Hi everyone! Ive recently visited Transnistria and it got me wondering about something - what is the meaning of all the soviet landmarks, signs and restaurants? Obviously the country is not communist and a lot of the economy is controlled by Sheriff so it got me wondering about all that soviet marketing. From one side it really seemed to me like a way to attract tourist / just a tourist attraction. Of course I am guessing it is also to keep up the nostalgia of older people towards the soviet union and maybe to show Russia a way of respect to the soviet past, but now that the natural gas deliveries have stopped that also doesn’t make much sense? Im sorry if it was a stupid question, it’s just been on my mind

I'm looking to exchange a relatively large amount of Russian ruble (cash), 9 million. Due to reasons, the money currently sits undeclared in a vault box in Chisinau. Enter Russia with this amount of paper likely will land me in trouble, used to be able to exchange through Italian banks who would ask minimal questions but due to sanctions EU banks don't take ruble anymore. Is there a chance pridnestrovie banks may still serve a foreigner to exchange this amount? I happily show ID and open an account here if it's needed, no urgency....

Who is traveling to Pridnestrovie next June?

Hope you had your olivier salad with champagne :)

Our trip from Chisinau to the PMR / Tiraspol... was a great experience. And it's easy to do! Maybe you wanna read our travel blog with our experinces and some practical tips for the trip to Tiraspol. : https://entertaimnet.wordpress.com/2025/08/16/where-is-the-pmr-journey-to-transnistria-the-country-that-doesnt-exist/

I have a severe peanut allergy which can be fatal, I am interested in visiting Pridnestrovie one day but I’m always nervous when trying new foods because of my allergy so how safe is it?

Ask in this thread)

Christmas is usually celebrated in January, as per the Orthodox calendar, and not as important as New Year. But there are Catholics as well (and Catholic churches) that celebrate on this day.

I just saw this video and was wondering if it is true:

Is that little currency really going to disappear? If yes .... I have never visited Pridnestrovië and don't think it will happen fast, but would someone be willing to help me get those little bills.

Ofcourse I will pay for them.
