«Transdniestria is expected to have a great mystical future!»

 

Roman Konoplev & Dmitrii Soïn

Roman Konoplev interviewed one of the most scandalous «drab cardinals» of Transdniestria.

D.S. – is the legendary figure of the Transdniestria political bomond. In 1990 had founded first non – communist youth organization «Russkaja pesnya», after that in the middle of the 90-th he was got into the anthology «Extremists and Russian extremist organizations», that was established by Proshechkin.

In time the present Moldavian president Voronin had the dull appearance in front of him and “the hands on the hood”, when he had been detained in the town Bendery in 1998. At that time the leader of Moldavian communists was perspiring abundantly, was swearing in fidelity to the Ministry of Governmental Security and was begging of him for letting him go home. For that, and not only, as he had become a president, he enrolled Soin in private enemies.

Dmitriy went through several attempts on his life. Till nowadays he belongs to “the list on annihilation”, that was compiled by Moldavian special services, he is reported to be the director of Transdniestrian branch of The Soviet of the National Strategy, he is the associate professor of The Transdniestrian University’s department of politology and sociology, the major of the MGS, journalist and political technologist, who practices yoga and meditation. He hadn’t lost any election campaign. Even when had to excoriate local oligarchs. Recent years Soin has been generating new generation of Transdniestrian politicians. The most ambitious and successful media projects are ascribed to him.

Two days, a few hours in traffic: television, private offices of the Ministry of Governmental Security, the bank of the river Dniestr, the University’s lecture halls…The result is in front of you.

R. K.: - What is it – Transdniestria?

D. S.: - Transdniestria – is the place, where geopolitical interests of the West, of the East, and of the North and of the South are simultaneously coincided and clashed. It has been taking place for ages yet. Everybody dreamt to grasp this tempting morsel: in the past Tatar hordes were nomads here, the North of the Republic was the part of the Polish – Lithuanian Principality, to the South of the river Jagorlyk - Turks dominated. Ukrainian Cossacks were situated here for a long time. Then had arrived the earl Suvorov and with one successful bayonet blow he closed the books on the Transdniestrian question for almost 200 years. The collapse of the Eurasian quasyimpire – The USSR once again “tightened the Transdniestrian knot up to limit.’ The reasons, according to which the fights for the territory of Transdniestria by no means weaken, are clearly understandable: The TMR Is one of the vital centers of Eurasia. The possession of this center in spite of its small territory and insignificant number of population gives the right to pretend on the role of Eurasian empire. The Balkans, The Northern Black Sea coast and The Carpathians, and The Crimea are turned to be easy ranged from Tiraspol… Geopolitical axis “Moscow – Kiev – Belgrade” is impossible without participating of The TMR. Outstretching along the left bank of the river Dniestr attaches to Transdniestria geostrategic values and permits to control transport nets on line “Asia – The Balkans. If somebody doesn’t want eastern Slaves to reduce to the marginalious ethno-religious group, then among the others they are needed to crowd out of Transdniestria. And untrifling interest to the region from the direction of The USA and NATO is by no means accidental.

- The president Smirnov – is he politician of the past or of the future?

- He is the politician of the present that is directed toward the future. Your promulgation states your position as the president Smirnov is a politician of “the period of Jelzin” and I don’t agree with this point of view. Yes, he operated in that period of time, but he differed qualitatively from the so-called “Society of reorganization. Even if that thing, that he fought for conservation of the great Motherland, and exactly this way of thinking was very unpopular and dangerous in Jelzin’s epoch. As distinct from the absolute major of political leaders on the post soviet space, Smirnov didn’t have top-level-political roots, contacts with Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), he wasn’t a part of the party elite. There were many presidents: Shevardnadze, Kravchuk, Aliev, and again the president of Moldova Voronin - is the person originally from the party top-level. Smirnov – is from another surroundings. He is manufacturer. It’s, probably, in keeping with new generation of Russian governors. In time exactly that thing that he wasn’t a top-level unit saved him from defeats. After all party top-level thinking paralyzes frequently the political will. I suppose that Smirnov was always considered to think in such way: that the base of politics is economics, and that the independence of Moldova must be confirmed by welfare of citizens. That’s why, at any price, even in conditions of economic blockade, the standard of living in Transdniestria will always be higher rather than in Moldova. That fact that Smirnov is the person of Jelzin’s epoch confirms his originality, his inborn intuition – he is extremely far not only from close ties of party functionary, city-committees, regional-committees, he is far from PR-technologies, which dragged more dead than alive Jelzin on the political arena of the end of the 90-th. As for the time – they are people of one epoch. As for the qualitative content – they are not. Try to remember how submitting to PR-technologists with the crushed heart had to dance and to swing on child’s swings… Smirnov would never afford it.

For many long years Igor Nikolaevich is the political embodiment of the Republic, he had been created the Republic. From the point of political metaphysic’s view, his mission will be ended with the recognition of the Transdniestria. But inasmuch as the struggle may last a long time, in front of the Transdniestrian elite is appeared the question about acceptable mechanisms of the power’s transmission. However, both today and tomorrow – Smirnov will be the brightest figure in Republic. Have a look, who thirst now for the power? To whom we may entrust? To Buchatski, who lied down under Kishinev, and became friends with the terrorist Sh. Uritu? «The Independent Moldova» publishes his libels; he is like a “Vlasovets” at the enemy’s camp with them there. Or to the “Communist” Radchenko, that is similar to Bulgakov’s Sharikov? Or, may be, to Saphonov that, by the way, is the most intellectual and decent from the brilliant assemblage of oppositionists-figures, but in the process he publishes his newspaper using American money, and he doesn’t conceal it? Try to remember all the elections of the past. There always is the certain power that finances oppositionists of Smirnov. And, as we see, it’s without results. Every president has his own mission. Smirnov – will discharge sooner or later his own mission – he will achieve the recognition of the sovereignty of our Republic.

In Transdniestria lives a great quantity of honest people; they support our leadership and president, but not at all. However, by their own will, they don’t go to the opposition, only for that reason that their actions may play into the hands of the absolute enemy – Moldova. Transdniestrians are very wise people and they understand that it’s not time for inside squabbles. However, there is another problem. Many officials cover up their actions by our Republic. There are degenerates. There is a corruption and stealing. If you disturb such a person – you’ll hear squeal: “you destroy the Republic”. Such is the law of genre, that heroes don’t become officials. Heroes of the war and those people, who were in trenches, weren’t “able to nudge and to shout: “give me, give me…” Now frequently their families live in utter poverty. But they clearly understand that our Republic feel hard and it’s necessary to tolerate. And somewhere at high offices these flour worms went out. During the war they were basking in the sun in Zatoka and learned the Romanian language just in case. It’s necessary to crash them. If we don’t do it, they will turn our republic into a moldering stump. For being in such a way it’s not difficult to do it. It’s enough for example, to repeat regularly with clever appearance, that our recognition is impossible. And it’s in the process of that literally one year ago to the UNO was accepted a small separatist island – Eastern Timor, that is populated by aborigines. Or we are diligently lied by them, so as our people to lose the belief in recognition of the Republic. After all for existence of the Transdniestria is extremely important, what kind of social opinion dominates in our region.

- What things are not enough for the Transdniestria?

