November 12, 2016. Câmpulung Muscel, Romania. Another symposium dedicated to Jean Parvulesco. That's when the Jean Parvulesco Committee was founded. It was then that I also met other French nationals with whom I would later collaborate: Emmanuel Leroy and Captain Pierre Plas, with whom I would later work on launching the international think tank Chișinău Forum. Here is the text of my speech from that event: https://blogs.noi.md/ru/post/2933/.
December 2016. Venice. As we had agreed in advance, the core group of the future metapolitical project, the Chisinau Forum (Constantin Parvulesco, Emmanuel Leroy, Captain Pierre Plas, and myself) met in Venice. For several days, we met at the home of Orthodox priest Marcello/Nicola Madaro and at various venues around the city. (Father Nicola has since passed away.) The discussions focused on the idea of creating an anti-globalist conceptual platform to bring together intellectuals from various countries. I proposed that our meetings be held in Chișinău, the capital of the Republic of Moldova. I personally contacted Dugin and invited him to join this initiative. He accepted without hesitation. On November 13, 2016, Igor Dodon, the Kremlin's favorite, was elected president of the Republic of Moldova.
Since I had known Dodon personally for several years, ever since he was Minister of the Economy, I believed I could exert a positive influence on him. In particular, I was thinking about resolving the Transnistrian dispute — that is, bringing the separatist region in the east of the country, which is controlled by Russia, back under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Moldova. At the same time, I hoped to secure certain economic advantages in our relations with Russia (gas at reasonable prices, opening the market to Moldovan products, etc.). Together, we also drafted a courtesy letter to the new head of state, signed by Constantin Parvulesco. But in the end, the man who rose to the head of the country turned out to be a nonentity, obsessed only with his own career, his public image, and amassing wealth.
April 5, 2017. Bucharest. Launch of the anthology Eurasianist Destiny by Aleksandr Dugin, which included “The Fourth Political Theory”, “The Theory of the Multipolar World”, “The Eurasianist Mission”, “The Manifesto of the Global Revolutionary Alliance”, and a series of articles. The book was published simultaneously by the People's University Press in Chișinău and Mica Valahie in Bucharest. The event took place in the conference hall of Ioan Dalles People's University in the center of Romania's capital. The hall was packed. On stage were the book's author, Aleksandr Dugin; its translator and preface writer, Iurie Roșca; French writer Constantin Parvulesco, son of the mystical philosopher Jean Parvulesco; and the director of the Mica Valahie publishing house, Mariana Heroiu. The Atlanticist press and Soros-backed networks went into a frenzy; the state administration and special services were caught off guard and failed to thwart the event. The director of the institution where the event was taking place tried to deny us the use of the venue, but he was told that he would face serious legal trouble, since we had a rental contract for the hall that he had signed and stamped, and which had been paid for in advance.
Dugin amazed the audience with his vast knowledge of Romanian history, culture, philosophy, and literature.
All my efforts to bring Russia and Romania closer together through cultural dialogue were met with the impenetrable wall of the mainstream media, which is waging an all-out war against Russia. I believed that, since the Republic of Moldova is situated culturally and geopolitically between Russia and Romania, it could serve as a golden bridge between the two countries and peoples. Especially since both draw their religious and civilizational roots from Eastern Christianity, from the Byzantine tradition. However, major geopolitical games have led to other developments in our region.

May 26 — 27, 2017, Chișinău. The first international meeting of the Chisinau Forum think tank. Among the participants were Aleksandr Dugin, his daughter Daria Dugin, Hervé Juvin, Emmanuel Leroy (France), Levan Vasadze (Georgia), Father Nicola Madaro (Italy), Captain Pierre Plas (France), and Cristi Pantelimon (Romania). At the request of President Igor Dodon, we paid him a courtesy visit. The first meeting culminated in the adoption of a manifesto titled “Europa Maxima: The Chișinău Manifesto”. The document focused on a traditional, conservative, continentalist vision, advocating for the decolonization of Europe from the dominance of Anglo-American models.
December 14, 2017, Chișinău. The launch of Hervé Juvin's book The Western Wall Did Not Fall, with the author in attendance. The event was organized on the eve of an international meeting held as part of the Chisinau Forum. Speakers: Igor Dodon, President of the Republic; Aleksandr Dugin; Iurie Roșca; Herve Juvin; Valerie Bugault; Lucien Cerise; Emmanuel Leroy.

2017. A few visits to Paris. Thanks to Emmanuel Leroy and Captain Pierre Plas, I met a number of authors whose works I had translated at the People's University in Chișinău, among them Hervé Juvin, Jean-Michel Vernochet, Marion Sigaut, Ivan Blot, and Lucien Cerise. In the years that followed, I returned to Paris several times, establishing relationships with the authors and publishers who interested me.
Here is the list of books by French authors that I have translated, published, prefaced and promoted:
- Hervé Juvin, The Western Wall Did Not Fall — 2017;
- Valérie Bugault and Jean Rémy, Killing Plutocracy — 2017
- Jean-Michel Vernochet, The Cold Civil War: Republican Theogony, from Robespierre to Macron — 2017
- Jean Parvulesco, Vladimir Putin and Eurasia — 2017
- Ivan Blot, Colonized Europe — 2018
- Youssef Hindi, The Mystique of Secularism — 2018
- Hervé Juvin, The Governance of Desire — 2018
- Lucien Cerise, Neuro-Pirates — 2019
- Pierre-Antoine Plaquevent, Soros and the Open Society — 2020
- Pierre-Antoine Plaquevent, Globalism and Depopulation — 2023
- Youssef Hindi, Covidism and Messianism — 2023
- Valérie Bugault, The Hidden Causes of World Disorder Vol. 1 and 2 — 2023
All these books were published only by the People's University of Chisinau. The absolute majority of these books were distributed free of charge to those who wanted them in the Republic of Moldova and Romania. Thousands of readers are my witnesses. All of them were publicly launched in Chisinau. And only a small fraction of the books were sold in bookstores in the Republic of Moldova. They were financed entirely by me and a few close friends. I did not covet commercial success, but rather the promotion of ideas and values.
At the beginning of 2018, I had other books in the works from French authors such as Alain Soral, Marion Sigaut, Pierre Hillard, Claire Sévérac. But on February 28 of that year, 25 prosecutors and investigators arrived at my home. They searched me and seized about 11 thousand euros intended for future editorial projects. I was being persecuted in an exemplary manner by the criminal regime for my harsh journalistic criticism. This ruined me financially and stopped my editorial work for a few years.
Below are the covers of these books, taken from my blog:

I also have the covers of books by three authors published in 2023 and partially sold in a bookstore:
