Biography

Petru Buburuz was born to Dumitru and Anastasia, on 26 September 1937 in Durleşti. In 1989 election, Buburuz campaigned under the motto "The People's Will--God's Will" and was elected as a member of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union.[2]

Buburuz's victory made him probably the only clergyman thus far known to have been elected to the Congress of People's Deputies of the Soviet Union as an unofficial candidate affiliated with informal national movements. He was also a contributor to Glasul (for which he has been admonished by the Chişinău metropolitanate).[3] On 27 August 1989, Buburuz blessed the Grand National Assembly in Chişinău.
