Transnistria is historical Romanian land now part of the
Republic of Moldova that is occupied by the
Russian authorities of the Pridestrovian Moldavian
Republic. Transnistria is notable for its numerous human rights violations against Romanians and Moldovans in the region, such as systematically closing schools teaching Romanian or beating and jailing people that speaks Romanian in the streets. And still, the authorities of this artificial state claim to be the victims of Moldovan nationalists.
