they're doing exactly what the u.s. father afraid that would of wanted them to do. the g. eight leaders show a united front by declaring colonel gadhafi is rule illegitimate and demanding the russians sending assembled in libya to mediate this cease fire in the country's civil war. what about love for you georgia's independence place will probably crack down on thousands of anti-government protesters first those rallies march the climax of speaker stations calling for president saakashvili to step down. one thirty one here in moscow programs continue next twenty years down the line look at post soviet moldova as the chasm between rich and poor grows wider there with the job market at a low ebb right now we ask what the future holds it's the subject of our special report next. a country where some take pride in their wine family ranks wants other world's best but most of

those warnings are not much different from down. others have to select kidneys to support their families but i need good morning now because of the money my health is gone in the first year of independence the country went through a civil war. nobody believed a war was possible at the end of the twentieth century moldova could have yet to come another former soviet republic to experience a color revolution. what will be the outcome of the partridge 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. think 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 i don't want to leave the submersible until persons are the ones behind these barbaric we so-called demonstrations those interests they serve. and who benefit from them are only too obvious disorient. will certainly find out who has planned and masterminded these disturbances store shelves i don't believe in you. they fly much for the moldovan like place. under

a student to the kitchen now polytechnic was among those who stormed the 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 had deliberately allowed protesters to seize the parliament building and set it on fine. 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 slavonic university because you know it's 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 mobile nationalists had gathered in front of the university students were determined to defend the university and by any means possible. it is such worrying after learning that a crowd was heading in 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. and not 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 and emerged victorious this is sort of. if that evening

which of the somebody had results. in the crowd why and for whose sake they had come there still below and what they knew about the outcome of the election. the story i'm certain that ninety nine percent could not have answered those questions even if they didn't meet you and you. do nothing but our discussion today will focus on what caused the events of april seventh two thousand and nine and their aftermath our guest is we tell you a public leader of the national liberal party the leader of the ultra right program mainly in party retaliate having a chunk of is really invited to speak over the radio the national liberal party's manifesto echoes the motto of the people who rampaged through parliament moldova and remain here are a single country. but. we want to join nato and the european

union and that's the position of the national liberal party but that can only be achieved through a union with romania and this should be done without doing as we do not have. does it say to the boys what's on the minds of the very many people in our society with . 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 it's romany population is nearly twenty thousand. not too much a robbery is a room in a barrel any just 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 and i'm

a bit of a. although most people inside ok change their old casa plush german and japanese makes october first a drive his old soviet made generally come. there. is a rocky is the maca a whole room many of the former soviet union halls and schools and this fact affects their culture civilization and traditions. the cradle of the room many people use here the grounds around the. room many traditions on it and so rocking the baron enjoys public respect ronnie seek advice from him on any matter of importance or the name sounds of build a house will give a name to a baby. like that hello hello. by that appearance like the baron at their. yes that is as they did

nice tr is in the shape of a horseshoe years draw here were we settled on this blasted into sacred land more than five hundred years ago in a separate the many of. the large been very forest is two hundred kilometers downstream the nice to river. yury opposed to lucky a businessman is the most important person him during pre talks the ex president of moldova and big time businessmen 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 he ministers is another. good look at this road here was a dividing line between the two warring policies. the

moldovan volunteers were here but the trans mr was real bets on. the part of the moldavian republic on the left bank of it's nice to declare its independence even before the breakup of the soviet union was officially recognized the fact of the matter is the want is now called trans nice to became part of moldavia when it was a soviet republic kisha now did not recognize so proclaimed transit needs to republic after moldavia achieved independence the tens 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 must. if hostilities had already broken out the bitterest fighting took place in the translates to town of ben derry an enclave on

the right bank of the denise to river. if the gold was well within that small forest over there they set fire to the military hardware be. done by that monument in the distance i remember about there were two bus loads of dead bodies from bus and police from a different which is love meltzer cough and his mother often come to the bridge if there's an easter it was on this patch that the bloodiest clashes between moldova troops and trends in east of volunteers took place which is slap served in the russian fourteenth army deployed in france than easter his father served in a cause sentiment and then derek the russian soldiers had to maintain neutrality even though most often troops constantly front on their positions it was then which a slap decided to join his father's unit i told him i was going to take part in it 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. culture is that so much of the taxpayers' money because it is never a real mystery of issues of relevance and even widget a mystery as the jostling continues as to have succeeded now disgraced so many trucks cars.

in russia would be soo much brighter if you knew about sound from phones to impressionable. minds from stunts on t.v. don't come. lineage of cricket is occasional suburb. moldova's principal 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 erm ian and moldovan barrels here each contains up to one tonne a wine. one likes barrels made of oh white wines are normally aged for eighteen

months or two years some are kept from least six months red wines are kept here for two three or four years the labyrinth is one hundred 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 were 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. there was a time when wine making was an important part of the moldavian economy and 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. mostly it was

biggest customer russia stopped importing its projects at the turn of the century. all those in raw i no longer conforms to strict russian senators standards moreover the russian market was drowned in projects from european one because. family range ones are the world's best moldovan wines are not much different from down old 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. basing its does your way steak sometimes this is the post-surgery wound the stitch and the scar the bits where good jobs are at this hospital in the village of mn

j.-a has case of to several patients like grigori people in the surrounding villages might report about a hundred cases of this kind of they share a common fate some have sold one of their kidneys for money others would do to selling them were criminal gangs would stop 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 them 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. i heard that one kidney is worth ninety five thousand dollars around one hundred thousand they just cheated this. shouldn't

have gone to turkey but i 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. gregory's spent 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 and 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 have earned 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 and. the romany baron has his hands full now holdovers 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 showy political gesture there 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 immediately but we never tried to get involved in it when you could when you did. 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 progressive system of the new political association however the

deputies a session of the moldovan parliament nearby paid no attention to the running of the flesh from. 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 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 in severance he is increasingly becoming an integral part of the normal life as moldova in society and the mold of an state of jessica businessman yuri opposed to lockey has been a member of parliament for some time in modern day moldova it is impossible to keep

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. greets hogs creates jobs and protects 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 in derry and rolled over or between the left bank and the right bank i still do believe this is one country and i regret what has been going on in those banks. the narrative needs to revert divides moldova from the unrecognized republic or the political and economic gap between the two countries is much wider kitchen now interest full have no diplomatic relations there are no direct telephone communications between them. to has its own currency economy and political system.

no there he just look at him coming here. a treats me as one of his own. egos smear north has been the hallmark the unrecognized republic for more than twenty years he is unwilling to talk about the nine hundred ninety two war and prefers to demonstrate the republic's economic progress. resistant there will always be an adequate supply of food to salute you because they will know how to work this land is bacon 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 on conflict in trans needs to twenty years ago some have moved to moldova others cheap crane still more to russia this

is the result of widespread unemployment most of the leading industrial plants built in the service union have been shut down or bend areas over there. beyond bend 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 and sharpshooters. the snipers killed all civilians because they couldn't hit 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. headed make and nobody at the russian fourteenth army stationed in france needs to

can stop the bloodshed the army's commander general you. but declared ben derry a demilitarized zone today the russian peacekeeping force is about the only down toll of peace they're all in 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 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 which is laugh much a cause for flex on what caused that brief will on his way to his mother's house with. the russian armed people entering your home triggers your self-defense reflex people were defending their homes. but there is no hostility now. but we need many moldovans over a glass of wine they are normal people like anyone else. in the olson of nine

hundred ninety two righteous laughter not a cause father went missing that was when heavy fighting had already come to an end . we were going to leave my husband was abducted when he and another man went to inspect the territory. over there was a law in fighting at the time. for us not to do it it was clear that it would soon stop altogether. when they abducted 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 that mr to light candles. scores of people have gathered in central kitchen now for the anniversary of the

raid on the parliament building they too lit candles. it is noteworthy though 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 takes his first steps into show business he writes songs up and coming moldavian singers after quitting university essentially year in year and then he realized that his country is his home ever through the wood of this area i am a patriot of my country my friends and relatives live here this is my land there is no point to linger in europe what can we give europe or from weinberger with those terrible incidents died down a long time ago but the feeling of resentment is still with me today i still can't

. figure old folks going on in the society has become insensitive to put. it. under a was among those who retire and the parliament building two years ago today he is a much more peaceful just position 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 chamber. we are in the business of making minor ecological projects you know but they're only small projects because we are still in the initial stages. a group of young people gathering in the center of the moldovan capital call that rocked 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 microphones the project was launched hot on the heels of the events of april two thousand and nine initially people choose for a chance to speak up but their enthusiasm rapidly petered out nowadays passes by a more likely to ignore the speaker's. mission free critique ation free comes for charges free. range month free risk free. types free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects free media and on the r.t. dot com. in
