Question

Which eastern european nation resisted communism the longest?

Answer 1

Answer:

Moldova

Explanation:

One point in common between, at least, Belarus, Russia and Moldova is that the communist and pro-Soviet opposition is reorganized after the counterrevolution from the middle and lower cadres of the old CPSU who have remained faithful to Socialism. Lukashenko was not a high level bureaucrat but the head of a farm. Zyuganov in Russia was an intermediate-low picture of the CPSU. In Moldavia, Vladimir Voronin was a grassroots leader of the PCM, former deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the RSSM, who arrived in 1989 as interior minister of the RSSM and which ceased in 1990. In August 1991 the PCM, republican branch of the CPSU , is illegalized by the government of Kisinau, Moldovan capital. The convinced communists create an Organizing Committee of a new PCM that chooses Voronin as co-president. A renewed PCM is already under way for 1993. In March 1995 the Party joined the Union of Communist Parties-PCUS led by Oleg Shenin. In December of 1995 they celebrate the first congress that advocates the restoration of a "Soviet federation of sovereign republics". It accuses imperialism of disintegrating the USSR and denounces as traitors the presidents of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus for repealing the founding treaty of the Union of 1922. Voronin is elected first secretary and in the presidential elections of 1996 gets 10.2% electoral. Within the Party there is a struggle between the right wing and the Social Democrats and the Communist wing, which in 1997 succeeded in expelling the former. After this victory, the Party is renamed the Communist Party of the Republic of Moldova (PCRM) with Voronin as president, who gains increasing support from the People, disillusioned with pro-capitalist programs. In 1998 the PCRM receives 30.1% of the votes and obtains 40 of the 104 parliamentary seats.