- Actually, the problem is that economics isn’t in a position to substitute for politics completely. Harsh information war takes place, and the Transdniestria suffocates from the shortage of ammunition. For example, there are books about events in Bendery, History textbooks, memories. But where are: fiction, hits, cult novels, and profound philosophic works? It’s not enough of professional television transmissions, political talk shows. We start to spin around. Not everybody understand that even if in Moldova be relieved of 150 presidents – Moldova will remain the recognized state – Moldova. In Transdniestria is enough of some strategic mistakes and the state will terminate its existence. It’s necessary to remember that we aren’t recognize, then we may start up all the mechanisms of political industry, including corruptional scandals and exposures, and so on. Today it will kill the Republic. I would like to argue with certain analysts on their put forward ideas of changing of the Transdniestrian elites. For example, with Saenko. You know, they, these elites, have just formed and didn’t end their structuring. Ore likely on the contrary, it’s necessary to help. On my opinion, have come the time to transform exactly political paradigm. And that’s why… The time of the classic politics has gone. Apparently, mainly because of the political titans, such as: Lenin, Mussolini, Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Gundy and so forth world eminent figures have become extinct. They were taken place of the big guns, jesters, saxophonists, erotomans, and swindlers… Filling pockets and fooling around in their own pleasure they had thought that dull masses would swallow all the things, but it wasn’t so. The crowd saw through them quickly and stopped to participate in political appearance on voting districts is actual both on the West and on the East. And in Transdniestria – too. The referendum about the ground was shamefully failed; not because of the mass’s sluggishness, but because of the false understanding its history of Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin showed that real politicians might be dangerous. They are fanatic and carry threat. They ere decided to replace by the puppets. From one extreme they fell into other. And the show was failed. In major countries they have already reduced the appearance on the elections to 25 %. That is to say 12 – 13 % of general number of citizens solve fate of nation and of the country. By Pelevin, it’s turned out that “politics and politicians – it’s television transmission”. I practically share this opinion at all. Long ago we haven’t seen alive people, but only image masks delivering speeches of the same type. But today people don’t want to watch political TV-transmissions. They want to watch Nagiev, Hanga and other apologists of dirty laundry and of sexual perversion. On emanating from this, political conventions, conferences, meetings for the increasing of appearance and of interest are needed to dilute by striptease, fashion-show and free of charge distribution of contraceptive devices and syringes… The masses and especially, the youth will react, but it will sign the total collapse of classic political culture. Look, politicians – it’s the sect of ambitious, greedy, lustful and, by the way, of boring subjects. Gay persons are voted for because they amuse people – the phenomenon of Jirinovski is the most successful as an example. Due to it, most often, artists, show-stars and others are elected on responsible posts. The USA wondered the world with its governor Schwarzenegger. Why not Russia doesn’t wonder the world with the president Kirkorov? All of the high-ranking class has also turned into the sect of protestant sense. They even get dressed like the Iegova’s witnesses – grey coats, ties and so on. They have their own language, surroundings, and dispositions. They are: standardization and incubatoration all over. There are its own rituals, ceremonies. They aren’t understandable by youth, the middle class doesn’t understand it too, and little old men vote only by inertia, for the last full life, and swindlers of Voronin’s type take advantage of it. They hang out Communist flag, worm their way into the big politics and get rich on it till limitless scales.

Degeneration is accelerated by food of high caloric content, non-active way of life, alcohol, drugs and new tendencies, such as: sodomy and pedophilia. Contemporary politicians perfectly feel, who is their, and who is – someone else’s. And sensibly fearing of themselves, they delete and eliminate foreign people.

In this connection our problem is to try to generate ideology of the Postmodern, exactly in Transdniestria, it’s ideology of the 3-d Millennium. We have the base for it. The Republic was founded by alive real politicians, by leaders that have been nominated on 1-st roles by the masses and epoch. We cannot permit them to take the place of gutta-percha’s puppets, which are submitted to impulses of large marginal capital. Unique republic must be controlled by unique real figures-persons, but not talking heads, whose provincialism and foolishness breaks through covers of bought diploma and academic degrees. We need to prove to the whole world that the Transdniestria is unique and it presents the pattern of democratic formation in the newest history its own sovereignty. From “outpost” and “line” Transdniestria must turn into the “bridge” between differentiating for the time being parts of forming Eurasian space.

Now the difference between the TMR and the same Bryansk area isn’t so great. But exactly the TMR is able to beget something new... Only military aggression of the major world players can destroy natural process of the Transdniestrian development.

- But the opportunity isn’t excepted?

