Transdniester – “beyond the river Dniester”

Transdniester is a self-declared independent communist territory located between Moldova and Ukraine. I hadn’t heard of it before I saw Michael Palin’s New Europe. I’d love to visit Transdniester. Tina wrote about her visit on her travel blog and I suggest you read that (or the Wikipedia page) if this place intrigues you as it does me! It looks a bit like the past.
