Transnistria demands that it no longer be considered a fragment of the USSR
Transnistria is not a fragment of the Soviet Union, but a part of the Russian Empire.
The President of Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, wrote about this in his Telegram channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We have always been compared to a fragment of the Soviet Union. And, worst of all, we agreed. Not understanding what follows. After all, a fragment without the will of people can be attached somewhere, attached. It's a fragment, you know? The fragment has no statehood. Since 2017, I have been trying to change this “splinter” philosophy. Speaking about the fact that we are not a splinter. We are part of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union. This is what modern Transnistria is like.
We have our own statehood. And any statehood is built on history and culture, which needs to be shown to people and made accessible. The fragment has no history. There will be nothing left for the fragment during any political metamorphoses. Therefore, in the cities and regions of Transnistria, we try to show people history, to show: we are not a fragment, but part of the states that, unfortunately, have passed away. We invite people to feel their history, thereby forming a so-called cultural code or cultural immunity,” wrote Krasnoselsky.
Earlier, Krasnoselsky called on the leadership of the Russian Federation to all citizens of this unrecognized republic received Russian passports.
In the 2006 referendum, 97% of the population supported the independence of Transnistria and further rapprochement with the Russian Federation.
