The Pridnestrovie Communist Party ("PKP", after its Russian initials) is a political party in Transnistria.
The Pridnestrovie Communist Party is the local succesor to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It was banned for part of the 1990's. Its leader is Oleg Khorzhan.[1] who has been called "young and dynamic" by Olvia Press, in contrast to the "conservation" Communist Party of Pridnestrovie headed by Vladimir Gavrilchenko.
Although it fielded candidates for parliament in the legislative elections of 11 December 2005, it failed to gain a single seat and has no political representation outside local government.
It supports independent statehood for Transnistria but opposes the administration of President Igor Smirnov.[2]
Its candidate for the December 10, 2006 presidential election is Nadesha Bondarenko, editor of Dnestrovskaya Pravda.
