Facts

According to the newspaper "Sovereign Moldova" of 10 December 1991, despite the prohibitions imposed by Smirnov in Transnistria in many places it was still possible to open polling stations. This happened not only in rural areas with ethnic Romanian majority, but even in Tiraspol, wher a polling station was opened in the premises of the local Pedagogical Institute. This was possible thanks to the courage shown by the rector of the institution, Mihai Coşcodan, and his deputy, Peter Tolocenco.

The Moscow edition of the newspaper "Izvestia" wrote in its 10 December 1991 edition that "although (Snegur) had counter-candidates, the elections can be considered an overwhelming victory." On the afternoon of 8 December, many citizens participated in the vote, with about 60 percent of citizens voting. Izvestia also reported that not only Moldovans, i.e. those of Romanian nationality, but also minorities voted for Snegur, especially in southern localities inhabited mostly by the Gagauz, but also in Transnistria. In other words, citizens of different ethnicities namely Snegur saw him as a guaranteer of stability and reconciliation.[1]

He was educated in the Tiraspol State Pedagogical Institute "Taras Shevchenko" (now the Tiraspol State University, UST), specializing in geography and biology, and earning his Ph.D., and becoming an associate professor.
