Proriv (Transnistria)

"Proriv" (Cyrillic: ПРОРЫВ, Russian for 'Breakthrough') is a political youth movement and political party in Transnistria whose methods are allegedly modelled on pro-western organizations Otpor, Kmara and other participants of colored revolutions in the post-Soviet countries.

Originally it was founded in 2005 as a political youth organization part of the "international" (i.e. in the post-Soviet space) pro-Russian Proriv organization that has also a branch in Ukraine (Crimea). A year later, on June 2, 2006, the Transnistrian branch of Proriv formally registered itself as a political party. It uses the yellow as political color and the world-known B&W photo of Communist guerrilla fighter Che Guevara as a symbol. It is associated with the 'Che Guevara High School for Political Leadership' in Tiraspol. The 'Che Guevara High School' has been established in order to provide training for the young political activists. Its head is Dmitriy Soin, a sociologist and officer of the Transnistrian ministry of state security. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4208194.stm]

Chairman of the party is Aleksandr Gorelovskiy, the youth movement has a mostly slav female leadership, with Alena Arshinova as president and Olga Paterova (born 1984) as press secretary.