- Unfortunately, no. American roller is started up… It is so huge that it’s able to overwhelm, practically, any country, even consisting of many millions. And if it is concerned with the last USSR’s space, then the roller will go against all the Russian enclaves. Transdniestria is the most organizationally formed among them. Bad forecasts may become truth. Of course, there are some hopes, related with Russia. But, as for me, I treat to it with great caution, as far as today Russia isn’t in that condition to be integrated into all social, political, economic and military-strategic charts of the West. The claim on participating in military maneuvers with NATO is the serious signal that provokes the reconsideration of geopolitical paradigm. The model of “Freedom’s island” will make us too vulnerable. What is more, attempt to be more sacred, than Russia in hopeless fight with NATO may cause irritation and desire of too much zealous ally’s destroying in the same Moscow. In general, e can say that the necessity of geopolitical and information strategy’s correcting have ripened or, may be, have become overripe.

- What are perspectives, connected with relations with Russia and the other world?

- I’ve already told it and, may be, I will repeat myself. Recent 14 years we positioned ourselves as the outpost of Russia. It’s the reason why we’re still in the most complicated relations with the West. And for today it’s too late to change something in this sphere – anyway, the West won’t support the Republic, even if stop to present itself as “outpost”. It goes without saying that oriented toward Russia, we must look for outlets to western direction – we can’t work out without it. In any case we must resolve here problems o our safety, to the extent that it’s senselessly to wage guerilla war on the Transdniestrian territory. And who will agree to play guerilla’s role? Of course, and in future we will develop contacts with Russia to the maximum. We wish Transdniestria became that territory, where are harmonized to the maximum interests of the West and of the East. With regard to the strategy of “inter-civilized bridge” is perspective. It will be realized only with the condition of separate coexistence with Moldova. While Voronin is still having power, any contacts with Kishinev and any conversations about federalization are simply dangerous. After overthrow Voronin’s tyranny Moldova will have to treat from the small-town’s national communism and totalitarianism approximately for 10 years. I think, that Romanians will cope with it best of all. They have a very rich experience. Let’s try to remember Ceausescu. We must be independent with guarantees of Russia, Ukraine and OSCE. There are not big and independent prospering states – for example, Switzerland. Transdniestria may become a spiritual Switzerland – the country with unique values and universal out-block ideology. As for Dalai Lama, he doesn’t control any territory, but his ideological influence is sensed in the whole world. We can say that he realized idea of “Spirit’s State”. Dalai Lama is the world-recognized leader, although Tibet’s territory – I hope – is temporarily occupied by China. And somebody doesn’t occupy us and that’s why we’re free to generate our own model of geopolitical positioning.

- Certain religious organizations maintain, that in Transdniestria is founded the Republic “of yogis and magicians”. But Soin is mentioned as one of guides of this idea. Is it real?

- Actually, such information took place in different sites and even filtered into the press. Inasmuch as I am not a guide of such ideas, then I prepare judicial lawsuits for that people, which have established this disinformation of mass media.

Our region is orthodox region, but only not in religious sphere, but in social-cultural sense. In Republic are approximately 60% of believers, among which some of them – 70-75 % - are considered to be orthodox people. Absolute major of these people doesn’t go to Temples, doesn’t keep the posts, doesn’t confess and doesn’t receive communion. However, by virtue of age-old tradition they are considered to be orthodox people. And it’s good. Possibly, someday these people will come into temples and will start to live in-church life. Conversations about “The Republic of Yogis and Magicians” carry on representatives of the so-called religious busyness – feel the ground slipping from beneath their feet. A whole series of corruptional scandals, appearance in criminal affairs, stories about widespread in that circles sodomy incited pseudo-religious figures to fight against the state. For example, we have our own Lev Tolstoy – it’s Peter Alexandrovich Zalojkov – President’s authorized in the field of affaires of religions and cults; he was excommunicated. Imagine, Lenin as the main god-fighter of the past wasn’t excommunicated, and Zalojkov that had done a great deal for rebirth of theology was appeared outside the Church. And the problem is only concluded in that in the state attended to bring out into the open the Church’s commercial activity, they wanted to make them pay taxes of economic activity as in every civilized state. They have sneaked into politics. People in cassocks have appeared in social organizations. You know, politics is dirty busyness and if people are truly spiritual people they won’t sneak into it. With the exception of cases, when, for example, it’s necessary to appeal people for defense of country or for something great and national. They were started to remove from feeding through, and were striken in dirty hands, just at that moment, when they were ready to proclaim the clerical state. That’s why certain businessmen in cassocks took up with black PR. In these ravings that consists of wails about neopaganism, Satanism and other nonsenses, that aren’t characteristic to Transdniestria, is concentrated all the pagan priests pain of lost million prophets, Mercedeses, contacts, repasts and et cetera.

