Transnistria disinformation analyzed by journalist Irina Tăbăranu

Journalist Irina Tăbăranu, co-founder of the platform Zona de Securitate, has addressed the narratives and disinformation promoted by the separatist administration in Tiraspol and pro-Russian channels. The discussion focuses on claims made during the so-called “day of the Moldovan Transnistrian Republic.”

Key points of analysis include the debunking of claims that the Transnistrian region emerged as a reaction to nationalism or discrimination against Russian speakers in Chisinau. The discussion examines the historical reality of the early 1990s, the role of the Russian 14th Army in the conflict, and the reinterpretation of the war as a “civil war” in propaganda.

Furthermore, the analysis challenges the narrative of an economic blockade imposed by Moldova, noting that most of the region's exports reach the European Union market. The discussion also covers human rights issues, the status of Romanian-language schools, and how the fear of renewed conflict is utilized to maintain the divide between the two banks of the Dniester.
