Russian Presence in Transnistria
Subject
Moldova, Part 5
Description
The Dniester Moldavian Republic is a small strip of land in between Moldova and Ukraine. Dniesterians have been trying to separate from Moldova since 1989, either by forming their own state or by joining Russia. They are not recognized by other countries as an independent state, and neither does Russia support their effort to join them. It is in Russia's best strategical efforts for the Dniester region (otherwise known as Transnisteria) to remain a part of Moldova because this way they can influence Moldova and Romania. Russia has had a brigade of "peace keeping troops" stationed in the Dniester region since 1989. This letter is written to the Joint Control Command (the name of the peace keepers) congratulating them on their 25 anniversary of keeping the peace between the Dniester Region and the rest of Moldova. The letter was written July 29, 2010.
