History of Tragedy
A few of you asked to see the final images from my vacation in Moldova. Actually, a day trip to Transnistria, a renegade province since 1992. Expect documentary shots as I was told to leave my real camera in Chisinau and only take photos with my mobile phone.
This is a monument you pass by when approaching Tiraspol that gradually got extended with each new tragedy. First, WW II which in this part of the world was the battle between Hitler's avid ally Romania and the Soviet Union. In front of it is a memorial for several thousand Moldovans killed in the immediate aftermath of Chernobyl when they were called to seal the reactor. The steles in the middle are for the fallen of the Afghanistan war. Finally, there is a huge table for the "independence war" of Transnistria when splitting from Moldova from 1990-1992.
