About Tour

How about celebrating 9th of May – the Victory Day with military parade in a non-existing soviet country? Strange, isn’t it? Strange but possible… Transnistria is one of the former Soviet Union's original "frozen conflicts", and a template for later Russian-backed disputes including Eastern Ukraine. It has remained unrecognized by any states other than Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh and South Ossetia after its 1992 war of independence from Moldova. Using Soviet rituals for its legitimacy rather than its governing ideology, the territory is ruled by a nationalized mafia and guaranteed by the Russian military. Each year on 9 May Transnistrians stage an elaborate Victory Day celebration in the capital Tiraspol to remember the victims of WWII, known as the Great Patriotic War. So let’s go and see how they celebrate, meet locals and talk to them, visit their capital Tiraspol, understand their religion - Russian orthodox, see their country, history and see for yourself how they live and what they have to offer.

Este viaje ha superado mis expectativas debido principalmente a su atenta orientación y calidez.

Gracias por compartir su conocimiento y pasión por su maravilloso país y por tratarnos como familia.

Hola Victoria, ¡Muchas gracias de nuevo por los tours de la semana pasada! Me divertí mucho y eres una excelente guía. Orheiul Vechi fue realmente hermoso, y algunas de las fotos salieron muy bien. También me gustó mucho Chateau Vartely, así que gracias por tener la idea de visitar allí.

Tiraspol fue bastante interesante y extraño, y me alegro de haber ido, incluso con el frío y la lluvia. La destilería Kvint fue muy buena. Tuve que resistirme a terminar toda la botella. Espero poder visitar Moldavia nuevamente en algún momento dentro de poco. También te lo haré saber cuando venga a Rumania.
