Story

The first information about the settlement on the territory of the city dates back to the first half of the 15th century. One of the first mentions of Rybnitsa dates back to 1628, when it was marked as a settlement on the map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland. There are a number of versions about the origin of the name of the city. According to one of them, it came from the name of the Dry Rybnitsa river of the same name, at the mouth of which, at the confluence with the Dniester, the settlement was founded. According to the second - it is named after the nobleman Rydvan, who, having risen to the rank of colonel among the Turks, "remembering the fat pork of personal places" - decides to flee to the left bank of the Dniester, under the arm of the Polish king. Soon a wooden fortress was being built and a settlement appeared under the name of Rydvanets. This fact is mentioned in the book of the Turkish traveler Evliya Celebi, who visited these parts with the army in 1656-1657.

locals they bred fish in blocked reservoirs along the Rybnitsa river. One pond was located in the Pushkin area, the second - on Zarechnaya, and the third - in the recreation area. They alternately released water, collected fish and sold it to visiting merchants. This is how the merchants quietly renamed Rydvanets into Rybnitsa. This settlement was part of the Polish kingdom.

In 1793, as a result of the second division of the Commonwealth, this territory was transferred to the Russian Federation, and from 1797 until the October Revolution, Rybnitsa was part of the Molokish volost of the Baltsky district of the Podolsk province. At the end of the 19th century, a Railway. Since 1893, systematic navigation has been established on the Dniester. In 1898, the first sweet factory in the Podolsk province was built with the first electric generator in the region.

In 1924, Rybnitsa became an urban-type settlement and a regional center of the Moldavian ASSR. In 1926, 9.4 thousand inhabitants lived in the city (38.0% - Jews, 33.8% - Ukrainians, 16.0% - Moldavians). In 1938 Rybnitsa acquires the status of a city. In 1941-42, the remaining Jewish population of Rybnitsa was brutally tortured by the Romanian and German invaders. A memorial sign was erected at the place of executions of 500 Rybnitsa residents.

During the existence of the MSSR, the following plants operated in the city: sugar-alcohol, wine-making, bakery products, cement-slate, metallurgical, etc., factories: reinforced concrete structures and building parts, pumping, butter-making, etc., knitwear and linen factory. The population in 1975 was 39.9 thousand inhabitants, and in 1991 - already 62.9 thousand people. By 2005, the population had grown to 67.3 thousand people.

As a result of the construction of the reservoir and the flooding of the lower part of the city, the center was replanned, and in this moment the city is dominated by high-rise buildings. There is a pier and a railway station. A recreation area has been located near the reservoir since 1955.

Gorge Kalaur in Rashkovo

As a result of the victory of the Lithuanian prince Olgerd on the Sinyukha river, Podolia was given to his nephew Fyodor Koriatovich. He ordered to build the castle of Kalaur over a narrow gorge around the turn of the river, on the border of Lithuania and Moldova, which by the end of the 14th century was almost completely ready. During the marriage of the offspring of B. Khmelnitsky - Timosha and the daughter of the Moldavian ruler V. Lupu - Ruksanda, the newlyweds receive this castle as a present from B. Khmelnitsky, but, unfortunately, it has not survived to this day. The ancient church of St. Cayetana in Rashkov, built in 1749 (baroque) by the Polish magnate Stanisław Lubomirski (1704-93). The two towers are decorated with Ionic and Tuscan order pilasters. Art. Lubomirsky from 1764 became the governor of Bratslav, his residence was Shargorod, but a huge number of palaces belong to Lubomirsky throughout Poland (Warsaw, Rzeszow, Przemysl). The treasures of Tatar silver and Swedish coins found here, as well as the ruins of a huge synagogue with a secret staircase in the wall, speak of the former glory of Rashkov in the Middle Ages.

nature reserve and Trinity Monastery in Saharna

The natural reserve "Saharna" is located on the right bank of the Dniester, 10 km from the city, includes a gorge, 5 km long and 170 meters deep, a huge number of springs and a forest area dominated by oak, hornbeam, acacia with an area of ​​​​670 hectares. The Saharna Stream forms 22 waterfalls on its way, the largest of which falls from a height of four meters. The steep slopes are cut by ravines, and in the early morning the gorge is wrapped in fog and, as the legend says, a person can disappear in it forever ... The Trinity Monastery (1776) hid in the gorge and is located, as it were, in a huge shell. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Annunciation Church was carved into a 15-meter mountain, in which hermit monks lived and at the moment there are the relics of St. Macarius. The summer Trinity Church was built in the upper courtyard in 1821 - the dome on a high drum impresses in the interior, the inner place is opened up with tremendous energy. And where the foot of the Virgin Mary once stepped, and her imprint remained, at the moment a chapel has been built.

