Origin
I saw the recent emphasis about the Romanian origin of Voronin, and indeed some Romanian newspapers wrote about it. His mother was surely Romanian (Moldovan from Transnistria), however, I thought that Voronin's father was Russian (this is why he has a Russian family name) and only his stepfather was Romanian. I am not sure that what Romanian press wrote about his origin is correct.--MariusM (talk) 16:25, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * If his mother was "Moldovan from Transnistria", it means she was "Moldovan", not "Romanian"! СЛУЖБА (talk) 19:08, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * It seems it's the other way around - father Moldovan, step father - Russian. Is there no official biography of him, I wonder? --Illythr (talk) 22:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You consider now Dabija as RS? ;-) It seems Voronin is keeping discretion about his ethnic origin. I remember him in a discussion at Antena 1 Romanian TV long time ago, he was asked directly "what language do you speak?" and he told that when he is speaking with his mother he is speaking "Moldovan". My conclusion was that with his father he is speaking in a different language. Anyhow, with his wife and with his children he is speaking Russian. Also with his cat, as I saw in a documentary which was for a while source for Transnistria article. When talking with their cats, people are most sincere.--MariusM (talk) 22:29, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I consider Dabija "hearsay" in such matters. I see no reason for him to bluntly lie about Voronin's father, though. Why lie if one can always pick the "right" facts and interpret them the "right" way?
 * Many Moldovans (especially middle-aged) are Russian-speakers, so that's not a decisive factor. --Illythr (talk) 23:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

With regard to the "Moldovan-speaking schools", there is no such thing as a Moldovan language. We call it, Romanian. I will donate Wikipedia a dollar for every proof of existence of certified Romanian-Moldovan translators outside Moskow.--Special:Contributions/-Tatar Bunar file (talk) 10:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

The article says: "his grandfather Isidor Sârbu was an anticommunist fighter in Romania after 1944.[1][2][3] Voronin's mother, Pelagheia Bujeniţă, died on July 2, 2005.[4]" Who is this grandfather? Father of father or father of mother? If he is father of mother, he has no connection whatsoever to Vladimir's ethnicity. Ethnicity is strictly through the direct male line.

This is truly ridiculous
The article reads like an anti-Voronin manifesto, especially the bit about the recent riots etc. Zbanochkou (talk) 14:34, 3 June 2009 (UTC) As much as I hate him, the communists, and the s*#ty situation Moldova is in (politically and economically), I have to admit that Zbanochkou is right.Is there someone able to rewrite the said paragraph as fact and not as opinion (I know I can't due to explained reasons)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.129.44.87 (talk) 13:08, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

July or August?
Vladimir Voronin says "In the parliamentary election in August 2009, ... " That links to a disambiguation page showing 2 elections. But Moldovan parliamentary election, July 2009 appears to describe the same election, and says it happened on July 29. July or August? Art LaPella (talk) 17:27, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

This is not an article about whether or not his economic and social stances contradict
Despite the fact that he identifies himself as a left-wing politician, Voronin is intolerant on social issues. He is against immigration[28] and he rejects the building of mosques in Moldova,[29] as well as LGBT rights.[30]

This should be changed since Eastern European hard left politicians have always tended to have a societal conservative stance. Solidarityandfreedom (talk) 09:50, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
