Her name is Nelli Tcaciuc and she is a businesswoman who owns a peace firm from the Republic of Moldova. In fact, the Moldovan press wrote that ÎPS Vladimir would have been in the name of most of the properties it owns.
Who is PSV Vladimir?
The Metropolitanate of Moldova is one of the richest institutions in the Republic of Moldova, and Metropolitan Vladimir has been the subject of several, as well as journalistic, his properties and private life in the company of luxurious first ladies.
Metropolitan Vladimir was born in the village of Colencauti, Hotin district, Chernivtsi region on August 18, 1952, but began his priestly career in Smolensk in Russia. He was temporarily transferred to Chernivtsi in 1981, after graduating from the Moscow Theological Seminary, and in 1989 from the Moscow Theological Academy.
By the will of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, Pimen, as well as the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church on July 7, 1989, Archimandrite Vladimir, then secretary of the Chernivtsi Diocesan Directorate, was elected bishop of Chisinau and Moldova during the national revival movements . in Bessarabia.
Since then, he is the head of the Russian Orthodox Church which is canonically subordinate to Moscow.
The Metropolitanate of Moldova together with its leaders is involved in political life in supporting the pro-Russian parties and the conservative agenda and against the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the European Union, a fact that threatens the society of the Republic of Moldova. It also often functioned as an extended policy of Russian influence in the Republic of Moldova.
Experts estimate that between the Metropolitanate of Moldova, canonically subordinate to the Moscow Patriarchate, and the Metropolitanate of Bessarabia, subordinated to the Romanian Orthodox Church, there is a ratio of about 8 to 1 regarding the number of churches that the two have.