Assumption rock monastery in Tsypovo

It is carved in a very large cliff, it is more significant of the rock complexes, located 20 km south of Rybnitsa on the right bank of the Dniester. The middle part of the monastery was carved in the Middle Ages and had a system of protective passages; a narrow path over the abyss led to not quite large cells, protecting the inhabitants from dashing newcomers. The caves were cut down from trees growing nearby, and when the trees were cut down, the entrance to the caves was possible only by rope ladders, which, in case of danger, went up. At the end of the 18th century, the threat of raids passed, the approaches were improved, the cells were expanded and the church premises were created. “All hidden in the mountain, the monastery from the Dniester looks whitening between the mountains with an array of limestone with dark gaps in the windows. At different times of the day, it is diverse: it is unusually picturesque in the morning, when the facade, colored by sunrise, echoes its counterpart in the river surface from a height of fifty meters. Graphically correctly drawn in the rays of the midday sun, marked by sharp shadows from overhanging blocks of stone. It is poetic in the evening, when mysteriously faded, slightly distinguishable on a shaded mountain, together with it, an indistinct reflection falls into the waters of the Dniester. (D. Goberman)

Note:

In the modern world, there are not so few unrecognized or partially Pridnestrovie among them. It is a tiny country with an undetermined status, located in the southeastern part of Europe. This article will help you find out which cities belong to Pridnestrovie, as well as tell you a lot of interesting information about them.

Transnistria: a brief essay on the unrecognized state

Transnistria (officially abbreviated - PMR) is a narrow strip of land between the Dniester and the territory of Ukraine. De jure, these territories belong to Moldova. De facto, there is a self-governing republic, but not recognized by the world community, which declared its independence in 1990. Today the situation with the Transnistrian region is classified in the European politicum as a "frozen conflict".

The area of ​​modern Transnistria is tiny even in comparison with miniature Moldova (slightly more than 4000 sq. km). About 500 thousand people live within the republic (about 70% of this number live in cities). The ethnic structure of the population is dominated by three peoples: Moldovans, Ukrainians and Russians.

The PMR inherited a number of large industrial enterprises from the Soviet economy. Among them are the Moldavian State District Power Plant, a metallurgical and textile plant, and a cognac factory. Major cities of Transnistria actively trade with the European Union. True, all products manufactured in the republic are marked with the Made in Moldova sign.

In conclusion of our short story about Transnistria, a few interesting facts about this territorial entity:

  • The PMR is the only country in the world whose flag and coat of arms depict the main Soviet attributes (hammer, sickle and five-pointed star);
  • in Transnistria there are embassies of two other unrecognized states - Abkhazia and South Ossetia;
  • the cities of Transnistria are distinguished by neatness, grooming and cleanliness, which is often compared with Belarusian;
  • in the Transnistrian city of Bender died here in 1710, another Ukrainian hetman presented the public with the first constitution in Europe;
  • two largest cities the republics (Bendery and Tiraspol) are connected by one of the few intercity trolleybus lines in Europe with a length of 13 kilometers;
  • in Transnistria there are offices of the political party "United Russia";
  • the Transnistrian ruble in 2012-2015 was recognized as the strongest currency in the post-Soviet space.

History of one war

The collapse of the USSR intensified separatist movements and with renewed vigor ignited a number of conflicts in different parts of the vast empire. One of these hot spots was the left bank of the Dniester.

In the early 1990s, the conflict between the newly minted Moldovan authorities and the Transnistrian nomenklatura elite escalated significantly. Pridnestrovians did not want to be part of Moldova, fearing rapprochement with Romania.

The conflict entered the phase of open military confrontation in the spring of 1992. In March, Moldova decided to restore its power over the rebellious left bank of the Dniester by force. However, units of the 14th Russian Army, as well as guardsmen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, acted on the side of the Pridnestrovians. Therefore, the Moldovans failed to establish control over Transnistria, and the Dniester River very quickly turned into a front line.

