Alexander Korshunov, “Local self-government bodies are the main institution for the formation of democratic state”

The Council of Deputies and Workers of Bendery became the first representative body of local government in the territory of Pridnestrovie after the February Revolution of 1917. The first session of people's deputies in Bendery took place on the 8th of March, 1917. The inhabitants of the city were represented by delegates from the workers of the railway, shipping route, printing house, mills, as well as employees of the postal and telegraph department, commercial and industrial establishments. The history of the creation, formation and work of the deputies of the Bender City Council for 105 years was told in the film, which was shown from the stage of the Pavel Tkachenko House of Culture. It is located in the center of the city and today in its hall there were activists of districts, house committees and deputies of the current and past convocations of the Bendery City Council. Among the guests were deputies of the Supreme Council for the Bendery districts. Sergei Pisarenko, Anton Onufrienko and Alexander Korshunov got their first experience of working in representative bodies of power in the city council of Bendery.

He emphasized that sports and cultural facilities are being repaired and built, roads are being repaired, recreation places for citizens are appearing in microdistricts, infrastructure is improving every year. An important role in this is played by feedback from the people of Bendery.

There are 14 programs in Bendery, which have been adopted by the City Council. There are promising programs that allow the formation of targeted programs for the development of the city every year.