From my point of view, present religious identification doesn’t have a serious future. Are left only splint signboards, cliche. Russian – then he is orthodox. Arab – then he is Moslem. Such stereotypes are artificially imposed. I doubt whether it’s freedom in total meaning of this world. It’s worth overcoming it. Division by religious indication lead to the most bloodshedful wars. Even now when person contrary to religious dogmas took off, took a step to outer space and get ready for new epochal breakthroughs, there are fanatics, which are ready for killing in the name of their own god. They are absolutely quiet and calmly directed by smart operations of religious business, which get enormous financial and political dividends. In Transdniestria religious extremism won’t pass, in consideration of people’s and their leader’s character.

We really have yoga’s clubs. There are representatives of creative intelligence, students… But yoga is fate of few people. It needs everyday exercises, sometimes an observation of diet, refusal from smoking and alcohol. That’s why in Republic with wine-cognac production forming of “State of Yogis and Magicians” is impossible. Consequently, there is no such aim. From the point of view of making healthier of people, of course, yoga is ideal. For example, my ability to work really depends on fulfillment of exercises. I’ll tell for especially zealous opponents of yoga, that at first in kindergarten, then in army and in major fitness-clubs yoga is presented as gymnastics. So, if had been plot of yogis, then it had been realized in planetary scale long ago. Anyway, I don’t advice you to jump out of the window with the scream: “Yogi have coming!!!” Yogis don’t come; they sit in position of Lotus… But to say seriously, then yoga proclaims healthy principles: asceticism, non-making money, and refusal from stereotypes, going out beyond the limits of national, religious, social bounds. It’s not bad for the 3-d Millennium.

- What is the Transdniestrian place in Europe?

- If we talk eurasianess as about conception, then as we know there s Western eurasianess –Tiriar, and- Gumilev. The problems are in that: existing continent Eurasia in time might turn into space, that competing with the USA. But today Eurasia is artificially divided into segments. Atmosphere of hostility was created and it’s very difficult to reconcile Russia and Europe, Russia and China. It’s extremely necessary to generate new, above-national and above-religious ideology, thanks to what every inhabitant of the continent could identify himself as “Eurasian”. Eurasian tendencies are favorable for Transdniestria, and if political, economic and cultural Eurasia had been created – TMR would have harmonically enrolled in it. Here Catholics and orthodox have been coexisting for a long time, are conserved all indications of Turkic civilization’s presence – and all of it situated on a very small territory. Unrecognized Republic is on the junction of civilizations… Perhaps, Transdniestria would start to generate a certain Eurasian ideology. I would welcome and in every way contribute to creation of such structure as Institute of Eurasianess in Transdniestria. Exactly here we need to form the base for Eurasian expansion. Today the USA suppresses sprouts of Eurasianess. And Transdniestria has unpleasantness with the USA, because Transdniestria has a Eurasian potential that in a certain sense is higher, then in Russia.

- Could you characterize key threats for Transdniestria?

