Aleksandr Radchenko

Aleksandr Radchenko (Russian: Алекса́ндр Рáдченко; 1943 – 13 November 2014) was an ethnic Ukrainian[1] politician and human rights activist from Transnistria.

A former Soviet military officer, he was the editor of a small opposition newspaper in Tiraspol called Chelovek i ego prava (Man and His Rights).

In 1994 Radchenko founded the now-defunct political party Power to the People (Vlast narodu).

He was accused by the Transnistrian Minister of Justice of crimes against the state as he was advocating the restoration of Moldova's territorial integrity and, therefore, the liquidation of the separate Transnistrian state.

Alexander Radchenko participated in the 9 December 2001 Transnistrian presidential election, running against the incumbent Igor Smirnov and Tom Zenovich.
