Prosecutors claimed during the trial that the two made the bomb and sold it to a woman, Elena Litvinenko, who was transporting it on the bus when it exploded on July 6, 2006. She died in the explosion.

Mafia-linked groups

President of Moldova, Voronin, said Tuesday that a Transnistria resolution should not follow a Kosovo pattern. He said mafia-linked groups have seized Transnistria, and Russia holds the key to its destiny.


RIA Novosti: Transdnestr resolution must not follow 'Kosovo pattern' - Moldova


18/ 12/ 2007


"We are speaking of mafia-linked groups which have seized Transdnestr and turned it into a separatist territory - a status it has maintained for 16 years," Voronin said.

Voronin also said that though any Transdnestr settlement was linked to the conflict of interests between Russia, the United States, and Europe, Russia ultimately held the key to the destiny of the breakaway region.

Russia Ready To Replace Smirnov?


Russia might replace Smirnov in Tiraspol! Russia has apparently decided to help re-unite Moldova. While Smirnov still wants independence for Transnistria, is "stubborn as ever", and refuse to speak with Chisinau. A Russian delegation will visit Tiraspol in early February.


Kommersant: Russia’s Got a Substitute for Transdniestria Leader


Jan. 28, 2008


Moldova’s breakaway region of Transdniestria said last week only the recognition of its independence will foil the West’s plans to create “sanitary arc” around Russia and will bring stability to the volatile area. This did not come as good news for Moscow which has decided to help re-unite Moldova. Kommersant sources said that a Russia delegation is to visit Transdniestria’s capital of Tiraspol in early February to try to persuade local authorities to make amends with Moldova’s federal officials. In case the Transdniestrian leader, Igor Smirnov, is stubborn as ever, Russia has already got someone to replace him with – the parliament’s speaker Evgeny Shevchuk.

[---]

Kommersant sources close to Russian-Moldovan talks reported that Mr. Voronin won Moscow’s support in the Transdniestrian settlement. The only thing left to take the issue out of the stalemate is to get Transdniestria’s persistent President Igor Smirnov back to talks. The republic’s leader wants no rapprochement with Chisinau.

I wonder what will happen if Kosovo declares independence...

$1 Billion

Russia's next President is Medvedev, Gazprom's chairman. Gazprom owns 50% of RosUkrEnergo.
RosUkrEnergo and Mogilevich (remember the "gas war"?). RosUkrEnergo apparently owes Gazprom more than $1 billion. Moscow is angry at Smirnov because of some missing $1 Billion. Coincidence? Is this the same $1 Billion or is it another $1 Billion? Smirnov is out in the cold. Mogilevich is apparently out in the cold as well, as he got arrested last week. 1$ Billion here, $1 Billion there. Two powerful men who used to be backed by Moscow, have now obviously lost support from Moscow.


Kyiv Post: Why Russia arrested Mogilevich


Jan 31 2008


Any suspicions of links to organized crime could sink Gazprom’s NYSE bid, which would be seen as not only a financial blow to the gas monopoly, but a major setback for Russia and Gazprom’s chairman, Dmitry Medvedev, who was slated to be elected president of Russia in March.

Housecleaning in RUE began with the removal of Palchykov as co-director of RUE. Then it was discovered that RUE owed Gazprom more than $1 billion

Russia’s Got a Substitute for Transdniestria Leader


Moscow still wants to know what happened to $1 billion that Transdniestrian authorities collected from people for Russian gas but did not pay it to Russia.

But of course, it's all just a coincidence...

According to Voronin, Moldova will not join NATO if Russia accepts its sovereignity over Transnistria.


Kyiv Post: Moldova pledges not to join NATO if Russia accepts its sovereignty over Trans-Dniester


Mar 13 2008


Moldova's President said in remarks published Wednesday that a deal may be reached with Russia under which the Trans-Dniester region remains part of Moldova in return for Moldova's promise never to join NATO.

"Soon we will have a final solution to the Trans-Dniester conflict," President Vladimir Voronin was quoted as saying in the Russian daily Kommersant.

I'm not linking to Kommersant, because their site is apparently down now for some reason...


In addition, Moldova would take on Trans-Dniester's $1.5 billion debt to the Russian gas company, Gazprom.

Please visit the link provided for the complete story.

Hmmm. Here it is mentioned again. Transnistria's gas debt to Gazprom. Coincidently, it's the same amount that Gazprom claimed from Ukraine in the recent gas dispute...


Wikipedia: Russia-Ukraine gas dispute
3 March 2008 Gazprom cut it's shipments to Ukraine by 25% (a day later with another 25%[75]), claiming that the US$1.5 billion debt still wasn't paid, Ukraine officials said it had been paid