I would single out geopolitical, military-strategic, economic, information and demographic threats. If we examine geopolitical actor of threats, then we’ll see that on the first place is collision of the West and Russia’s interests. Unfortunately, Russia lose it’s own positions, but its opponents are interested in liquidation of TMR in either way. The West is ready to close their eyes on the Voronin’s communist regime in Moldova, on absence of proper democratic rights and liberties there. And it’s only due to course of integration into Europe and NATO that proclaimed by Voronin. Western people don’t notice that they are lied by him in the same way as Russia. His aim – is consolidation of his private power and that’s all. If we look through economics – then we’ll see, that here we should note that Transdniestrian blockade isn’t stopped now. Every day it brushes off meager crumbs from the tables of Transdniestrian budgetists and pensioners. Republic is forced to sell all strategic fields immediately and to increase fiscal burden of middle and minor businessmen for the support of non-propertied strata of the population. All these things belong to the so-called unpopular measures and are fraught with serious social dangers. If we look through military factor, then we’ll say that we don’t except aggression from NATO. For example, they can do it under signboard of peace-making operation. Military threat becomes more real day after day. By the way, certain forces connected with the West inside Moldova can take the step of provocations and terracts and to accuse Tiraspol of it. And then they will try to go to “world association” for help. Of course, we don’t panic. It’s war of nerves.

We are accused of commerce by weapon, contraband goods and so on without any evidence. They form the so-called information gasket under possible power action. From my point of view there is unprecedented information war with using all the arsenal of newest technologies. And we need to respond to these challenges with dignity. As we remember the tragedy in Adjaria, not a last role in such conflicts plays psychological influence on leader. They needed him to make mistakes, to make wrong decision. However, such a variant won’t come about here.

Important factor of threats is aging of Transdniestrian population. In Republic there aren’t enough working places, entertainment sphere is poor, because there is economic blockade. That’s why the youth is more bored in Tiraspol, than in Moscow. We increase basic resource, connected with providing of State Security. But we shouldn’t save on the youth.

- What’s your opinion about federalization of Moldova?

- I’m afraid of show myself to be banal, but Moldova’s federalization is, in fact, impossible. Federalization – is one of myths, using what international structures get money and they steal themselves this money. If we try to remember 1940 year, then we’ll say that at that time the MSSR was created by ukase of Stalin, but it was Stalin himself. Today there is another matter. And differences between Moldova and Transdniestria are increasing. For example, the RM as State has found according to ethnic principle – ethnocracy. And we have internationalism and civil identification.

They have Romanian educational standards and we – Russian. They had bone privatization, we – auction. They want to integrate into Europe, we – into orthodox fraternity. And these aren’t all the differences. In the end we even have various cultural basics. I’m agree with S. Belkovski that federalization is possible between Bessarabia and Romania with leaving of Gagausia under Turkish protectorate and it will successfully fall into conception of “panturkism”. And Transdniestria, including Bendery and series of other Transdniestrian territories on the right bank of Dniestr will get status of not big independent Republic under Russian protectorate. In consideration of new geopolitical realies ES could participate in the project under conditional name “Independent Transdniestria”, but not on NATO’s tanks. As for me, I’m for Europe, beginning from Dublin to Vladivostok. There is a place for our country. With great respect to Gumilev – I’m for European Tiriar. By its definition, federalization is voluntary unification, voluntary union. And if unification is under duress, it’s not federalization, but it’s occupation.

- What future do you see in Transdniestria?

- Judging by sources of orthodox sits – in future will be “The Republic of Yogis and Magicians”. The Shamble’s light is possible not only in Tybet – but it ‘s possible in Tiraspol, or in the Transdniestrian region of Kamenka. Of course, it’s a joke…

But and it’s obviously the other. Here are unusual people, unusual territory. Here will be Center of new ideology’s generation – generation of the 3-d Millennium’s ideology. You know, exactly here have already surmounted national, religious and other conflicts. Transdniestria will have a great mystical future. And if we don’t want to have big disappointments, we won’t think about final result. After all there is no worst thing as unrealized hopes. The main thing is: to believe and to work.

We protect Republic because we simply live here!

