The director of the Political Research Bureau ‘Mediator’ Sergey Shirokov told it during the info marathon live show of the Pridnestrovie’s First Channel today
“Everything that happens in the post-Soviet area and in the Middle East confirms that the world system suffers its half-life period unfortunately,” he emphasized.
“In my view, Russia announced to the whole world that it's really Russia for the first time in a long period. And for the first time, the Russian president set out the foreign-policy priorities, and holds them firmly,” the adviser of the Pridnestrovie’s President Nikolay Lizunov told.
The Pridnestrovie’s expert Sergey Shirokov told that the Crimea’s return to the authority of Russia was ‘the restitution of historical justice’.
“But after dinner comes the reckoning. The political and economic losses beared by the Russian Federation today is the price paid. Russia took this step consciously,” he noted.
Nikolay Lizunov is sure, the Russian Federation is a great country which can overcome the current situation.
Sergey Shirokov associated the ‘Crimean Spring’ and the national referendum of 2006 in Pridnestrovie and stated his opinion that Pridnestrovie was a precedent for the Crimea but not vice versa.
“I think that Pridnestrovie was a precedent for the Crimea. If we observe the results of the referendum, its scales and the decisions made after it, they are absolutely the same as those in September 17, 2006. We had to take only one more small step then in 2006, but unfortunately we hadn’t such a large-scale consent and support of the Russian Federation. Nevertheless, it’s already the thing of the past, so I consider the Crimean precedent is based on Pridnestrovie’s one,” the director of the Political Research Bureau ‘Mediator’ Sergey Shirokov concluded.
