become another former soviet republic to experience a color revolution. what will be the outcome of the patrik had crisis in the country what future course will it choose for itself many inside and outside moldova are eager to know the answer to those questions. i. say for the seventh two thousand and nine central question now the capital of moldova several young people made their way to the rooftop of the presidential residence took down the national flag and in its place raise the european union's flag protest has announced that the revolution had taken place in moldova and the president had fled the country. president vladimir voronin was addressing the nation from his second floor office other presidential residence. the model was

a visual filters and those are the ones behind these bad beric we so-called demonstrations just whose interests they serve. and who benefit from them are only too obvious to the we're sure we will certainly find out who is planned and masterminded these disturbances stores that open minded injured. i much for the mole don't feel like a place. for. a student to the kitchen now polytechnic was among those who stormed government buildings he had joined a rally without any idea of how it might work out in the end at the time the young man was sure the police deliberately allowed protesters to seize the parliament building and set it on fire. just as you can see now police are well equipped. but at the time they were ill prepared to deal with such things.

they were only twenty or thirty policemen on hounds they certainly couldn't have coped but i'm sure there was a special purpose unit nearby. if they had used force everybody would have gone home right away. meanwhile preparations for widespread unrest were underway throughout kitchener a slavonic university only russian language institution of higher learning was the source of greatest concern it was feared the crowds might go on the rampage there by midday a large mob of nationalists had gathered in front of the university students were determined to defend the university and by any means possible. thank. you it is such worrying also learning that a crowd was heading here about getting the hoses we intended to use them as a last resort they came here. the fact is that high school children as well as

university students come here to study. because well it's. on that day april the seventh many believe that another so-called color revolution was unfolding in downtown kitchener several former soviet republics had already shared the same fate everybody expected pro western politicians to come to power on the back of protests against. communist president vladimir voronin but the following morning everything fell into place a roman had emerged victorious this is thought of. if that evening of the vision of somebody had resulted in the crowd why and for her sake they had come there still below and what they knew about the outcome of the election. the story i'm certain but ninety nine percent could not have answered those questions if it didn't feel the future would. be better history of the office our

discussions today we focus on what caused the events of a perilous seventh two thousand and nine and their aftermath our guest as we tell the public champ a leader of the national liberal party or the leader of the ultra right program anian party retaliate government chunka is rarely invited to speak over the radio the national liberal party's manifesto echoes the motto of the people who rampaged from parliament moldova and remain here are a single country she could visit said we want to join nato and the european union still that's the position of the national liberal party but that's can only be achieved through a union with remain handy and this should be done without doing a village we do not hesitate to voice what's on the minds of a very many people in our society with the only. the town of several k. two hundred kilometers from chris you know it is the informal capital of the romany people in moldova stones on the high bank of the nice to river its romany

population is nearly twenty thousand. ah to maturity is a room in the barrel a needs to be in the know about the problems facing all run many families help them deal with them and add their grievances to the authorities . although most people in some rocky change their old casa plush german and japanese makes prefers to drive his old soviet made car. so rocky is the maca whole room many of the former soviet union holes in the schools of this fact affects their culture civilization and traditions. the

moldova and big time business women have been known to join him on hunting expeditions in the forest but nobody has offered help in resolving his main problem is hogs are in one country but his office in the forest area minister is in another . this road here was a dividing line between the two warring policies. is the moldovan volunteers way here are the trends mr once ruled that saw. the part of the moldavian republic on the left bank of its nice to declared its independence even before the breakup of the soviet union was officially recognized the fact of the matter is that what is now called trans denise to became part of moldavia when it was a soviet republic jisshu now did not recognize

a self-proclaimed trans the nice to republic after moldavia achieved independence potential political standoff to generate his into an armed conflict the first shots were fired in the spring of one nine hundred ninety two. by the summer of ninety ninety two massive. hostility so i'd already broken out the bitterest fighting took place in the translates to town of been derek an enclave on the right bank of the denise to river. if we go in that small forest over there they set fire to the military hardware. and by that monument in the distance i remember about their work to bus loads of dead bodies awful before from but from collisions like you bitches love most a call from his mother often come to the bridge as an easter it was on this patch

