THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEMIC CRISIS IN MOLDOVA: CAUSES AND POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES
https://doi.org/10.48137/23116412_2022_4_28
Abstract
The article examines the causes of the systemic crisis in Moldova caused, first of all, by Chisinau’s attempts, for the sake of demonstrating “Euro-Atlantic solidarity”, to switch to alternative, but little promising sources of gas supplies to Russia, which led to the collapse of industrial production, uncontrolled inflation and a sharp decline in the standard of living of the population. Chisinau is trying to shift the problems associated with the reduction of Russian gas supplies to the republic to Transnistria, arbitrarily reducing the corresponding amounts of supplies intended for it. Such actions are aimed at economically forcing Tiraspol to reintegrate into Moldova, without regard to the fact that this could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe here.
