Soviet Dining
After a morning exploring Transnistria, we find this restaurant in the middle of town. The owner has collected lots of Russian and Soviet artefacts and turned the restaurant into a museum, but here you can touch as well look at the exhibits. The food is also traditional fayre and between us we had a good selection to sample!
The Dnister River marks the border between Moldova and the breakaway state of Transnistria. However, Transnistria means "other side of the Dnister [river]", but since to the residents they're on 'this' side they call the region Pridnistrovie, meaning "Before the Dnister [river]". This part of Moldova want independence and separation from Moldova, to keep their Russian identity, but they don't want to part of Russia or have any links to The Kremlin. There has border control to enter the region but everything is so friendly, despite us being so close to the Ukrainian border.
