Exploring the Other Side of TRANSNISTRIA! Is This SAFE?! | Back to the USSR?!

[@markmd9]

Moldova has it's own brand name for Cognac and it is called Divin, in English it would be Divine. It's a beautiful name that also has the word of vine in it.

Dabble and Travel, The fortress and the town are called Tighina and not Bender. It was one of the border fortresses of medieval Moldova. Although it belonged to Moldova, it was taken over by the Turks in the early 18th century, following the Russo-Turkish wars. It was then named Bender and was fortified by the Turks according to architectural plans from Western Europe. In order to forget the fact that the fortress belonged to Moldova, the Russians took the Turkish name of the fortress - Bender. Today, the Tighina fortress was renovated by the Republic of Moldova with the financial support of the EU.

[@АлександрСайчук-й5д]

The fortress was restored by Pridnestrovie with financial support primarily from Germany.

[@maynov]

Why are you lying? The city is called Bendery,and the fortress was restored by the authorities of Pridnestrovie.

Was waiting for this video. Breakaway states have their own charm for travellers.

Totally agreed!

Actually the fortress is called Tighina/Tighinacio and was built by romanians!

[@gabrielbuiculescu1617]

Russians like the name Bender in opposite contradiction with the name Tighina because it’a romanian. Nothing new here and the fortress probably built in 12th century by genoese later remodelled by ottomans served as a great post for Moldavian Principality up until got on a wrong hands of USSR and ultimately on this self proclaimed state or whatever they claim to be. Thank you for showing the fortress!

Thanks for commenting!

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

I was amazed how clean and organized things look ,despite the soviet relics of the past. The wine cellar. A real hidden gem . The fortress should be a tourist attraction . Thank you for bringing to light these finds. LOL Harriet and Jim . Richmond, Va.

Very well made video! I visited Transnistria in 2017 but realize that there's more to see so maybe I'll go back this year. BTW, have you visited the Ararat distillery in Yerevan?

Yet another interesting adventure. Was there a special check when you passed from Tiraspol to Bender because it's on the other side of the river and so technically within Moldova? I read something about that the other day.

[@vposviatenko]

Bender is controlled by the so-called Pridnestrovian Moldavian Rebublic and Russian "peacekeepers", even though it is on the other side of the river. The town and area around it is the only place on the right bank of the river controlled by the unrecognised republic. So there are no checks when you cross the river. The check happens right before entering Bender.

[@dabbleandtravel]

Thanks for watching! Nope, no checks for us and there was no border, there was a lot of police but there was actually no checks for us :)

[@jay1970]

Are there any entry restrictions due to covid? Moldova and transnistira.

[@dabbleandtravel]

Vaccinated or pcr test, but always best to check online first

Back in 2000s, Kvint was the best "cognac" here in Moldova. But now, its quality dropped considerably. There are a lot better than Kvint in Moldova these days. I'm talking about the most popular ones (like 3 or 5 years aging).

there is no translation of the Russian words of the name Kvint !!! it is a lie that always from transnistria even in this word is the Romanian word "vin" - "wine" and it is a lie that it is the oldest !! in moldova they are older !! even Purcari - Purcari Winery!! there and there are the oldest wines + milestii mici where is the largest collection of wines in the world! Transnistria does not exist !! is Moldova !!

[@ghos7bear]

Its not "Na zdorovie", but "Za zdorovie". You say "Na zdorovie" as "you're welcome" when somebody thanks you. Saying "Na zdorovie" during a drink implies you think alcohol is healthy for you which makes no sense, while "Za zdorovie" means you're *wishing* for good health and to stay healthy, a toast for great health.
