This Country Does Not Exist! | Transnistria

🚩Look at a map of Europe and you won't see this thin sliver of a country but it's there and so I went to explore. Get ready to visit the country that does not exist...Welcome to Transnistria or as locals call it Pridnestrovie.

I mean can certainly draw maybe some slight at least comparisons to some within the more rural places they've been in, like with the understanding of the limiting maybe somewhat, but in reality where I moved back to literally where I was born yeah it's not like we're cut off from other places can possibly get to for work so it's always going to be a very limited comparison. It's yeah to put it in a much deeper way of just explaining yeah, it's what makes it so interesting, not least in seeing older former things, like find the old Soviet stuff really fascinating, doing some real just out of my own curiosity of how things were back then the good and the bad actually. One thing I find really interesting think was someone at least who said during the 1960s though wasn't until around 30 years later they admitted they'd failed at Communism, gets on my nerves when someone says going full communist, since not one states ever fully done that, implemented everything as it is in the manifesto by Marx and Angles, for a start the Soviet Union always had a hierarchy to society in fully gone Communism there simply is nothing of the sort in that.

    Let me tell you something. I am from Croatia, was born in 1982., and still remember the old Yugoslavian times. This very much reminds me of it. People here, although it seems that they are trapped somewhere in the past, are far happier than anyone today in the west. This lovely old lady, when asked "how life is here" answers with "it's ok, we live; we have food and we have clothes". Beyond doubt, according to the western "standards" she lives in poverty, but she is happy. She doesn't need a bloody iPhone, a 50 inch tv, a fancy car, or any other debt inducing crap; she has learned to live with what she has. I would never say socialism or bolshevism are good solutions (remember Lenin, Stalin and millions of murdered, tortured, imprisoned, and lives destroyed in various ways in the name of "the Revolution"), and history has proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt, my only point is that the west creates the other extreme. People have everything in the material sense, and they can't have enough and only long for more...

    Well you can be a socialist with ideals of a non authorian goverment, just as you have "liberal" countries with fascist policies. I think social democracy has so far been the best middle ground and you can't have that without a fair amount of socialist ideals. The most capitalist countries have after all done just as much harm to citizens of the world as even communism. So I would never say socialism is proven as a bad solution, considering the most well working nations are way more socialst then say the US (especially), or the UK for that matter. That's my opinion at least.

But I don't think they'll handle the rust, if not properly maintained with regular maintenance most rides won't work after just two years after shut down, let alone 30 to 40 years like those rickety rust buckets... can't believe they still work!

    I visited Transnistria (or Pridnestrovia) in early autumn 2018 for a day visit on my own with the local mini bus departing from the Chisinau bus station, and after crossing the border you get a 24h visa, yeah, you read well, 24h LOL on a piece of paper. 2 other tourists and a teacher from Tiraspol were amongst the passengers, and after arriving in the city center the teacher took us to his school which was really impressing to visit for it's old soviet paintings and stain glasses and made us a tour of the little archeological museum at the upper floor. If you have the chance to go to Tiraspol try to find and buy those unique local coins (actually money) made of plastic that were actually made for the blinds, aswell the bills which are not recognized outside Transnistria. I did buy them at the fort outside the city center where you could buy those few touristic stuff. I did go and eat to a nice restaurant and visited the park where old soviet relics were as statues, tank, the park outside the city center etc .... Lucky me it was a nice sunny day and I do recommend to go there early morning to have the time to visit the main things, a full day is enough as it's small and not so much to visit.
