Join Young Pioneer Tours to Transnistria – officially known the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) as we experience Victory Day in true Soviet style. An event traditionally celebrated by the 16 former republics of the Soviet Union over their victory of Nazi Germany during the Great Patriotic War.
With Transnistria often being referred to as the last Soviet Union – Transnistria is one of the four unrecognized countries and frozen conflict zones that litter the regions of the old Soviet Empire. Not only you will experience a Soviet-style military parade of the Armed Forces of Transnistria dressed in full military attire but you’ll get the opportunity to join in local celebrations held on Suvorov Square.
Your journey begins in Chisinau – the largest and capital city of Moldova, however interestingly it’s known for being the least visited country in Europe. Being a former Republic of the Soviet Union (Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic) YPT knows all the hidden communistic wonders that the city has to offers – from abandoned brutalist architecture, Lenin monuments to beautifully persevered Soviet mosaics!
The journey continues into Transnistria – a real step back into time. For a state that doesn’t officially exist we’ll be passing through their passport control, using their official currency and being surrounded by the de facto state patriotism.
Here you’ll experience a Soviet memorial service followed by full fashioned military parade! Considered and being branded as” Europe’s North Korea”, we’ll meet genuine locals that’ll lift our views and judgement of a community/country still left behind of the days if the glorious and secretive Iron Curtain.
We’ll delve deep into Soviet history and visit war-scared towns, nuclear bunkers, Soviet bus stops and mosaics to hidden local bars which haven’t changed – join us on our Ultimate Transnistria Victory Day Tour!
