Moldova - Personal background



Vladimir Voronin was born on 25 May 1941 in Corjova, a village near Chisinau. He studied engineering and economics at the Chisinau Technical College and the Metallurgical Institute. He later studied law in the Soviet Union, and in 1985 he became a member of the Congress of the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic (essentially, he was a representative of Moldova in the Soviet Union's communist party hierarchy). He remained a highly placed Communist party functionary during the chaotic late 1980s and early 1990s as the Soviet Union began to crumble. Even while serving as the chief of Moldovan Communist Party, he maintained his status as a reservist in the Russian Federation police department. Voronin is married and has two children.
