Vladimir Beșleagă considers all the elections in Moldova center on geopolitics. “We can no way say that we decide autonomously as everything is done based on the geopolitical aspect,” the writer stated in an interview for Radio Free Europe that is quoted by IPN.
“Because our territory is placed so geographically and historically and because of the influence of overpowers. The fragmentation and demarcation line goes through this and that’s why it is hard for us to achieve what we want as we have one wish, but there are eight or ten interests of others,” said Vladimir Beșleagă.
As to the involvement of people of culture in politics, the writer said the general law says the people or arts, of culture should not become involved in politics. “They were above politics during centuries. Voltaire was deified by the king and the kings listened to him. The 19th century came then and the people of culture sold them … In our country, there was a period of national liberation and national renaissance and most of the people of culture, writers became involved in politics and later withdrew or were marginalized,” noted Vladimir Beșleagă.
Asked if the Transnistrian dispute can be ever resolved, Vladimir Beșleagă said this problem will not be solved in the nearest future or in the medium term. The former empire and the current pro-imperial or post-imperial image of the Russians will concede no piece of land in Ossetia, Abkhazia, Kaliningrad or elsewhere.
“Ukraine also does not concede and will never concede, if only a collapse is witnessed and the collapse of this empire can occur only as a result of an absolutely unexpected catastrophe that we cannot imagine and do not want as this would have an impact on us too. This empire is a powder barrel that can get out of control and can destroy the whole continent and not only, but also half of Asia, Siberia and other parts,” noted the writer.
