The authors undertake a historical and documentary incursion in the article, in order to establish the events that proceeded and those that succeeded the Dniester war of 1992 for the defense of the independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova. Along these lines, it is mentioned that, during the current stage, young people in the region controlled by Russian troops are obliged to respect the “legislation” of an outlawed separatist regime. Apparently, recruits from the region are deprived of the opportunity to know the History of our nation, the legislation of the Republic of Moldova as well as international legislation. The separatist regime in Tiraspol requires these young people to defend a criminal group that cannot in any way be considered an independent state. At the same time, the “law bodies” of the so-called DMR (“Dniester Moldavian Republic”) follow the young people who live in the region, who refuse to do military service. Following the threat of a custodial sentence, they are forced to enlist in the so-called Transnistrian army.
