I was wondering, did anyone hear about the transnistrian rebellion here? They even dared to start up a war 15 years ago. It's called a rebellion territory, however everything is Russian's opera. They set it up all. And people in there leave miserably. They are not even allowed to go romanian school (our native language), they were all closed. Only russian schools activate there. And the worse is, that Moldovian's most powerful weapon and industrial factories are on THAT territory Check wikipedia for more info : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria So what do you think about it? What solution do you propose for this problem?
It's an awful problem, and one I have looked at, by way of comparison, as I am interested in a similar plight among the post-Soviet successor states of the Baltics. You may find this interesting: Abstract Estonia’s development since achieving independence from the Soviet Union has received considerable scholarly attention within the field of post-Soviet republic studies, particularly in the area of ethno-politics. This paper analyzes Estonian state capacity in terms of one rarely used marker – violent crime. If one key measure of state capacity is the state’s ability to impose the rule of law, this paper seeks to test a hypothesis – that the relative level of state capacity within Estonia can be causally linked to the relative strength of autonomous, historically embedded “Estonian†institutions, actors and processes as they vary across Estonia. The paper utilizes sub-national cases selected by geographic and functional attributes. The paper will analyze whether within Estonia, where “Estonian†institutional legacy is weak, and vestiges of Soviet-era “agency†actors and institutions remained strong post-independence, violent crime found fertile ground, and state capacity remained poor.

I also heard of it...also in Moldavia got lot's of problems, it's very high risk to do business there... you can easy get rubbered or have "rackets" asking you for money to "protect you",etc.
Thats a very good price. Transnistria sounds good. I can't afford Spain anymore. Maybe some tourism will help sort out the problems they have going on. Economic activity is always a good thing.
The wines are not made by transnistria. But by moldova, Cricova. Something near the capital city. The wines are very cheap and 100% natural. If anyone comes in Moldova for wines, be sure I'll be here to meet you