The culmination of this war was the battle for the city of Bendery. In July 1992, Pridnestrovian armed detachments, supported by Russian tanks, crossed the Dniester and entrenched themselves in Bendery. A real massacre began on the streets of the city, claiming the lives of 600 people. After this battle, the parties began to look for ways to peacefully resolve the conflict and, finally, signed a peace agreement in Moscow.

Overall, about 1,200 people died in the Transnistrian conflict.

Cities of Transnistria

Administratively, the territory of the PMR is divided into 5 districts. Within the unrecognized state, there are 8 cities (they are listed from north to south):

  • Kamenka;
  • Rybnitsa;
  • Dubossary;
  • Grigoriopol;
  • capital Tiraspol;
  • Bendery;
  • Slobodzeya;
  • border town of Dnestrovsk.

Transnistria also hosts a number of disputed and dual status territories. These include several villages (Koshnitsa, Pyryta, Dorotskoe, etc.), the Varnitsa microdistrict in Bendery and the village of Korzhevo in Dubossary.

Almost the capital - the city of Tiraspol

Pridnestrovie, like any other country in the world, has its own capital. This is the city of Tiraspol. Although it is very difficult for a person from the post-Soviet space to imagine a capital with a population of 130 thousand people. Nevertheless, the "capital" is felt here. The quiet, provincial streets of Tiraspol are distinguished by a certain solidity, and in massive public buildings one can feel the “spirit of power”, although not recognized by anyone.

Tiraspol houses the government and parliament of the PMR. In addition, the city is an important historical and cultural center not only of Transnistria, but of the whole of Moldova.

From the Greek language, the name Tiraspol is translated very simply and clearly - “the city on the Dniester”. It really is located on the left bank of the largest Eastern European river, just six kilometers from the border with Ukraine. The city was founded in 1792. It was at this time, on the orders of Suvorov, that the construction of the fortress began here. In 1806, Tiraspol became a county center within the Kherson province, and between the two world wars, it managed to visit the center of the Moldavian ASSR.

Modern Tiraspol is quite pleasant. Its center pleases with cleanliness, tidiness, wide sidewalks, neat flower beds and a large number of rare (Soviet) artifacts.

There are few tourist attractions in the capital of the PMR. These can include old fortress(end of the 18th century), the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ (2000), the chic and pompous House of Soviets, built in the 50s. In addition, tourists in Tiraspol like to visit the modern Sheriff sports complex, which occupies a huge area of ​​65 hectares.

Bender is the most touristic city in Transnistria

Very few cities of Pridnestrovie can boast of constant visits by tourists from near and far abroad. Bender is one of those. If travelers decide to go to the PMR, then they definitely visit this city.

The city of Bender is the second in size and population in the republic. And the first in the number of historical and architectural monuments. In the city center, many beautiful buildings of the 19th-20th centuries have been preserved. But the main tourist attraction in Bendery is the ancient and well-preserved Turkish fortress. By the way, part of the citadel is still occupied by an active military unit.

Along with traditional architectural monuments there are quite a few "monuments" of the 1992 war in Bendery. For example, they decided not to restore the walls of the city hall, beaten by fragments of shells. Traces of the war can still be seen on its facades.

Rybnitsa - the industrial center of Transnistria

In the north of the unrecognized country, surrounded by the picturesque hills of the Podolsk Upland, the city of Rybnitsa is located. Pridnestrovie owes much to this city with its powerful industrial complex. Rybnitsa provides about half of the PMR's budget revenues, as well as about 60% of the republic's exports. More than 400 different enterprises operate here.

From the point of view of tourism, the city is not very remarkable. Of the local attractions - a large-scale Victory Memorial, the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael (the largest in the PMR), as well as a magnificent (in terms of historical value) cemetery. Another highlight of Rybnitsa can be called an abandoned cable car(industrial purpose), effectively hovering over the Dniester.

Kamenka - a resort pearl of Transnistria

If the title of the tourist mecca of the republic rightfully belongs to Bendery, then the city of Kamenka can safely be called the "recreational capital" of the unrecognized state. Transnistria can really boast of a pretty good resort, which has been known since the 1870s. The city of Kamenka is located in the extreme north of the PMR, at the confluence of the river of the same name with the Dniester. Unique natural and climatic conditions have been formed here: a rocky, almost mountain range reliably shelters the city from cold winds, providing the Pridnestrovian resort with long summers and rather mild winters.

