A few years before the armed conflict and the attempt of Moldova to destroy Dubasari and Bendery, the resistance to the way of thinking and life imposed on us by official Chisinau centered around the women's strike movement. Angered by the arrest of our deputies, Pridnestrovian women blocked the railway. At the memorial sign “To women - defenders of PRidnestrovian Moldavian Republic”, the PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky, Parliament Speaker Alexander Korshunov, Chairman of the Government Alexander Martynov talked with the participants of the blockade of the “piece of iron”, laid flowers at the memorable sign.

The parliamentarians consider that nothing stands still, everything changes. And we must do everything so that these changes are for the good of our republic, then, God willing, and the threat that constantly hangs over us can be lifted.