Dmitriy Soin: “We don’t have a right to leave Russia along in its dialogue with West”

 
Interview with Dmitriy Soin, the director of Che Guevara High School of Political Leadership, the chairman of Pridnestrovian branch of the Russian National Strategy Council, the candidate of sociological sciences.


- Why do we celebrate Day of Russia? Dmitriy Yurievich, how close is this
holiday for Pridnestrovian people?

- The answer is obvious. First of all, because Pridnestrovie is the Russian land, people who live here are Russian and it doesn’t matter of what nationality they are, they dream about uniting with their great Motherland – Russia. That’s why all the holidays that are celebrated in Russia today are urgent for us, especially 12th of June. And of course it is a well known fact that Tiraspol was founded and created thanks to Great Russian Commnder Suvorov in accordance with the decree of Empress Catherine II. Perspectives and prosperity of this region has always been connected only with Russia.


- How did the idea of celebrating the Day of Independence of Russia in Pridnestrovie appear?

- It happened in 2005. On the 1st of June 2005, as you remember, International Youth Corporation “PRORIV!” was founded. When the organization was only 12 days, it made up its mind to celebrate such a serious holiday as Day of Russia. It was not usual for Pridnestrovie, especially all those mass meetings, conferences. “PRORIV!” managed then to organize auto race under flags of Russian Federation. Besides young activists were giving people bandages of the color of Russian flag, calendars with writings “We – Russia”. While communicating with Tiraspol citizens and all Pridnestrovians, young people were reminding them that Russia is our common Motherland and we should make maximum efforts not to be cut off Russian Federation.


- What actions will be held this year on the 12th of June?

- The holiday will be celebrated for the 3rd time and it will include several parts. Firstly, the traditional auto race. Tens of cars decorated with Russian flags will drive along the streets of the capital of PMR. At the same time young people will be giving people bandages and calendars with Russian flag on them. Ceremonial concert is planned for the evening near the cinema “Tiraspol”. I’m sure that this holiday will find a warm response in Tiraspol citizens, in hearts of all Pridnestrovian people, because the theme of our integration with Russia is really urgent today. We think that it is our Pridnestrovian holiday. And even more: I don’t exclude that “PRORIV!” will initiate celebration of this holiday in PMR as national holiday. The Corporation and Party plan to appeal to President and Supreme Council on this matter.



- Today we can’t help discussing social and political situation in the Republic. Representatives of some political Parties declare that it is really complicated, tense, remembering the year of 1992. Several days ago there was information on different portals that on the 10th of June at the summit of Commonwealth of independent States, just before the Day of Independence, Russia “ceremonially gives up Pridnestrovie”. Who is interested in such disinformation and how do you estimate social and political situation in the Republic?

- It can be advantageous for Moldova. It is Republic of Moldova which is interested in destabilizing the situation, that’s why it uses disinformation. Slander to our address is a common thing. I think that any agreements “on Pridnestrovie” can’t be signed because of several reasons – political and because of international rights (speaking about “5+2” format of solving Moldo-Pridnestrovian conflict). They understand in Moscow that there was a Referendum in Pridnestrovie last year, during which more then 97% o Pridnestrovians voted for union with Russia and for building absolutely independent state. How can anybody speak about any agreements on Pridnestrovian question without asking Pridnestrovie’s people? Such ideas are unpromising and irrelevant. Chisinau is interested in this informational throws. This theme is appearing through mass media and journalists, who were well-paid. This doesn’t stabilize the situation, social and political degree is growing. I do not exclude that if there will be another blockade, I speak about blockade of import in Pridnestrovie, it will lead to destabilizing situation in the Republic.


- What, in your opinion, caused rumours about resignation of President Igor Smirnov?


- These are the elements of one chain. First there is some information, that agreements will be signed behind Pridnestrovie, afterwards information comes about resignation of the President. It is made to make people be not sure in the future, to make elite fight for power, to lower prestige and administrative and political status of the head of the state. This information has no grounds: there are no declarations of the President, there aren’t any declarations of his most close people. So these ideas are generated in a propagandistic Department of Moldova with the help from the West, which directs and designs today all Moldovan propaganda.


