SummaryTransnistria, also known as the Pridnestrovskaya Moldavskaya Respublika (PMR), is a republic unrecognized by any government in the world. Lying on a narrow swath of land along the left bank of the Dniester River, the territory’s leaders call it a republic. Transnistria has been declaring itself independent since 1990, and is an example of a post-Soviet breakaway republic much like Georgia’s Abkhazia and South Ossetia. To begin to examine why Transnistria wants to break away from Moldova, one must thoroughly examine its history alongside Moldova’s, its cultural and ethnic differences, and its current political and economic situation. Only after the facts have been given and both sides opinions heard can a solution be found.
