A search of the documentation currently available to the DIRB provided a few brief references to Interfront and Intermovement. It is not clear from the documentation, however, whether these two names refer to one or two organizations.

The attached 29 April 1992 report by TASS on the burning of the Moldovan Unitatya-Unity Movement headquarters refers to this organization as a successor of Inter-movement. In the attached excerpt, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, reporting on opinion surveys conducted between June 1991 and February 1992, refers briefly to the "hard-line Internationalist Movement for Unity (Intermovement Edinstvo)" during its discussion of public support for the Communist Party (27 Mar. 1992, 61). An article on Moldova from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) of 3 January 1992 notes the Intermovement 'Edinstvo' (the 'internationalist' organization of Russian hard-line Communists) practically disappeared from the political scene [in 1991] (43).
A previous report from RFE/RL states that "the Internationalist Movement 'Edinstvo' (Unity) is active in Kishinev and other cities on the right bank of the Dniester [River]" and indicates that the organization was a right-wing offshoot of the Moldovan Communist Party (17).

Interfront is mentioned in the 27 November 1992 and 1 May 1992 issues of the RFE/RL Research Report. The November issue states
Among the right-bank [of the Dniester River] Slavic populations, Interfront and similar pro-Soviet organizations began to lose support rapidly, during the second half of 1991, to more moderate leaders (some of them defectors from Interfront) willing to seek accommodation with the Moldovan parliamentary majority and with the government (6).
The May 1992 issue indicates that the rural Ukrainian families who have lived in Moldova for centuries have been "unreceptive to the Russian Interfront movement," although more recent immigrants have apparently supported the concept of a Dniester republic (42). These articles are attached to Response to Information Request MDA13196 of 17 Februay 1993 which will be forwarded to you.
