Overview of Transnistria

Between Moldova and Ukraine, this long, narrow territory declared independence in 1990 but is recognized by no one. Its "status" remains quite unclear, including its relationship with Moldova. Transnistria feels like a step back into the USSR era, particularly in terms of architecture (Tiraspol), with a few medieval remnants scattered here and there (Bendery).
