The President congratulated members of the PMR Defenders Union of Tiraspol on the 30th anniversary of the organization

The PMR Defenders Union of Tiraspol celebrated its 30th anniversary. A ceremonial meeting on the occasion of the anniversary was held at the City Palace of Culture. The PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky arrived to congratulate the members of the organization.

“The PMR Defenders Union” in the city of Tiraspol is a public organization that unites 2393 people and is designed to provide assistance and support to the defenders of the republic, as well as to participate in the military-patriotic education of the younger generation. The Union was awarded the Order of Honor in 2009, and the Order of Merit, II degree in 2012, recalled the chairman of the organization Valery Shirkov. He has been heading it since 2021. Valery Shirkov called for a minute of silence to honor the memory of the fallen and deceased comrades, as well as all victims of Moldova’s aggression against peaceful Pridnestrovie. The participants of the solemn meeting delegated representatives of the Union and youth to lay flowers at the graves of the defenders buried at the capital's Memorial of Glory.

Vadim Krasnoselsky, addressing the members of the Union, recalled the historical events that preceded the creation of the Pridnestrovian state, calling “dark time” the period of the collapse of the USSR. He spoke about the uniqueness of the Pridnestrovian people – the only ones who publicly spoke out for the preservation of a single Soviet country.

Vadim Krasnoselsky emphasized, speaking about the defenders of Pridnestrovie: “Who is the defender of Pridnestrovie? This is not just a person with a machine gun. It goes without saying, it is understandable, but a defender is the one who defended the Motherland at his workplace –  teaching children, saving from illness, from death, serving in the army, in law enforcement agencies, and one who ensured the functionality of the state. They are all essentially protectors. All Pridnestrovians are defenders to one degree or another. We love our Motherland, wish prosperity to Pridnestrovie, wish it recognition, raise children, develop, create jobs, maintain peace, conduct a complex dialogue at various international platforms... Now is a difficult time. But you have to go through it too. The truth is on our side. There will be recognition of Pridnestrovie. The Pridnestrovian people deserve it. Defenders in addition to protecting the Motherland are responsible for passing on experience and knowledge to the younger generation. We need to talk about the Soviet Union, and about the formation of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, and about the people of Pridnestrovie, about why the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic was created and how it was defended.”

The President congratulated the organization members on the holiday. The most distinguished were awarded state awards for their great contribution to the protection and development of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, active social activities, many years of conscientious work, and in connection with the 30th anniversary of the formation of “The PMR Defenders Union” public organization in Tiraspol.
