PRESENTATION OF DNIESTRIAN PUBLICATIONS.

 

On September 1st 2002, in Tiraspol in the small hall of the Palace of Republic, there took place the presentation of the DMR publications, at which there came authors, publishers, specialists, and readers. Among presented literature there were about 10 names of manuals in the Moldavian language for Moldavian and Russian schools, the almanac “The Literary Dniestria”, the historical almanac of Dniestria, the edition “The Days and Nights of the Tragedy from Bendery”, other books and magazines of Dniestrian authors.

By words of Liudmila Tishina, the chief of editorial staff of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications, editorial activity in our republic is accomplished by state publishing organizations: Editorial-Publishing Department of the DSU named after T.Shevchenko, the Editorial-Cultural center “Kniga”, printing-houses “Polygraphist”, “Tipar”, and private editorial organizations: the Publishing House “Delo”, JSC “Litera”, and others. She remarked, “Book-publishing activity in our republic is successfully developing. Prices for high-qualitative didactic-methodical literature for schools and higher education institutions are considerably lower than in neighboring states”.

By her words, in few years educational institutions of the republic would be fully provided with contemporary, the major part of which would be issued in Dniestrian publishing houses. Historical, economic, and literary issues are benefiting demand of Dniestrians and of foreign readers.

Among plenty of publications presented at the exhibition, the greatest interest of the audience there caused the almanac “Dniestria in Geopolitical System of Coordinates of the XXI century”, prepared by specialists of the Dniestrian Scientific center of the Russian Academy of Real Sciences and the Center of Social and Political Research “Perspective” of the DSU named after T.Shevchenko. There are reflected problems of political, social, and economic development of our republic. Readers are given a perfect possibility to get acquainted with position of authors, who have chosen the complicated and delicate topic of ‘development of self-proclaimed states’ as an objective of their research.

This year, there was also issued the historical book of Ghennady Kodryanu under title of “The Dniestrian Break”. The author, basing on real facts and documentaries, relates about history of foundation and enforcement of the Dniester Moldavian Republic. The given book represents an interest not only for specialists but also for a large circle of readers who interest with the history of our state.

By words of the minister of education Elena Bomeshko, the Dniestrian literature benefits “huge success not only in the republic but also far abroad”. But because of a small circulation many books have already managed to become a ‘second-hand book rarity’. Maybe that’s why, as she emphasized, “The days of the presentation of Dniestrian publications there always gather a lot of people who are sincerely interested in information about Dniestria, truth about our life would be spread throughout the world”.

The minister cordially celebrated participants of the exhibition with the approaching holiday: the 12th anniversary of foundation of the Dniester Moldavian Republic and wished creative successes and good luck to participants of the exhibition.
