The State Mass Media: it's time to ask

Almost two months after the first discussion of the activities of the State Socialist Movement, the first deputies returned to this topic. They were interested in how the leadership of state-owned TV channels, radio, newspapers and news agencies took into account the recommendations, comments and suggestions of the founders of the republic.

He informed participants of the meeting that the creative groups of the First Pridnestrovian produced two documentary films dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the national militia. The plans are to broadcast programs dedicated to the liberation of Tiraspol, Victory Day, anniversary of the republic. Alexander Karasev, editor-in-chief of “The Pridnestrovie” newspaper shared his creative plans.
