over there they set fire to the military hardware. and by that monument in the distance i remembered that there were two bus loads of dead bodies for much english like you which is love meltzer cause. and his mother often come to the bridge and denise that it was on this patch that the bloodiest clashes between moldova and troops and trends in east of volunteers took place and she slaps served in the russian fourteenth army deployed in france than easter his father served in the cossacks and then derry the russian soldiers had to maintain neutrality even though moldova and troops constantly fired on their positions and was then which a slap decided to join his father's unit where i told him i was going to take part in you 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 at least 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 nine hundred ninety 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. download the official auntie huntley cation chong phone oh i pod touch from the i.q. stops to. lunch all sheesh life on the go. video on demand policies mindful of costs an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. questions on the all

when you just take over is occasional suburb. moldova's principle treasure is tucked away on the ground. some forty million liters of wine was kept to mature here demand generates supply now you can find french and gary in ermey and moldova and barrels here each contains up to one tonne a wine. one likes barrels made a bow. wines are normally aged for eighteen months or two years some are kept from was 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 of its kind in the

world people here are not prone to modesty when 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 and first came under attack and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev declared war on hard drinking then yards of the total area of fallon's factors were cut down after mulled over a chief independence the industry could not be restored to previous levels either in terms of quantity or more importantly quality. was biggest customer russia stopped importing it or the turn of the century. all those in why no longer conforms to strict russian senator standards moreover the russian market was drowned in produce the european one. family range ones are the

world's best but most golden winds are not much different from damn well told me situated at the same latitude as france in this he's only a short distance away so russia certainly lost out in this case. basically it's a lose your way stake some types this is the post-surgery one the stitch and the scar gets you but the doctor at this hospital in the village of ninja has case of to several patients like grigori people in the surrounding villages might report about a hundred cases of his kindness they share a common fate some have sold one of their kidneys for money but others were duped into selling the criminal gangs would support potential donors in moldova and take

them to a back alley surgery where we had thirteen people in our village who went through this. and one of them has already died of kidney failure. patients. selling their kidneys for money in order to be able to support their families was the only option open for most of the employment and 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. i heard that one kidney is worth ninety five thousand dollars around one hundred thousand they just cheated us. they shouldn't have gone to turkey but i needed more late 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 a. rigorous spend the five hundred dollars he was paid for his kidney in turkey a long time ago the money was just about enough

a minor house repairs and clothes for his family despite protests by his doctor to 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 earns in 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. the romany baron has his hands full now although it was 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 the election. we were many always understood the meaning of politics. we knew much about it immediately did he thought but we never tried to get involved in it. 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 for the new political association however the deputies a session of the moldovan parliament nearby paid no attention to the running of the flash mob. 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 the seventh two thousand and nine but his party lost subsequent elections deputies in the republic's parliament of so far failed to agree on a future course for the country because none of the parliamentary parties has the necessary majority of votes. or the people of moldova want to hear nothing of any merger with anybody zoran he is increasingly becoming an integral part of the normal life of moldova in society and the mold of an stage for both jessica businessman yuri 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 and protects the natural environment things would be even better for him were it not for a boarder cutting his forest into. all new crew members living life find it hard to

draw a dividing line between in derry and although over. between the left bank and the right bank i still do believe this is one country and i regret what has been going on on those banks. the narrow denice to revert divides moldova from the unrecognized republic the political and economic gap between the two countries is much wider question now until the last poll have no diplomatic relations there are no direct telephone communications between the times an easter has its own currency economy and political system. there i just look at him coming here. for. a treats me as one of his own. he goes near north has been the hull move the

unrecognized republic for more than twenty years he is unwilling to talk about the ninety ninety two war and prefers to demonstrate the republic's economic progress. exist because there will always be an adequate supply of food to salute you because people know how to work this land is play can support themselves without outside help but the problem is where can we sell what we produce. despite all efforts the population of the unrecognized republic has dropped from seven hundred thousand to four hundred thousand since the armed conflict in trans 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 soviet union have been shut down or bend areas over there. beyond in the area 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 where traces of bullets locals take people on going to tours to show the positions of moldova sharpshooters. the snipers killed all civilians because they couldn't help the troops. but it didn't matter if it was friend or foe the only thing they cared about was the body count. the more people they killed the higher their pay was. telling me. nobody at the russian fourteenth army stationed in france nice to can stop the bloodshed the army's commander general you. declared friend barry a demilitarized zone today the russian peacekeeping force is about the only guarantor of peace that more than two thousand people on both sides lost their lives trying not to conflict. with just about nobody expected any hostilities to

kick off air nobody believes a war was causal at the end of the twentieth century but if you're. on the other side of the border a former trans needs to volunteer but just laugh natural cause perfect son what cools down pretty full on his way to his mother's house will. push armed people entering your home triggers your self-defense reflex people were defending their homes. but there is no hostility now. they need many moldovans over a glass of wine they are normal people like anyone else. in the all sum of nine hundred ninety two rochus last march across father went missing that was when heavy fighting had already come to an end. and we were very clearly my husband was abducted when he and another man went to inspect the territory. we were going to and there was a law in fighting at the time. for us not to return it was clear that it would soon

stop altogether. they abducted both of them i tried to find my husband for a year and three months. each summer war veterans and bullets halves of the fallen come to some a trace on both sides of the new stuff to light candles. scores of people have gathered in central kitchen now for the anniversary of the raid on the parliament building they tell it countless. it is noteworthy photo that only a few of those who would 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 welcome coming moldavian singers after quitting university essentially a year in europe then he realized that his country is his home yet to do it with him this or the other 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 or from wine or those turbulent events died down a long time ago but the feeling of resentment still with me today i still can't. figure out what's going on that all society has become insensitive to politics they get upset of this with what is. under a was among those who retired work in 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 friend and i have founded a small organization in our town it is called eco shame. 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 public debates anyone can add their views on the political situation in the country speaking through microphone 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 passes by a more likely to ignore the speaker's.