Only 9 thousand people live in Kamenka. The foundation of the local economy is agriculture and resorts. The most famous in the republic sanatorium "Dnestr" operates in the city, designed for the simultaneous improvement of 450 people. Kamenka is also famous for its fragrant and very tasty grapes and, accordingly, excellent wine.

Dnestrovsk - the energy heart of the republic

The city of Dnestrovsk is located in the extreme south of the PMR, in close proximity to the Ukrainian border. It is here that the largest power plant in the republic is located. The electricity generated here is even exported (to Moldova and Ukraine).

By chance, the Moldavskaya GRES in 1964 was built on the left bank of the river. If this had not happened, the economic independence of the unrecognized republic would now be in question. Today, about 10 thousand people live in the city. Most of the population of Dnestrovsk works at the local power plant.

The third largest city (50 thousand inhabitants) and the second largest city of Pridnestrovie is Rybnitsa, 130 kilometers away from Tiraspol. Even historically: as already mentioned, the PMR consists of two halves - "Novorossiysk" and "Podolsk", and if Tiraspol is the center of the first, then Rybnitsa is the second. Before the revolution, it was a large Jewish town in the Balta district, since 1925 - an urban-type settlement, since 1938 - a city, but the turning point in the life of Rybnitsa was 1984, when the Moldavian Metallurgical Plant was launched. It is small, 5-10 times smaller than any of the main metallurgical plants in Russia, but it is enough for tiny Transnistria: Rybnitsa accounts for 52% of budget revenues and 65% of the republic's exports. There are other factories here, and interesting late Soviet architecture - Rybnitsa is unlike other industrial giants. Special thanks to Alexander for the tour of Rybnitsa bes_arab , without which I would at most take a little walk in the center.

From the site we drove along the bypass, stumbling somewhere on the outskirts, in cottage village, on such a strange monument. Who and in honor of what put it - did not even know the connoisseur of Rybnitsa bes_arab . I didn't know then, now I know - UPD: " Dima Krivoruchenko, a racing driver, crashed at this place in 2008 (every year in May, in Tiraspol, car racing at the airport in Tiraspol is dedicated to his memory). His father promised to make something like a square in this place .. Memorable and at the same time useful to the city, because. earlier there was an overgrown wasteland in this place. Here I did".

I don’t even know what puzzles more - an angel on top or this composition 20-30 centimeters high. Haven't seen this anywhere else.

Behind us was the railroad, along which the lineman wandered, looking thoughtfully in our direction. We went further along the bypass:

Because the MMZ is best seen from the bypass:

The phrase "Moldovan Metallurgical Plant" itself sounds like an oxymoron to me - well, something like the Norilsk Champagne Factory or the Pevek Riviera, if they existed. However, after all, if he were in the Odessa or Vinnitsa region, he would not be at all surprised. Among the metallurgical plants of the Soviet Union, MMZ is one of the three "last wave" of the 1980s - together with the Belarusian Zhlobin and the Far East Komsomolsk-on-Amur: electrometallurgical plants operating on scrap metal were supposed to cover local needs, moreover, between BMZ and MMZ there was a good location and Western Ukraine, which does not have its own metallurgy. As already mentioned, the capacity of the Moldavian Metallurgical Plant is not so great - up to a million tons of steel per year, while, as follows from the official website of the plant, the figures change very much, up to 3.5 times, from year to year. Now the plant is in decline, and yet, without it, Pridnestrovie would hardly have kept afloat. Outwardly, the MMZ, as befits a metallurgical plant, is huge and gloomy.

At the high-rise of the plant management, popularly known as the Pentagon, we turned into the city. Half a kilometer from the steel plant there is an elevator, and at its gate are the ruins of a bunker:

As I understand it, this is a legacy of the 1930s, of everything that is called the "Stalin line" and is being intensively restored in Belarus and Ukraine. Moreover, it is not the only one in Rybnitsa:

The pillbox is located on Kirova Street, which leads straight from here to the city center - although we originally planned to see Rybnitsa on the way back, the cold and fog exhausted us very quickly, and we went to the center to look for a cafe. Victory Square with the administration (to the left of the frame, I didn’t even notice it), the House of Culture and Lenin. Lenin's pose is somehow very cunning, he is clearly plotting something ... Isn't it a revolution, by the hour?

