Hello Пятхъдесят Шест, and all other observers of the Shortwave Radio thread.
Until recdently, I was largely unaware of the semi-official nation of
Pridnestrovie ( Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublica, also known as Transnistria, Trans-Dniester and Transdniestria), de jure a part of Moldova but de facto an independent (albeit unrecognised) state.
I have become a regular listener to the broadcasts of their radio station Radio PMR.
I've become quite fascinated by this country. Their newspaper, ,
The Tiraspol Times, has a decent website. Always plenty of political coverage (some might prefer 'propaganda', but, you know), and an article is there about one of the nation's favourite sons, the excellent artist Mikhail Larionov:
see here. Their national anthemn is pretty good too:
