Politicians, diplomats and experts most often talk about Pridnestrovie. How to talk about a conflict, a security threat and an obstacle to European integration. But for many Moldovans, it’s not just geopolitics, negotiations and roadblocks. These are relatives, friends, work, studies and memories of a time when the country was not yet divided.
In the new edition of the special project VOICES / VOCI, we again went to Moldovan villages to hear those who are rarely asked. Talk about relatives on the other side of the Dniester, about war and fear, about politics and everyday life. And to understand how deeply the division, which has existed on the map for more than thirty years, is felt in people’s lives.
NewsMaker launches a special project VOICES / VOCI – a series of reports from Moldovan villages, where we talk not with politicians and experts, but with ordinary people – those who rarely make it into the news, but without whom it is impossible to understand the country. The project’s heroes, with different experiences and views, talk about what is happening in Moldova, where we came from and where we are going – and often talk about what is being ignored. Each episode is dedicated to a separate topic that is commonly debated in Moldova, but rarely truly discussed: language and identity, the gap between city and village, European integration, church and faith, migration and return, Transnistria and reintegration, poverty, media and propaganda, justice and corruption.
