From Rzeszów it is closer to Tiraspol than to Szczecin, hence it is an article on an inflammatory area close the Polish border.
As a consequence of political processes following planet War I, our homeland was reborn. another nations were besides beneficiaries of these processes.
Romanian Traces
After the large war, the territorial gain came to the Kingdom of Romania. The Kingdom of Romania was incorporated by the Hungarians of the Seven-gardens (in many cities of the Seven-garden Hungarians they constituted the majority, in Târgu Mures of Romania they gained a comparative majority only in the 1990s). Romania besides fell to South Dobrujah. The Chernivtsi region now belongs to Ukraine, but until the end of planet War I this area belonged to Austro-Hungarian. After the war, the area of today's Chernivtsi region fell to the Kingdom of Romania. Romania has entered the area of the present Moldovan state (except the present Transnistrian Republic of Moldova). In addition, the Kingdom of Romania included large parts of today’s Odeski circuit, which is now part of Ukraine.
Pro Romanian Front
The USSR authorities decided to make the Autonomous Moldovan Socialist russian Republic within the Ukrainian russian Republic. The Moldovan SRR included the area of the present-day Transnistrian Republic of Moldova (without the city of Bendery) plus the areas presently forming part of the Ode region in Ukraine. After planet War II, the territories of the present-day Transnistrian Republic of Moldova were incorporated into the Moldovan Socialist russian Republic. In this area the manufacture developed during the russian period, the area of the left bank of Dniestr was filled by experts from the USSR – mostly Russians and Russian-speaking people. During the dissolution of the USSR, nations were awakened. The nations demanded independency and self-determination. The Lithuanians wanted the Lithuanian states, Latvia, Georgia, Georgian states etc. Another unique condition appeared in the MSR. The People's Front of Moldova came to power, which was rusophobic and demanded unity with Romania.
14th Army on guard
The Russian-speaking and Slavic population feared the People's Front of Moldova. On 2 September 1990, the population from the left bank of Dniestr announced the creation of the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova within the USSR. During the russian agony, her political leadership supported the coup Gennadija Janaev. Shortly after the fiasco, the authorities in Chisinau decided to deal with the separatists. On their side was the general. Aleksandr Lebiedz – Commander of the 14th Army (Lebiedz competed in the 1996 presidential election in the Russian Federation – gained 14.52%, ranked as a patriot; co-worker of the general both on the front in Transnistria and in politics was Dmitri Rogozin – erstwhile Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, manager General of Roskosmos, and presently Senator of the Zaporosian Oblast, who according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation is part of that country). Lebied's troops overtook the scales in the war. The left bank of the Dniester plus the city of Bendery were under separatist control.
Cossack's failed mission
Polish-speaking media and experts tell naive media recipients that the Russian Federation in the post-Soviet area controls everything manually. On the example of the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova, we can see what fairy tales tell, experts’. Dmitri Kozak He is simply a well-known Russian diplomat, and was Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation from 2008 to 2020. In 2003, Kozak published a draft resolution of the conflict between Kishinov and Tyraspol (from the author's name to the task the word “the Cossack memorandum”) began to be said. The task envisaged the transformation of Moldova into a federation (Naddniestrovsk Republic of Moldova was to hold its parliament, a number of rights, and in addition the autonomy of Gagauzia was to be extended). The Kozak Memorandum was rejected by the pro-Russian president of Moldova Vladimir Voronina (leader of the Communist organization of the Republic of Moldova). Interestingly, the Tiraspol separatists were besides not curious in adopting the document. There was then an increase in tension, a slight exchange of fire between the parties to the conflict.
Elections – large competition
The first president of the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova was Igor Smirnow. In his time the celebrated Sheriff holding company led by Viktor Gushana. Holding has monopolized a number of economical spheres in an internationally unrecognized republic. There were presidential elections in 2011. Moscow was betting on Anatoly Kamiński – then president of the Council of the ultimate Transnistrian Republic of Moldova. President-in-Office Smirnow (the residents were tired of his many years of rule) stood to the election. The strong candidate was Evgeny Shevczuk. He besides took part in the election Oleg Chorjan, leader of the Communist Transnistrian Party. In the first circular almost 59% of the eligible people went to the urns. Szewczuk scored nearly 40%, Kamiński nearly 27%, Smirnow over 25%, leader of communists over 5%. In the second circular attendance was over 52%. Szewczuk clearly won, gaining over 75%.
Evgeny Shevczuk as president rapidly fell into conflict with many groups. It proved to be an ineffective policy in both the economy and abroad policy. The 2016 presidential election was held. The election won Wadim Krasnosielski with a score of 63.52%, which allowed to win already in the first round. Krasnosielski reigns until today.
