in this respect he sees the vice-speaker of today parliament Evgheni Şevciuk, and has reminded, that the position of Moldova consists only in the peaceful settle of transnistrean conflict. (We shall remind, Evgheni Şevciuk, was the leader of so-called “groups of 17”, consisting of Supreme body deputies of Transnistria, who in the summer of 2005 have tried to carry out the constitutional reform limiting individual authority of Smirnov, but have failed). “we do not intend to influence the situation in Transnistria other, than by the means of negotiations”, - the president of Moldova has told. Nevertheless, despite of Vladimir Voronina's precise formulations which do not leave a place for misunderstanding or distortions, (not) official mass-media of Tiraspol , as usual, tried to lead the population...

IN TRANSNISTRIA (TRANSDNESTRIA) PROCESS OF DENATIONALIZATION OF MOLDOVANS CONTINUE
november 24 2005 - 13:05 (Public Center for Monitoring and Strategic Analysis)
Executive director of nongovernmental organization Promo-Lex, Ion Manole, has visited USA at the beginning of November, along with director of Tiraspol’s high school “Lucian Blaga” with teaching in Romanian language Ion Iovcev. In USA they had meetings with representatives of state department, the congress, the senate of the USA, during which they have told about lawlessness committed by the leaders of self-proclaimed “transnistrean Moldovan republic” (tmr) and what disorder have been organized in “tmr”. As considers Ion Manole, democratic, indeed free elections in Transnistria may be possible to carry-out in two-three years, after a withdrawal of the Russian armies from territory of region. As well it will happen after residents on the left bank of Nistru (Dnestr) river will have access to the international and Moldovan mass-media, when a consolidated civil society will be generated, and political parties of RM can work free in this region. At the press conference organized by the news agency INFOTAG, Ion Manole has noted, that population of Transnistria from year to year are exposed to terror from the separatist’ regime. By help of militaries it has come to power 15 years ago, and all this period dominates on left side of Nistru river. In region all attempts of heterodox opinions are stopped, there is no opposition and free press. The present situation on the left bank of Nistru river differs much more from the one that was several years ago....

ON THE VALUE OF SOME EXPERTS FROM CHISINAU
october 12 2005 - 17:58 (Public Center of Strategic Analysis and Monitoring)
News agencies, TV and radio channels, newspapers and magazines believe is their duty that majority of events of great interest for public, especially the political, to be commented by experts. The informational framework is not complete if besides the officials or politicians, which opinions are biased, there is not presented also the comments of some expert. Opinion of a domain specialist is meant to bring to the public unbiased vision about the event, or on certain processes and phenomena. We would not object if things would be working this way. But most of the times mass-media use these evaluations that are done by specialist to manipulate the reader or TV spectator. Media has within reach and access to a lot of methods. Diverse newspapers would present in own way the same comment. The opinion of the specialist may be taken out from its context and misplaced, mutilated, edited to correspond to “standards” fixed by editor or owner. As example we are presenting comments of a famous specialist in transnistrean conflict, which often are used by smirnovist mass-media to produce opposite effects. Professionalism of specialists is not affected by the quality of Moldovan mass-media. Ideological and political engagement (we will not mention those who serve to some interests for money) is another handicap of experts. We do not try to promote the image of completely distanced from ideology (or “de-ideologized”), this sort of experts lacking any emotions, visions,...

BORN TO KEEP THE MOUTN SHUT…(1)
september 23 2005 - 13:06 (Public Centre for Strategic Analysis and Monitoring)
trans-Dniestr originarS FORCED to live in their fatherland At the beginning of the already past century, the ‘50, while Moscow has decided to build barrage on Dniestr and to construct the hydro-power installation in Dubăsari (fact that partially triggered the current degradation and sludging of the river), here have been sent not only designers, geodesists, hydro-engineers and other specialists of exceptional profile, but also hundreds of excavators, tractor drivers and people of other professions, that Moldova was not missing. My uncle, who was living in a vicinity village, Coşieri, told me later that he was the only Moldovan excavator on the working site and that generally locals were not employed there – if yes, then at very difficult and primitive tasks, related to “spade and shovel”. Those who took profit on the occasion (Moldova being truly considered at that time as USSR’s „flourishing orchard”) and managed to obtain a “holiday ticket” to the future shock working site, coming here by thousands from all immense lands of Russia, could not really stand those born on this land. „They were thinking of us – as my uncle’s tale says – as of some backward „specimen”, indebted towards them, because soviet power and Russia brought liberty and happiness to us”. In parallel to the construction of the barrage, very next to Dniestr, another working site was opened – the...

2 SEPTEMBER 2005: NEW U-TURN OR ANOTHER STEP BACK?
september 12 2005 - 18:34 (MOLDPRESS)
 Despite some Experts’ expectations, the 2 September festivities in Tiraspol dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the self-proclaimed Transnistrian republic were conducted under a single vector – the Russian one. All the officials’ speeches, and absolutely all the events organised by the Tiraspol administration were Russia-orientated. No Ukrainian flag was waved by any participant in the festivities, in return, there were a huge number of Russian flags and slogans such as: Russia-Transnistria: 15 Years Together! Analysts consider that the main reason of the created situation is of economic nature. While Ukraine is taking concrete steps to strengthen control over the Transnistrian segment of the Moldovan-Ukrainian border, Russia, through the Tiraspol subsidiary of its Chamber of Trade and Industry, provides the Transnistrian export with the needed ST-1 certificates, allowing to export goods abroad. Nowadays, this is almost the only valid Transnistrian economic artery. Besides, the obviously demonstrative “pro-Russian hallmark” of the holiday could be Transnistria’s reaction to Ukraine’s refusal to delegate official Verkhovna Rada representatives to the festivity. Right before the holiday, the Transnistrian state security ministry, through the Proriv corporation, administered a cowardly blow to the Ukrainian-minded forces in Tiraspol: while...

Moscow’s warning, in the framework of the summit on August 24th, was that “former soviet republics remaining under Russian influence course will have all advantages, including price exemption for energy resources, informs Russia Today agency. Unlike these, says the quoted source, states that will keep close ties with West will have to pay consequences of this orientation. “The new approach of Kremlin towards CIS is a result of “velvet”, “orange” etc and al sort of colored revolutions”. Moscow understands that the countries of CIS has departed politically so far that it become a threatening to the existence of the Commonwealth” the agency comments. According to estimation of Russian analysts, west changed completely the leadership of Georgia, Ukraine, at the same time draw on their side the president of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin. Along with they appreciate that west intention is not to stop here, deepening the Kremlin suspicions on the fact that there will be next “victims” of colored revolutions as follows Kazakhstan, Belarus.

FROM COMMANDANT CHE TO MAJOR SO
august 29 2005 - 17:07 (MOLDPRES)
Recently in Tiraspol with big show has been opened the Higher School of Political Leadership (HSPL) entitled „Che Guevara”. As director has been appointed the major of the state security ministry of separatist region Dmitrii Soin. The basic faculty is composed also by an officer of separatist “kgb” Nikolai Strucikov, deputy in the Tiraspol supreme soviet , in the past he was committed to the Russian national unity, another officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Igor Tkacenko, director of Russian-transnistrian informational-analytical center Alexei Martinov and „the emissary” of International Euro-Asian movement” Roman Konopliov. According to analysts on the eve of elections 2005-2006 separatist “kgb” does attempt not only to pull towards itself socially active youth on which support stakes leader Igor Smirnov, but also to go further, that is to bring into power the extremist radicals where no place for Smirnov will be any more. This is the reason why director of HSPL became the transnistrian “kgb” major Dmitrii Soin. It is supposed, that the young "pupils" of school are the ones to become the personal political support in the future and unlike Igor Smirnov and his “old guards”, uneducated and obsolete, this officer is skilful in modern political technologies. It is left only to guess whether major Soin starting day “X” will work on his chief, general Vladimir Antiufeev, or for himself. In any case it is doubtfully, that Soinist school is created...

