Григорио́поль (Russian) Григоріо́поль (Ukrainian)

Grigoriopol (, , , ) is a town in the Administrative-Territorial Units of the Left Bank of the Dniester, Moldova. It is the seat of the Grigoriopol District of Transnistria. The city is located on the left (eastern) bank of the river Dniester, in central Transnistria.

Grigoriopol is composed of the city itself and the small village of Krasnoe (Красное). The city had a population of 11,473 in 2004.

In 1996 and in 2002, the town was the centre of a dispute regarding the attempts of local Moldovan inhabitants to use the Romanian language (written with Latin script characters) in the local school, which is against the policy of the government of Transnistria. The Transnistrian press attacked the local authorities "that allowed the fifth column of Moldova in Transnistria to operate". The head of the Parent-Teacher Association of the school, Mihai Speian, was arrested by the Transnistrian authorities on August 28, 2002. He was released on September 12, following a protest by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe mission in Moldova. The school was moved to the village of Doroțcaia, Dubăsari district, which is in the area controlled by the Republic of Moldova.
