Memorial Of Remembrance And Sorrow In Bender, Transnistria

As I have written in my previous Transnistria post, it is not possible to receive a card from there with local stamps (PMR stands for Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic) but if you know someone who has been there and has prepared mail in the local PO, you are in luck :) It is still an interesting and valuable item for every postcrosser! Thanks so much Trond :))

The card is showing  The Memorial of Remembrence and Sorrow situated in the town of Bendery, commemorating the casualties of WWII.

Noul Neamt Monastery, Transnistria, Moldova

Many thanks to Jaroslav for sending this great card from Tiraspol!

Noul Neamţ Monastery is the biggest religious complex in the breakaway territory of Transnistria (governed as the Pridnestrovian Moldovian Republic). PMR is a state with limited recognition, located between the Dniester River and the eastern Moldovan border to Ukraine, and with Tiraspol as its capital.

Transnistria declared its independance from Moldova in 1990, and in 1993 started printing its own stamps. However, these stamps are not recognised outside the country and are valid only for domestic service within Transnistria. I guess I'd have to travel there, stay for a while and send post to myself! xD
