Alexei Serebryanski, a retired colonel of the Security and Intelligence Service (SIS) and former foreign espionage chief, stated rumor has it that the president of Moldovagaz Vadim Ceban intends to run for the post of Bashkan (Governor) of Gagauzia in the elections set for next spring. But Vadim Ceban is the person who consciously tolerates interethnic hatred and is the co-author and planner of actions to intimidate and denigrate the people of Gagauzia and the national minorities in Moldova.
“If the public work of Mister Ceban in the recent period is analyzed, it can be seen that he already takes action to enter politics, including by paying different visits to Gagauzia for political PR. But not many know how he is in reality. We are now obliged and have the civic duty to warn society, first of all the people of Gagauzia, so as to reveal the true character of this pseudo-politician to be Vadim Ceban,” Alexei Serebryanski said in a news conference hosted by IPN.
According to him, immediately after he was named chief of Moldovagaz, Vadim Ceban designated Yevgenny Cuzmin as his adviser. “This year, Cuzmin was arrested and charged by prosecutors with a number of very serious crimes of which I have been sensitizing public opinion over the past two years. By this conference, I want to draw attention and warn, including the people of Gagauzia, about the Ceban - Cuzmin relationship and the criminal interest of the two,” said the retired SIS colonel.
“Vadim Ceban and retired colonel Yevgenny Cuzmin have known each other since Ceban held the post of vice Bashkan of Gagauzia, while Cuzmin served as SIS officer in charge of Gagauzia. This is not a secret and Ceban and Cuzmin earlier stated this in public. In that period, Cuzmin was fully involved in the public discrediting and denigration of the people of Gagauzia through Telegram channels and anonymous websites of fake news created and managed by Cuzmin, illegally using the resources of the SIS on the pretext of so-called operations to influence the electronic environment,” stated Alexei Serebryanski.
According to him, a lot of persons in Gagauzia, including the current Bashkan, were subject to a denigration, discrediting, slandering and intimidation campaign by the current adviser to the president of the Administrator Board of Moldovagaz. “I note that all these persons were subject to intimidation by the former SIS officer and current adviser to Vadim Ceban. Through the agency of Telegram channels, these persons were slandered and attacked. Discrediting materials were fabricated and published and the people of Gagauzia were denigrated,” said the former SIS employee.
