Parcani (Template:Lang-mo-Cyrl; Template:Langx, Parkani; Template:Langx, Parkany; Template:Langx, Parkany) is a large commune and village in the Slobozia District of Transnistria, a de facto independent entity within the internationally recognized borders of Moldova. The village has a population of around 10,500, of whom 95% are ethnic Bulgarians (Bessarabian Bulgarians). The first Bulgarian colonists arrived in the village in the early 19th century.[1] According to some sources, it is the largest Bulgarian-majority village outside the borders of Bulgaria.[2] A monument to Bulgarian national hero Vasil Levski was unveiled in Parcani in September 2008.[3]
The village lies between Tiraspol and Bender; it is serviced by the trolleybus line between the two cities.
Reports of an attack on a military unit of the Armed Forces of Transnistria near Parcani appeared on 25 April 2022.[4] It was later clarified that these reports referred to an attack that had occurred on that day on the Tiraspol Airport.[5] This incident was part of a series of attacks of unknown authorship that occurred in Transnistria in that year during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which may have been a false flag operation by Russia or Transnistria itself.[6]
According to the Soviet census of 1939, the population of the town was 7,363 inhabitants, of which 111 (1.51%) were Moldovans (Romanians), 6,614 (89.83%) Bulgarians, 373 (5.07%) Russians and 230 (3.12%) Ukrainians.[7]
According to the 2004 census, the population of the commune was 10,543, of which 824 (7.81%) were Moldovans (Romanians), 1,180 (11.19%) Ukrainians, 1,668 (18.82%) Russians and 6,648 (63.05%) Bulgarians.[8]
