President of the Transnistrian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
In 2006, Korzhan assumed the role of President of the Transnistrian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This influential position placed him at the forefront of Transnistria's economic affairs.
Efforts to Prevent Economic Blockade
In March 2006, Korzhan became the face of Transnistria's efforts to prevent an economic blockade imposed by Ukraine and Moldova. Ukraine announced that only goods from Transnistria that had passed through customs on Moldovan territory would be allowed into their country.
Appeal to Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
In response, Korzhan reached out to the President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Yevgeny Primakov, requesting his assistance in preventing the blockade. Korzhan argued that the new customs regulations would impose a significant tax burden on Transnistrian industries, leading to a rise in consumer prices and a humanitarian crisis.
Intervention by the Russian Foreign Ministry
Primakov condemned the actions of Ukraine and Moldova as a violation of the 1997 Memorandum on the Normalization of Relations between the Republic of Moldova and Transnistria. He appealed to the Russian Foreign Ministry, which intervened to lift the blockade on March 16, 2006.
Legacy
Vasiliy Korzhan's intervention played a pivotal role in preventing the economic collapse of Transnistria. His advocacy for the republic's economic interests solidified his status as a staunch defender of its autonomy.