Scansane Myth
The Transnistrian Republic of Moldova is shown in Polish-language media as a museum of communism. Yes, there are monuments. Vladimir Lenin, however, it is besides hard to identify elements related to communism. On the left bank of Dniestr during the period of the collapse of the USSR, organizations were active, claiming to remember the victims of Stalinism (this did not rise interest in the Nadwiślan media, as it was about repression against Russians and Russian-speaking people). In the magazine “East” on TVP Polonia, I watched the accounts of the exhumation of the victims of Stalinism. There was an authoritative from Tiraspol and a student from the university there. A disoriented viewer might get the impression that events are most likely happening in Ukraine. Watching interviews with Wadi Krasnosielski, we will see in his office symbols of the Russian Empire, not symbols of the USSR (in Kranosielski's office there is simply a figure Catherine the Great – demonized in Polish-language media, who wanted to have a soft protectorate over Poland; the main ringleader of the partitions were Prussia supporting the organization of “patriots”).
Ukrainian threats
With the launch of peculiar Military Operations, the situation around the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova besides began to get hotter. Already in April 2022, the Kiev government threatened Transnistria, repeatedly declared the anticipation of conducting an operation against it, if only the government Mai Sandu He'll ask for help. all now and then, the situation around this unrecognized country is getting tense. As of January 2024, the authorities in Chisinau strengthened customs control as regards the flow of goods from the left bank of the Dniester. all erstwhile in a while, there is an escalation in energy issues between Chishinov and Tyraspol. Chisinau is trying to bring an economical disaster with Kiev in the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova.
Election game
At the occasion of this year's parliamentary elections in Moldova, media related to the authorities in Tiraspol encouraged the citizens of the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova holding a Moldovan passport to vote as never before. I follow the Transnistrian media and this year's parliamentary elections in Moldova have given more attention than last year's presidential election. Moldovan authorities have done everything to make it hard for people surviving on the left side of the Dniester to participate in the elections. There were open falsifications. I have followed the results of the Moldovan parliamentary elections live (the Moldovan equivalent of PKW has a much better side and can turnout and live follow results). Without doubt, on the left side of the Dniestr there are people who are opposed to the politics of the authorities in Tiraspol, but it is simply a top 10-15% (after the results of the 1st commission, in which the left side of the Dniestr voted clearly led the Action and Action organization of Sandu). After the election, the erstwhile president of Ukraine began threatening residents of the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova Vladimir Zelenski. On November 17, 2025, he died Ilie Ilașcuwho was convicted of the execution of 2 officials and a number of another political crimes by a court in Tyrol. After his release, he was a senator for the large Romania Party, buried with military honors in Bucharest. president Maia Sandu declared mourning in Moldova over the death of this character.
Russian support
Parliamentary elections were held in the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova on 30 November that year. Many well-known Russian politicians called for participation in the election process, as Konstantin Zatulin (Vice-President of the Duma on contacts with CIS countries and contacts with citizens of the Russian Federation abroad) or Viacheslav Nikonov (wnuk Viacheslawa Molotov, First Vice-President of the global Affairs Commission). Russian media devote much attention to the election on the left bank of the Dniestr. For comparison, TVP Vilnius led a run against the politicians of the Polish Electoral Action in Lithuania – the Union of Christian Families before last year's parliamentary elections in Lithuania. TVP Vilnius should support the Polish group and monitor anti-polonism and harmful actions by Lithuanian parties. Only the associate Andrzej Zapalowski He pointed out this to the disgraceful actions of TVP Vilnius.
Transnistrian elections
The election saw low attendance. Only 26.01% of those entitled to vote went to the polls. There were respective factors to the low attendance. Since 2014, the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova has been experiencing economical problems due to the fact that Ukraine is no longer a friendly neighbour towards Transnistria. The economical situation deteriorated even before 2022. Residents of this region went to work not only to the Russian Federation, but besides to our homeland (in 2019 a close associate of my household went on vacation to Moldova, confederate Ukraine and the Transnistrian Republic of Moldova and sent me photos from Tyrol with advertisements ‘Rabota in Poland’. On the another hand, especially after 2022, the political strategy in Transnistria was centralized and opposition, especially the communists, had a more hard field of action (communists had many legitimate demands, but attention should be paid to the environment, location, legal position of the area – in order to conclude that many legitimate demands are not feasible).
Escalating
New Prime Minister of Moldova after October parliamentary elections became Alexandru Munteanu (It besides has a Romanian passport and a US passport). The second word of office of Wadim Krasnosielski ends in spring (so the question of who will be his successor and in what direction will the policy of the separatist republic go). The situation in this region should be followed, as possible escalation of tension may besides affect the destiny of our homeland.
