 BHHRG
ZUBR is a Russian acronym that stands for “For a Union with Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.” However, the word “Zubr” also means “Bison” in Russian, and the ZUBR organizations in Transnistria, Ukraine and Russia should not be confused with the “Zubr” youth organization in Belarus, named after the Belarusian national symbol (the bison).
ZUBR in Transnistria is pro-Russian and clearly a homegrown business-oriented grouping to a large extent.
In fact, ironically, ZUBR in Transnistria is much closer than Zubr in Belarus to the sort of grassroots social organizations associated with a traditional Western understanding of “civil society,” the establishment of which Western governments and media liberally proclaim to be one of the West’s primary goals in the ex-USSR.
