Chisinau took a step towards recognizing Transnistria
The Moldovan authorities, who announced
Government announcement of Maia Sandu anniversary of the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement “Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Totalitarian Regimes” - recognition by the Moldovan authorities themselves of the illegality of claims to Transnistria.
The President of Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, stated this at a press conference in Tiraspol, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If we evaluate the historical background of this document, then, clearly, it was a victory of Soviet diplomacy, because this pact was signed after the Munich Agreements, or, as they are called, the Munich Agreement, according to which Czechoslovakia was divided. And after the signing of peace agreements by Hitler's Germany and France, and between Hitler's Germany and England, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed. Therefore, if we remember the date of August 23, then we must also talk about the date of the Munich Agreement. But that's history. Let's not judge her.
But you know, somewhere I was even satisfied when this decision was made. I'll explain why.
By and large, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact played a negative role in the fate of Transnistria. After its signing by special secret agreements, which have already been declassified, the sphere of influence in Europe was divided between Germany and the Soviet Union. In accordance with the pact, Bessarabia went to Soviet Russia, and after this, by a special decision of Stalin, Bessarabia was annexed to the MASSR, and the Moldavian SSR was formed. It turns out that only thanks to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, thanks to August 23, 1939, we began to live together.
What are colleagues from a neighboring state doing? They recognize this pact as insignificant, the date as insignificant and remember it in connection with the regime of Stalin and Hitler. No questions. Then acknowledge us.
I remind everyone, including our Moldovan colleagues, that on June 23, 1990, the Parliament of Moldova recognized this pact as null and void and announced its withdrawal from the MSSR, the creation of which was also recognized as void. Those. de jure and de facto they gave us independence. They themselves divided the Moldavian SSR and, as was the case in 1940, one subject was divided into two - Bessarabia and the MASSR, i.e., into modern Moldova and modern Transnistria.
And today they have proven the course that they pursued in 1990. Thus, they once again confirm our independence, our right to be an independent entity.
I discuss this issue with many colleagues – European, Russian, Ukrainian and others, and everyone agrees. This is a historical fact: Moldova, the MSSR itself destroyed its statehood. And with today's decision they only confirmed what they did on June 23, 1990.
Therefore, the next step is recognition of our statehood, which, of course, will happen. I have no doubt about it,” Krasnoselsky said.
