History

Lenta PMR was founded in July 2004 by Russian strategist and publicist Roman Konoplev. The agency published news and analysis of social-political, economic, scientific and financial subjects on the internet and via email. The main purpose of the project was to analyse the situation in the internationally unrecognized state of Transnistria and the rest of Moldova.
After the 2011 presidential election in Transnistria, the agency adopted an opposition-leaning stance. In December 2012, the news agency was banned by the Transnistrian government. The last editor-in-chief of Lenta PMR was the Transnistrian politician Dmitry Soin.