I. PARLIAMENT HAS THE OBLIGATION TO GIVE A POLITICAL-LEGAL DEFINITION OF THE PHENOMENON IN THE EAST REGION OF THE COUNTRY AND ACCEPT A NATIONAL STRATEGY OF THE CONFLICT RESOLUTION, STATING CLEARLY THE FINAL GOAL.
august 1 2005 - 01:29 (Public center for strategic analysis and monitoring)
 On June, 21st has turned 13 years since in 1992 the Agreement on principles for peace settlement of the military conflict in transnistrian region of Republic of Moldova has been signed. This document has put an end to the military operations began by Smirnov separatist regime against the constitutional order in Republic of Moldova, this document is forgotten or ignored by some politicians and analysts. We see this attitude unfair, as the Agreement generally has generated a high political pressure in the triangle Chisinau - Tiraspol - Moscow. On the role of the Agreement at the moment of its signing and regarding its consequences till today we discussed with the expert of Institute of Public Policies of Republic of Moldova, Mr. Oazu Nantoi. I. At the basis of the Smirnov’ regime reality reside incompetence, also corruption and absence of political determination from Chisinau’ authorities. - Mr. Nantoj, I suggest to lead a retrospective of premises that launched the military conflict on Nistru (Dnestr). What is the motivation to start the conflict, who are the subjects, the form to develop these sad events? Situation was very complex and inconsistent. The general elections in February-March, 1990 in the Supreme Soviet of the former Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR) passed on all territory of the country, in all 380...

National Security Doctrine of the United States of America was revealed publicly by Administration of the White House. All that might be said in such cases is that the document absorbs the spirit of the age. If you look through the pages of the Doctrine you’ll find out the White House sees and acknowledges the US as the sole existing super power. It draws public attention to the problem and danger of world terrorism and swears to intensify its mission in extending democracy all over the world.A number of transatlantic specialists renamed the doctrine of National Security of the United States of America as “doctrine of superiority”. Fact was indirectly acknowledged by China and Russian Federation – two the most virulent opponents of unipolar international system. Document came under severe criticism as direct answer to stipulations present in the document. The same view was shared by Europe, though in another form – by keeping silence.Doctrine does not represent the document proclaiming American superiority, but rather a mechanism allowing that superiority be institutionalized. Democracy spreading, fight with terrorism and promotion of liberty (in American style) became nothing but a complex instrument to achieve American world dominance system.United States of America manner to defend liberty and promote... 
Current week was marked by increased problem created by the separatist regime from Tiraspol in regard to New Customs Regime on Moldovan-Ukrainian State border. Weak (lull) phase set in by the end of the last week was just tactic removal interrupted by a new Russian – smirnovist attack against the Ukrainian President Iuscenco.Freshly appointed for the office by Russian side ambassador Reabov expressing his opinion in rigorous terms accused officials from Chisinau and Kiev of establishing an economic blockade on the right bank of Dniester. Diplomat concentrated public opinion on the possibility for further fear of humanitarian catastrophe in Trans – Dniestria, and pointed out created current situation is the result of an „Western Command”( we are not here to underestimate the west's role and influence, though to our mind Russian diplomat was not moving in the right direction). President of Moscow parliament lower chamber brought to public attention State Duma, Moscow Municipality and Moscow Town Council prepared deliverance of humanitarian aid for Trans - Dniestria.The other features of the tandem again promised to block border with Ukraine, while leader Smirnov came with the declaration addressed to Russian president Putin through which he pleaded for Putin’s intervention when feeling the... 
No doubt the main discussions are on gas boosting prices in the beginning of the year forecated by GAZPROM company. Starting January 1, 2006 former soviet republics, except Belarus, and of course Central Asian countries are going to buy natural gas on a price much higher than before. Increase in price for “blue combustible” may vary starting with few tens of dollars, as it is for Armenia, up to few times the price, as for Ukraine. 
Gradually, weapons, munitions, as well the troops of 14th Army disappear “absorbed” by the paramilitary forces of the breakaway republic that is not recognized internationally. The military role of Transnistrean (Trans-Dniester) region is a lot diminished very often in press-releases that report evaluations on military power potential in the zone. Also, it was considered in ’90 that military units from Transnistia would represent the Russia’s bridge-head to Balkans. In the last years multiple sources, more or less well-intentioned has credited the idea that Transnistria would not represent a real military potential, anyway incomparable with the potential in the past, consequently suggesting that Russia would not be in reality interested of the control over this zone but marginally and strictly from political considerate. 
The orthodox doctrine about the correlation between church and government for the first time has been formulated in VI chapter of Codex of Justinian I in 534 year where the principle of “the Concordance of Authorities” is stated. Later this principle has been fixed in isagoge that is in the code of laws of 879 year, made by Basil I Macedonian at direct influence of Patriarch Photius of Constantinople, which has excommunicated Pope of Roma Nicholas I for introduction on the Eighth Ecumenical Synod the introduction of the "filioque" clause into the Creed. 
We do not doubt anymore the fact that Kiev’ authorities aim to solve the separatist conflict (in Moldova) lead by own interest.