that the bloodiest clashes between moldova in troops and trans and east of volunteers took place which is now served in the russian fourteenth army deployed in trans to nice to his father served in the cossacks mentioned ben derek the russian soldiers had to maintain neutrality even though most of them troops constantly find on the positions it was then which is satisfied to join his father's unit where i told him i was going to take part in your i said if you don't allow me to join your unit i will sign up for another so he took me on because he knew that i would the police be close at hand. moldova's leaders insisted they were not at war with the self-proclaimed republic rather they were trying to establish law and order in reality what happened in the summer of one thousand nine hundred two was a full blown military standoff on the verge of becoming the bloodiest conflict in the territory of the former soviet union everybody waited to see which side the russian troops would take.

up to one tonne a wine. one likes barrels meat a book white wines are normally aged for eighteen months or two years some are kept from the six months red wines are kept here for two three or four years the labyrinth is a hundred and twenty kilometers long on this one or a looks like a town complete with streets and avenues it's the only place i would scan in the world people here are not prone to modesty and talking about the miles upon miles of tunnels hiding fountains of barrels of red and white wine they said well i would say that it's the eighth wonder of the world that there was a time when wine making was an important part of the moldavian economy it first came under attack when soviet leader mikhail gorbachev declared war on hard drinking then yards over the total area of thousands of factors were cut down after mulled over achieved independence the industry could not be restored to previous

levels either in terms of quantity or more importantly quality. moldova's biggest customer russia stopped importing its produce at the turn of the century. moldovan why no longer conforms to strict russian senator standards or over the russian market was drowned in for jews from european one. family ranch wants are the world's best moldovan wines are not much different from down always situated at the same latitude as france in this he's only a short distance away so russia certainly lost out in this case. as your ways take sometimes this is the post-surgery won't get the stitch and the

scar to get in but a good doctor at this hospital in the village of men j.-a has catered to several patients likely gauri people in the surrounding villages might report about a hundred cases of this kind they share a common fate some have sold one of their kidneys for money others would you tend to selling them criminal gangs were spot potential donors in moldova and take them to turkey for back alley surgery. we had thirteen people in our village who went through this. and one of them has already died of kidney failure. selling their kidneys for money in order to be able to support their families was the only option open for most of the employment in moldova's regions is hard to come by the villagers were paid from one thousand five hundred to three thousand dollars for the operation but this thought i heard that one kidney is worth ninety

five thousand dollars around a hundred thousand they just cheated it when it shouldn't have gone to take he was he needed more now because of the money my health is gone there's nothing i can do i can't go back and change it all i can do is go on. grigori spend the five hundred dollars he was paid for his kidney in turkey a long time ago the money was just about enough to mine a house repairs and clothes for his family despite protests by his doctor who go is again toying with the idea of going abroad to look for temporary employment he sees no other way to get money for his family according to various estimates the money moldovans or virgin foreign countries accounts for approximately one fourth of the republic's g.d.p. up to one million citizens of moldova permanently reside outside the country. my older daughter wanted to go to college and i had no money i had to get some money

for her education. eventually she did not go in. the romany parent has his hands full now moldova's romany have been increasingly involved in the country's political life once our torture are even run for president but he says it was more a show a political gesture than anything else nowadays the romany people take politics seriously they have founded a political party and they expect to get several seats in parliament after elections. we're only always understood the meaning of politics. when you much about it you merely allegedly but we never tried to get involved in it no more but it could be needed. this is what the political campaigning of the newly founded romany party looks like folk songs and dances in front of government headquarters of the best publicity stunt of the new political association however

dejected sees a session of the moldovan parliament nearby paid no attention to the romany flashman. of. the country has been in a state of political crisis for a long time communist president vladimir voronin did retain power after the events of april seventh two thousand and nine but his party lost subsequent elections deputies in the republic's parliament have so far failed to agree on the future course for the country because none of the parliamentary parties as the necessary majority of votes. or the people of moldova want to hear nothing of any merger with anybody or more in sovereignty is increasingly becoming an integral part of the normal life of moldova in society and the maldives and state of jessica business when you're opposed to lockey has been

a member of parliament for some time in modern day moldova it is impossible to do business of any significance without political assistance you're opposed to lucky runs a small enterprise. he is a rare example of a successful businessman in moldova during breeds hogs creates jobs can protect the natural environment things would be even better for him were it not for a border causing his forest into. i find it hard to draw a dividing line between being derry and old over. between the left bank and the right bank i still believe this is one country and i regret what has been going on in those banks. the narrow denise to river divides moldova from the unrecognized republic but the political and economic gap between the two countries is much wider kisha now until last fall i have no diplomatic relations there are no direct telephone communications between

them. to has it's own currency economy and political system. no there he just look at him coming here. a treats me as one of his own. egos near north has been the hull know of the unrecognized republic for more than twenty years he is unwilling to talk about the one nine hundred ninety s. and war and prefers to demonstrate the republic's economic progress. position because there will always be an adequate supply of food to do because they don't know how to work this land display can support themselves without outside help but the problem is where can we sell what we produce these. despite all efforts the population of the unrecognized republic has dropped from seven hundred thousand to four hundred thousand since the armed conflict in france needs to twenty years ago

some have moved to moldova others to ukraine still more to russia this is the result of widespread unemployment most of the leading industrial plants built in the serbian union have been shut down or been there is over there. beyond been dairy that is where the fighting took place. reminders of those dreadful days are still evident in the enclave town on the right bank of the denise to the pockmarked walls of the administration building but traces of pullets locals take people on guided tours to show the positions of moldova sharpshooters. on the snipers killed all civilians because they couldn't hit the troops. but it didn't matter if it was friend or foe cumi thing they cared about was the body count. the more people they killed the higher their pay was.

literally take and nobody of the russian fourteen family stations and friends nice stuff could stop the bloodshed the army's commander general you. but declared been very a demilitarized zone today the russian peacekeeping force is about the only count toward peace that more than two thousand people on both sides lost their lives during not all conflicts. but when you as a bell nobody expected any hostilities to kick off air nobody believed a war was possible at the end of the twentieth century so if you're. on the other side of the border a former trans needs to volunteer a chess life not to cause or flex on what caused that brief will on his way to his mother's house will be. armed people entering your home triggers your self-defense reflex people were defending their homes. but there is no hostility now. we need many moldovans over

a glass of wine they are normal people like anyone else. in the autumn of one nine hundred ninety two virtuous life not a cause father went missing that was when heavy fighting had already come to an end . clearly my husband was abducted when he and another man went to inspect the territory in three years or a quarter of a there was a law in fighting at the time. i was not written it was clear that it would soon stop altogether. i'm very relieved ducted both of them i tried to find my husband for a year and three months. each summer war veterans and bullets of the fallen come to cemeteries on both sides of the new stuff to light candles.

scores of people have gathered in central question now for the anniversary of the raid on the parliament building they tell it countless. it is noteworthy photo but only a few of those who might be involved in those events turned up. in april two thousand and seven dmitri was poised to defend his university from a crowd of thugs today he takes his first steps into show business he writes songs often coming moldavian singers after quitting university he spent a year in europe then he realized that his country is his home yep i do agree with him history of the patrons of my country my friends and relatives who live here this is my land there is no point to linger in europe what can we give europe apart from weinberg those terrible incidents died down

a long time ago but the feeling of resentment is still with me today i still can't . figure out what's going on that all society has become insensitive to politics and age adoption official press with political. undress a was among those who retire and the parliament building two years ago today he is of a much more peaceful disposition since then he has graduated from university and given up politics now he has other priorities. my friends and i have founded a small organization in our town it is called eco chamber we are in the business of making minor ecological projects you know but they are only small projects because we are still in the initial stages. of young people gathering in the center of the moldovan capital call their act the hyde park project a reference to the british tradition of open at public debates anyone can add their

views on the political situation in the country speaking through a microphone and the project was launched hot on the heels of the events of april two thousand and nine initially people queue for a chance to speak up for their enthusiasm rapidly petered out nowadays passers by a more likely to ignore the speaker's. world. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered.