- Are such often visits of the Americans connected with this informational volleys to our side?


- In fact, Western structures together with Moldova follow a well-known scenario of preparing color revolution. It includes massive disinformation, talks about signing some secret plan in accordance with which Pridnestrovie will become part of Moldova, talks about resignation of the President. Afterwards a shuttle diplomacy begins, when different officials of diplomatic and administrative rank come. They negotiate with non governmental organizations, journalists of different media about further cooperation. The only thing that can prevent this – is consolidation of elite with people in understanding that we can provide rights and freedoms of the citizens only if we have our own statehood. Just imagine what will happen if Pridnesrtrovie will suddenly disappear tomorrow, if we will exist in Moldova where they were ceremonially meeting terrorists from “Buzhor” (“Peony”) group. They were met as heroes, but they are the very people who killed Pridnestrovians in 1992. You can still watch language, ethnic discrimination in Moldova. If we don’t have a protection mechanism like our own statehood, all these things will happen here.


- What should be the reaction of civil society?


- There many different ways to resist to the order that is forced from outside. These can be protest actions, magic political shows and just disagreement with the visiters from the West.


- Speaking about pressing of Pridnestrovie, will the Ukraine take part in the next blockade of Pridnestrovie?


- It is, of course, rather a specific question for diplomats. Never the less, as a political scientist I can say: Ukraine will of course take part in it partially, because it can’t help taking into account the opinion of Moldova, European Union, USA, who press it seriously. Moreover, there is a division in the Ukraine: Presidential vertical is orientated to the West; the Cabinet and Supreme Rada – in the eastern Patriotic direction. Split inside the Ukraine influences of course Pridnestrovie. I think that the Ukraine won’t follow all the terms that Moldova proposes, but still we will probably have problems with import.


- How appropriate are the talks about changing peacekeeping format in PMR, what is your opinion?


- Western diplomats have become very active in this question, so these talks are more then appropriate. The question is how justified are they? On the one hand Russia is seriously pressed in the theme about changing peacekeeping format in Pridnestrovie. But on the other hand we don’t have a right to leave Russia along with its dialogue with the West. Pridnestrovie must actively express its opinion and to emphasize, that only Russian peacekeepers can be here. Thanks to them Dniester banks live in peace. NATO peacekeepers couldn’t provide peace neither in Kosovo, nor in other places.

La Russie ne sera pas le "supplément gratuit" du bouclier antimissile américain (armée)

 

MOSCOU, 28 novembre - RIA Novosti. L'Etat-major général des forces armées russes a rejeté mercredi les propositions écrites de Washington en matière de défense antimissile comme destinées à faire des installations russes un "supplément gratuit" des sites américains déployés en Europe de l'Est.

"Nous n'avons vu rien de neuf dans ces propositions. Peut-on en effet parler de propositions constructives si l'on propose à la Russie de devenir le supplément gratuit de la troisième zone de positionnement du bouclier antimissile américain?" a déclaré à la presse le chef de l'Etat-major Iouri Balouïevski.

En citant le proverbe "Le chien aboie, la caravane passe", le général russe a souligné que la Russie ne pouvait pas accepter le rôle du chien.

Plus tôt, le ministre russe des Affaires étrangères, Sergueï Lavrov, se disait "déçu" par les propositions écrites des Etats-Unis en matière de défense antimissile, tout en soulignant que la Russie ne renonçait pas dialogue avec Washington.

Les Etats-Unis demandent à la République tchèque et à la Pologne d'accueillir sur leur sol des éléments du bouclier antimissile américain pour parer à d'éventuelles attaques venant d'Iran ou de Corée du Nord. Moscou, se sentant menacé, a exprimé à plusieurs reprises son hostilité envers ce projet malgré les tentatives américaines pour rassurer la Russie.
