It is recommended to visit the capital of the country Chisinau and the cities of Tiraspol, Balti and Orhei. To visit the Bendery fortress in the city of Bendery, you will need permission from the border guards.
Among the attractions of Moldova, it is worth noting the wine cellars of Small Milesti and Cricova, medieval monasteries and cities (Old Orhei), as well as balneological resorts, for example, Vadul-lui-Voda, Cahul, Calarasi and Kamenka.
And de jure it is part of Moldova. And this is one of the many pages of the people who have been searching for their place in history for centuries.
An ancient long-suffering country
Age of remnants ancient settlements people in this area has a million years. Judging by the primitive way of stone processing, the discoveries of archeology made in 2011-2012 can be attributed to the time of the disappearance of the Olduvai culture (it appeared about 2.7 million years ago, disappeared one million years ago).
In ancient times, these territories passed from hand to hand - either the Tiragety (a tribe that got its name in honor of the snow-white city of Tyre, built on the island of the Dniester), or the Pechenegs lived there. Later, the lands were settled, which, in turn, were pushed back by nomadic Turks. Part of the territories at one time was owned even by the Khan's Ukraine.
Where is Transnistria located on the map? It is located between Moldova and Ukraine. Transnistria, at the cost of the lives of its citizens, won the right to be an independent, but unrecognized republic.
Borders as changeable as the shape of the moon
Pridnestrovie at different times alternately and fragmentarily was integral part more than 10 states and entities. Why did this happen? When answering this question, just remember where Pridnestrovie is located on the map. Not exactly in the center, but also not in the backyards of Europe, which used to be called The formation of the European Union does not change anything - it actively contributes to the fragmentation of large states. If you turn to geographical concept Europe, that is, take into account the territory up to the Urals, then the self-proclaimed republic is located almost in its center.
fertile country
Where is Transnistria located on the map? It stretched out in a long narrow strip from southeast to northwest along the left bank of the Dniester, which flows into the Black Sea. The extreme southern point of the republic is located sixty-seven kilometers from the sea, forty of which falls on the Dniester Estuary. I must say that 80% of the territory of the republic is black soil, in addition, the climate here is very mild, that is, the country has rich agro-climatic resources that allow growing a large number of variety of vegetables and fruits, harvesting twice a year. Despite such grace, industry is also actively developing in the republic.
All this suggests that Pridnestrovie is self-sufficient. Here are the most valuable vineyards. The country just should not be hindered in its development. And this is exactly what is happening, and it all depends entirely on where Pridnestrovie is located on the map, because the borders with neighbors are completely closed, which does not contribute to its rapid development.
Bad luck with neighbors
This republic has no access to the sea. She is in the full sense of the word sandwiched between enemies. The Kiev authorities have never been friends of this country, they in every possible way prevented its ties with Russia. The people won the right to choose the future in the bloody conflict that began after the adoption of the act of independence by Transnistria and Gagauzia.
Not yet printed political map, where Transnistria is colored Russian Federation, but already in 2006 a referendum was held in the republic, in which 97.2% of the population voted for joining this great country. And in 2013, in the first reading, the Supreme Council approved the primacy of Russian legislation on the territory of the republic. Pridnestrovie has its own attributes of power - a coat of arms, an anthem, a flag. It has its own currency and a professional army, and all this does not apply to Moldova, whose elite sleeps and sees itself as part of Romania.
History teaches nothing
Interestingly, in all the recurring stories, the peoples of Donbass and the Lugansk Republic, South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transnistria do not want to see and hear anything about their neighbors, they constantly offer to disperse amicably, like the Czech Republic with Slovakia. Countries in which the self-proclaimed republics were previously included by political intrigues, obsessed with narcissism, cannot imagine how one can not want to hear nothing about them. Folk wisdom like “You won’t be forced to be nice” is not for them. But the hour is not far off when the map of Moldova and Transnistria will not be a region, but the border between these republics will be state.
Why doesn't history teach us anything? Why do slogans that are obviously failed, that have already proven themselves from the worst side, creep from one hot spot to another? Is it really incomprehensible that these cheap stencils only unite thousands of thousands of people, turning them from an amorphous mass into a single victorious nation? And that no prohibitions can ever make you forget your language?
