Tiraspol has about 130,000 inhabitants, is the third-biggest city of Moldova and at the same time capital of Transnistria. "Tyras" (Τύρας) comes from the Old Greek, representing the riginal name of the Nistru river, this being also a Greek colony dated, most probably, with the year 600 AD. "Pol" has also a Greek origin, "polis" meaning fortress, one being located at the mouth of the river with the same name). Directly in the entrance to the town the empire of the president Igor Smirnov begins. His family has the control in the schismatic republic in all interests. Today numerous gas stations, supermarkets, television broadcasting stations, newspapers and other facilities which were pursued earlier by the state are under his control. Everywhere the group logo, a five-pointed sheriff's star is resplendent. Therefore Smirnov also belong the gigantic Sportcomplex Sheriff and the club FC Sheriff Tiraspol, founded in 1997. It is no miracle that in 2002 the biggest and most modern sports complex of the country with a football stadium and an athletics stadium as well as an Indoor arena could be initiated.
