May 2, 2022 Rene Wadlow, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Transnistria is de facto independent with many state-like attibutes and calls itself officially the Moldovian Republic of Dniestr.  However, no other state, including the Russian Federation has recognized it as an independent state.  There are, however, some 1500 Russian military permanently present in Transnistria.  Transnistria had some 706, 000 inhabitants in 1991 at the time of the breakup of the Soviet Union.  Today, there are some 450,000 - probably less.  Many, especially young people, have left to study or work abroad.  Many in Transnistria have Russian passports in order to travel.  The Transnistrian economy is in the hands of a small number of persons closely linked to the government.

By Brianna Lee in International Business Times - An estimated 20,000 protesters gathered in Moldova’s capital of Chisinau for the eighth consecutive day Sunday to rally for an investigation into a fraud scheme that wiped $1.5 billion from three national banks. Protesters say the scandal, which amounted to around one-eighth of the country’s gross domestic product, has damaged living standards. Hundreds of demonstrators have remained camped out in Chisinau’s central plaza since the protests organized by civic group Dignity and Truth began on Sept. 6. Many say they will stay until their demands are met. In addition to a bank probe, protesters are calling for the resignation of President Nicolae Timofti and early parliamentary elections in March as anger over endemic corruption in the impoverished former Soviet country hits its boiling point.

By Alec Luhn in The Guardian - Several protesters have been detained after tens of thousands of protesters in Moldova took to the streets of the capital to demand the dissolution of the new government following corruption scandals. Demonstrators gathered on Great National Assembly Square in downtown Chișinău on Sunday to call for the resignation of the president, Nicolae Timofti, early elections and punishment for those responsible for widespread embezzlement. Organisers claimed 100,000 people had attended the demonstrations, which were ongoing on Sunday evening, while police put the number at 35,000-40,000. The protest is the largest such action in the former Soviet republic, which has been one of the poorest countries in Europe since its independence movement in the early 1990s. Clashes broke out with police at the prosecutor general’s headquarters, where activists attempted to set up an occupy-style tent encampment.
