Transnistria

Transnistria is a de facto sovereign state in the narrow strip of land between the river Dniester and the territory of Ukraine that is internationally recognized as part of Moldova. It was originally formed by the Soviet Union in 1924, and then for geopolitical ends the USSR artificially attached this land to Moldova SSR. Today it is still attached to the Republic of Moldova, however Russia has a strong influence and is using its status as a frozen conflict zone to maintain geopolitical leverage over that area.

      • How did Transnistria emerge, and what is its history? Most people have never heard of Transnistria, and it is a curious corner of Europe that's outside normal legal structures. It claims to be a country, but the only other "countries" which recognize its existence are other breakaway regions that no other countries recognize as legitimate countries. Legally Transnistria is considered part of the Republic of Moldova, and its existence is the result of a "war" in 1991. Did Transnistria always exist as part of Moldova? No, that like many things about Transnistria is a fiction created by the old Soviet Union.