DC has a very nice mosaic. All this is clearly the 1960s, when the city took off with the construction of a cement plant:

At the beginning of the Walk of Fame is the dual Marx Engels:

And the building of the printing house - according to Alexander, pre-war, that is - constructivist. I would venture to suggest that this is the administration of the then Rybnitsa urban-type settlement of the late 1920s, most likely the oldest building in the city center:

And just in the panel, thoroughly Brezhnev Rybnitsa, this district looks almost like a German altstadt:

Also, according to Alexander, the best sushi restaurant in all of Pridnestrovie is located in this area. Indeed, where else would he be, no matter how in a city with that name? Yes, and in principle, in the central part of Rybnitsa it is very cozy and pretty, but all the same, they will accuse me of slandering for a photo of the industrial outskirts ... However, in working-class cities it is always like this - it is impossible to write about them without offending at least half of the inhabitants: if you show industrial and destroy - I denigrate it, if you show civilian areas - I hush it up, but if you show both, I denigrate and hush it up at the same time (at the choice of each particular reader).

We drove along Kirov Street to the edge of the slope:

I think this is a great triptych! West, Russia and the Soviet Union on the same spot!

Down the slope - a stone on the site of the future memorial to the defenders of Pridnestrovie. High-rise buildings of Valchenko against the backdrop of mountains and, again, high-rise buildings of Rezina:

Nobody is forgotten in the church, nothing is forgotten in the cathedral:

In the courtyard of the church - either just figurines of saints, or even a calvarium - a "model" of the way of the cross for Holy Week and religious processions:

According to Alexander, this is a church of some Protestant denomination, but it looks more like some kind of building at the church:

And you can shoot amazing scenes in the courtyard of two temples. Let's say a cross and a star:

Two Saviors:

Crosses and antennas. The cross is also an anna to some extent:

Cross and plant. More precisely, the Pridnestrovian cross and the Moldovan plant, cement has been produced in Rezina since 1985:

From here, in several zigzags along impressive interchanges, we drove off to Valchenko, almost immediately behind which there is a railway station. As in Bender, passenger trains they don’t go here - the station is the directorate and ticket offices:

Although the railway has been here since 1893, it runs from west to east, that is, there is nowhere to go along the PMR, and the products of local factories are exported mainly in the direction of Russia and the port of Odessa. Therefore, the bridge to Rezina has not been working for many years - although it is guarded by machine gunners, Alexander did not advise stopping here:

We are already quite on the outskirts. The first city-forming enterprise of Rybnitsa is a sugar-alcohol plant, founded in 1898 and having the first power plant in Moldova and the PMR. I suspect that this is generally the oldest plant in Transnistria ... but since 2003 it has not been working. Some of its workshops are pre-revolutionary, and are the oldest buildings in Rybnitsa.

But we didn’t stop here for this - even from the bridge I noticed a cable car thrown across the Dniester, here known as the “industrial funicular”:

It once connected Rezina's careers with the Rybnitsa cement plant and stretched for 3-4 kilometers. In the world, such things are not uncommon - it is much more profitable to deliver raw materials from a quarry to a plant than by cars or wagons, and in far abroad I have heard about cable cars tens of kilometers long. But I had only seen this once before: in Bashkiria, and that cable car was still working.

Here - silence and oblivion. Despite the fact that cement factory works properly, spewing dense white dust into the sky - the cable car was killed first of all by the collapse of Moldova into one and a half states:

In Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan, there was once an international Sulukta narrow-gauge railway, and here there is an international industrial cable car. Near the water, as you can see, there is another bunker:

Surreal spectacle:

View of the Dniester from the bunker:

Already when I was leaving, I noticed that the same lineman was wandering dejectedly along the tracks ...

And I apologize for the quality of the photos - the weather ... But as soon as we left Rybnitsa, the clouds and fog dispersed and the bright Sun came out.
In the next part we go to Rashkovo - almost the most beautiful places Transnistria.

