On the Day of Memory and Grief in Bendery they paid tribute and honored the memory of militiamen, Cossacks and women who defended Pridnestrovie

Flower colors revived today a stone sign in honor of women defenders of the PMR. Created by sculptor Tatiana Sergeeva, it was installed in 2010 in Panin Street. The place was not chosen by chance: the sign is located near the railway track, recalling the “rail war” won by Pridnestrovian defenders. They along with men defended the independence of the republic and the freedom of its citizens.

Communicating with the activists of the women's strike committee, Vadim Krasnoselsky expressed gratitude to them for a truly female non-indifference, selfless love for the Motherland, respect for the past, maternal care for the present and the future of the country. The Pridnestrovian defenders, in turn, assured the President that they are still loyal to the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic and are ready if necessary to defend.

Mourning music was played today in Grigory Yechin street, bearing the name of - one of the employees of the Bendery Municipal Internal Affairs Department, who on April 1, 1992 drew fire of Moldovan nationalists. The Orthodox chapel, built in 2002 at the place of the tragedy marked the beginning of military aggression against the people of Pridnestrovie, was filled with flowers. The current militiamen, in memory of their dead colleagues, walked near the stone, on which the names were carved, in a solemn march.

Low bow from the President to the Cossacks who defended Pridnestrovie. Every year on June 19, heads of state authorities arrive at the Cossack Cross to leave flowers at its foundation, as a symbol of the memory of 92 Cossacks who gave their lives for the independence of Pridnestrovie. The cross is installed in the courtyard of one of the residential buildings located near Liberation Square - at the intersection of Suvorov and Lenin streets. On the night of June 19-20, 1992, Cossacks-defenders died here, whose names surround the symbol of the Orthodox faith.
