PAVEL ANDREICHENKO IS THE LEADER OF THE ROMA SOCIAL-CULTURAL MOVEMENT IN THE LATE 90S – EARLY 2000S: NEW FACTS AND EVIDENCE

Summary/Abstract: In the presented article, an attempt was made to fill in the information about a well-known person in our republic, a dancer, choreographer, writer and leader of the Roma social movement, this is Pavel Andreichenko. New facts and testimonies found on the pages of the republican press testify to the versatility of the talent of this outstanding representative of the Roma people. Many years ago we wrote about P. Andreichenko as the author of one book – “Ten notebooks in the squares”, which told about the difficult fate of the entire gypsy people, who experienced humiliation and deprivation for many centuries, and in the XXth century experienced a real genocide. Pavel Andreichenko entered the history of the Roma people living in the Republic of Moldova by the fact that he was one of the first to appeal to the local authorities for help in creating a gypsy theater, opening gypsy schools, and an interest club for children and youth. In addition, Pavel Andreichenko was one of the first to speak in an interview about the mass execution of gypsies in Chisinau (near the districte “Old Post Office”). It was here, on this spot, he wanted to erect a monument to Roma children and adults, the victims who fell during the Second World War. It seems to us that the experience of social activity of the “Space Gypsy Pasha”, as Emil Loteanu once called him, can serve as an example for his followers, young activists and leaders of the Roma social movement, who have taken on the noble mission of making the dreams and aspirations of Pavel Andreichenko come true.
