(Appeal from residents of Transnistria who suffered at the hands of the oligarchic group "Sheriff")

In a few days, our Pridnestrovian Republic will celebrate 25 years since its founding. All these years, our multinational people have worked together to overcome economic and political challenges. Despite all the blockades, we have proven our right to self-determination.
In a situation of political and economic instability in our neighbors Moldova and Ukraine, our republic managed to maintain a stable exchange rate for the national currency, prevent the impoverishment of the population due to the devaluation of the ruble, and avoid color revolutions financed from abroad.
However, the recent political and economic situation is causing great concern among us, the citizens of the republic. In the run-up to the parliamentary elections to the Supreme and local councils, several political forces financed by the Sheriff group of companies are destabilizing the situation. A group of Sheriff-financed deputies has unleashed a sham propaganda campaign online. Thus, Supreme Council deputy Oleg Valerievich Vasilatiy created the websites "Open Forum PMR" (openpmr.info) and "PMRF - Pridnestrovie and Russia" (www.pmr-rf.ru), publishing false and deplorable materials.
The goal of all these actions is the same: to detonate the already tense economic situation in the republic and, using this as leverage, monopolize legislative and executive power in the hands of Sheriff's puppets. We, citizens of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, do not want to become slaves or a means of enrichment. Between 2012 and 2014 alone, some clients of Agroprombank siphoned $900 million out of the republic through transactions with offshore entities. This money, instead of going toward pensions and public sector salaries, is being used to purchase expensive real estate in Germany and other EU countries. Documents confirming this will be provided to your website shortly.
The entire history of Sheriff is drenched in the blood and tears of our citizens. The company began its journey in the 90s with cigarette and alcohol smuggling, physically eliminating competitors along the way. To protect itself from responsibility for the sins of the past, the puppet Supreme Court blocked the Transnistrian President's initiative to abolish the statute of limitations for criminal offenses.
We are all now hostages, in the hands of the company's criminal leadership. This cannot continue forever; we will initiate a petition drive to international bodies, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Transnistria President Evgeny Shevchuk.
