Abstract

Abstract On 17 September 2006, the leadership of Transnistria unilaterally held a sovereignty referendum, despite knowing it would not be implemented. It means it was driven by other motives than the reallocation of sovereignty. Drawing on a new suite of sources, including interviews with Transnistrian elites and Russian journalism, this paper argues that the primary motivation behind the poll was the desire of Transnistria’s President Igor Smirnov to domestically empower himself to gain the electoral advantage in the imminent presidential elections. The study also provides a framework of the motivations for calling of unilateral sovereignty referendums in de facto states.

2006年德涅斯特河沿岸的主权公投:选举优势的手段
摘要2006年9月17日,德涅斯特河左岸领导人单方面举行了主权公投,尽管他们知道公投不会实施。这意味着,除了重新分配主权之外,它还有其他动机。本文引用了一系列新的消息来源,包括对德涅斯特河左岸精英和俄罗斯新闻界的采访,认为此次民意调查背后的主要动机是德涅斯特河畔总统伊戈尔·斯米尔诺夫希望在国内增强自己的能力,在即将到来的总统选举中获得选举优势。该研究还为呼吁在事实上的国家举行单方面主权公投的动机提供了一个框架。
