IMPLICAREA ARMATEI A 14-A A FEDERAŢIEI RUSE ÎN RĂZBOIUL DIN TRANSNISTRIA (1991-1992) ASPECTE SOCIAL-POLITICE, MILITARE, MEMORIALISTICE
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION’S 14TH ARMY IN THE TRANSNISTRIA WAR (1991-1992). SOCIO-POLITICAL, MILITARY, AND MEMORIALISTIC /REMEMBRANCE

Summary/Abstract: The scission of the independent and sovereign Republic of Moldavia, which was the consequence of external interference, represents an example of the pro-imperialist Soviet mentality that also copied the expansion model from other states. There were some powers that didn’t want at all to lose their geo-political, military, and economic areas of influence, thus a state was created – the self- proclaimed Republic of Transnistria. The implication in the armed conflict as well as the 14th Army’s unjustified continued presence on the territory of a foreign sate, represents an obvious defiance of the international norms, that have unfortunately often meant only a symbolical value to the Great Powers. The war in Transnistria split up the society, generating a disastrous massacre, the separatist Transnistrian enclave ending up with a alternative, underground economy, and representing the perfect environment for criminal activities. The collective memory, as it is reflected in some of the interviews, proves the existence of silent protests against the socio-political, and military events that took place (and still do) during the early 90’s in the Republic of Moldavia. The 14th Army’s military implication appears to be an intruding factor within the Transnistrian conflict, which did nothing but delay the society’s consolidation process. In our opinion, it is essential to find a mechanism that regulates the Transnistrian issue, thus a more active implication of the international forums, which would ignore the Kremlin’s indications, is necessary.