Story

The first information about the population on the territory of Rybnitsa dates back to the first half of the 17th century. It is generally accepted that it is named after the Dniester River of the same name. The locals were mainly engaged in agriculture and fishing. This is evidenced by the excavations carried out near the village of Vykhvatintsy, which is 12 km. from the city. Archeological data show that the territory was inhabited in the Paleolithic period 100 thousand years ago.

In the middle of the century, the area was repeatedly subjected to devastating Tatar raids, the swords of Lithuanian feudal lords left their traces here, and from the 16th century it fell under the domination of Panic Poland.

In 1793, as a result of the 2nd partition of the Commonwealth (Poland), this territory was annexed to Russia, and since 1797 Rybnitsa became part of the Molokish volost of the Baltsky district of the Podolsk province.

At the end of the 19th century, a certain influence on further fate Rybnitsa was provided by the railway, which ran through the city. It gave impetus to the development of trade and industry, and made Rybnitsa one of the centers for the formation of the working class.

Since 1893, regular navigation has been established on the Dniester, and a pier was equipped in Rybnitsa.

In 1898, the first sugar factory in Moldova was built with the first electric generator in the region.

The development of deposits of shell rock, used in construction, limestone, used for refining sugar, the so-called "sugar stone", began.

Steam mills, a bakery, a brick factory, lime kilns were built.

In 1871, a ministerial school was opened, after another 6 years - a literacy school for girls. There were 2-class schools.

The history of Rybnitsa is rich in military revolutionary events. The workers of the city and the peasants of nearby villages took an active part in the revolutionary events of 1905-1907.

In 1905, a wave of uprisings swept through Rybnitsa, the villages of Plot, Vasilievka.

In May 1905, an uprising broke out among the peasants of the village of Mokra. The uprising was led by a local peasant Fyodor Antosyak.

The waves of the Great October Socialist Revolution also reached the banks of the gray Dniester. In December 1917, the flag of Soviet power was hoisted in Rybnitsa. During 1918-1919, the Rybnitsa lands were repeatedly attacked by the German-Austrian interventionists, bandits of Hetman Skoropatsky and Petliurists, and in the fall of 1919 Denikin's troops occupied Rybnitsa.

In February 1920, Rybnitsa was liberated by the Red Army.

The days of difficult, cruel struggle were replaced by days of creation, building a new life.

In 1924, Rybnitsa became an urban-type settlement and a regional center of the Moldavian ASSR.

In 1938 Rybnitsa acquires the status of a city. This emphasized the achievements of workers in economic and cultural construction.

During the years of the pre-war five-year plans, a power station was built in the city, the capacities of the sugar factory, lime mining were increased, flour milling and local industries appeared. By 1940, there were already five schools here, three of them were secondary schools, kindergartens, a cinema, and several libraries.

But in 1941, the flames of war again fell. For three years, the German-Romanian invaders ruled the land of Rybnitsa, bringing death and destruction with them. The Nazis destroyed enterprises, plundered collective farms and state farms, took out a lot of valuables. The years of their stay on the land of the Rybnitsa region were marked by mass atrocities and repressions. The Nazi invaders tortured and shot hundreds of people. Retreating, the Nazis left their last bloody trail - in the Rybnitsa prison they shot and burned 270 Soviet patriots and Romanian anti-fascists.

The post-war years are characterized by a sharp acceleration in the pace of technical progress, cultural and economic development for the region and the city.

Today, 15 industrial enterprises are located in the city. Centrifugal pumps produced by the Rybnitsa Pumping Plant are known far beyond the borders of the republic. They are supplied to many economic regions of the former Soviet Union and far abroad. The city also has a bakery plant with a powerful elevator, a winery, a dairy plant, a bakery, and a nonwovens factory. In the late 50s, the construction of a cement-slate plant began in the city. In 1961, the enterprise produced its first products.

In 1984, the Moldavian Metallurgical Plant was built, which is now one of the top ten ferrous metallurgy enterprises in the world, whose products are of high quality and are in demand both in the CIS countries and in a number of far-abroad countries.

The city has a new railroad station, bus station.

The area has established itself as a major educational center. In addition to 39 secondary schools, specialists are trained by 2 lyceums, branches of the Pridnestrovian University and the North-Western Polytechnic Institute, a branch of the Moscow Academy of Economics and Law.
