Abstract
Aim. To consider the foreign policy and domestic political contexts which accompanied the development of the “Kozak Memorandum” as the best option for the long-term settlement of the Transnistrian conflict.
Methodology. When conducting the study, such methods as theoretical analysis, generalization, comparative-historical and problem-chronological methods were used.
Results. In the case of study, the reasons why the project was rejected by the President of the Republic of Moldova V. Voronin were analyzed; the article also discloses the value of the unused but still relevant potential of this document in the Transnistrian settlement.
Research implications. The content of the draft settlement of the Transnistrian problem, which did not receive further development, was analyzed. It is justified that the adoption of the “Kozak Memorandum” could have become a turning point in the long-term, if not final, settlement of the Transnistrian problem. The results of the article can be used in compiling lecture courses on modern history and foreign policy of Russia, the history of conflicts in the post-Soviet space, as well as as one of the positions for further research on this issue.
