Rise to the first Prime Minister of Moldova

After attending school, he completed a degree in economics at the “ Serghei Lazo ” polytechnic in Chișinău . After completing his studies, in 1971 he first became chief economist at the State Committee for Prices (Comitetul de Stat pentru Prețuri) of the Moldovan SSR , before becoming head of the prices section in the Ministry of Building Materials Industry (Ministerului Industriei Materialelor de Construcții) in 1976. In this he worked until 1990 and after working as a senior economist in the department for economic planning from 1979 to 1980 he was again head of the prices section until 1984, before he was head of the finance section from 1984 to 1988. Most recently, from 1988 to 1990, he was Head of the Ministry's Economy Department. During the last government of the Moldovan SSR by Prime Minister Mircea Druc , he was Deputy Prime Minister of Finance (Ministru al Finanțelor) from May 1990 to May 1991.

After the declaration of the former Moldavian SSR to the Republic of Moldova on May 23, 1991, he became the first Prime Minister of the new Republic on May 28, 1991. During his term of office, the declaration of independence followed on August 27, 1991, and finally, on December 25, 1991, the separation from the USSR as the last step of independence. His government initially consisted of the following ministers:

  • Foreign Minister Nicolae Țîu
  • Finance Minister Constantin Tampize
  • Industry and Energy Minister Alexandru Ion Barbu
  • Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry Andrei Sangheli
  • Minister of Culture and Religious Affairs Ion Ungureanu
  • Justice Minister Alexei Barbăneagră
  • Minister of National Security General Tudor Botnaru
  • Interior Minister General Ion Costaș

In the course of his government, Security Minister General Botnaru was replaced by Anatol Plugaru on August 29, 1991. On February 5, 1992 Interior Minister Costaş was replaced by General Constantin Antoci and instead took over the newly created office of Minister of National Defense. In addition, Muravschi appointed two new ministers to his government on February 24, 1992: Minister of Trade and Material Resources Tudor Nicolae Slănină and Minister of Youth, Sports and Tourism, Petru Aurel Sandulachi.

During this time the Transnistrian conflict broke out in March 1992 . The conflict with the Moldovan government soared that the situation finally escalated and degenerated into open civil war. The war lasted from March 1, 1992 to July 25, 1992 and could be ended with the mediation of Russia and its 14th Army stationed there under General Alexander Lebed . Ultimately, this conflict led to Muravschi resigning after a little over a year in office, and on July 1, 1992, Andrei Sangheli succeeded him as Prime Minister.

Time after the replacement as Prime Minister

In 1993 he founded the Christian Democratic National Agricultural Party (Partidul Naţional Ţărănesc Crestin şi Democrat) and was its chairman until the dissolution of the party in 2002. In 1998 he was a candidate of the under the chairmanship of the late President of Parliament Dumitru Diacov standing electoral alliance for democracy and prosperity (Blocului Pentru o Moldovă Democratică și Prosperă) elected Member of Parliament. He then became chairman of the budget and finance committee in the newly constituted parliament and held this office until the 2001 parliamentary election.

On July 31, 1999, he was awarded the "Gloria Muncii" medal for his services to the Republic of Moldova.

In 2002, his Christian Democratic National Party joined forces with the Partidul Renașterii și Concilierii din Moldova (PCRM) and the Uniunea Social-Liberală “Forța Moldovei” (USLFM) to form the Liberal Party ( Partidul Liberal ) to form a counter-bloc to the strong Communist Party Partidul Comuniștilor din to form Republica Moldova under Vladimir Voronin . In the new board of the Partidul Liberal, headed by the former President of Moldova Mircea Ion Snegur as honorary president and Veaceslav Untilă as president, he became vice-president alongside Mihai Severovan and Anatol Țăranu.
