Transnistria - celebrazione del Giorno della Vittoria 2021

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.

Il viaggio è stato davvero organizzato al meglio. Strutture, veicolo, autista e soprattutto la guida Cristina molto brava! La Moldavia è molto piacevole, specialmente i monasteri. Siamo tornati addirittura da un viaggio gastronomico un po'alticci. I vini e la cucina sono proprio buoni!

Grazie ancora!

Cara Natalia, vogliamo ringraziarti sinceramente per la tua guida esperta e abile durante il nostro viaggio in Moldavia. La nostra esperienza in Dumbraveni - come ti abbiamo detto - sarà sempre indimenticabile per noi. Hai un modo meraviglioso di interagire con le persone, cosa che ti portera lontano.

Cristina,

Grazie per aver offerto una vacanza meravigliosa. Le tue conoscenze del tuo paese e delle lingue è incredibile. Mi è piaciuto ogni minuto! I migliori auguri a te e alla tua famiglia, Bob.
