Explore Transnistria on a trip back in times of Soviet Union
This tour offers one to visit a country that is not officially recognized as a country. If you ever wondered how people lived in the old Soviet Union, you can now experience some of that by visiting Transnistria. It is a region that was once part of the Moldova but when the old Soviet Union collapsed, this region did not want to be independent from Russia and after a four month bloody civil war in 1992, a cease fire was negotiated. The situation has still not been resolved but there has been no fighting and the peace has held for a couple of decades, now.
