英文又稱Transnistria，夾在摩爾多瓦和烏克蘭中間，全名為聶斯特河沿岸摩爾達維亞共和國。1990年單方面宣布脫離當時還在蘇聯體系下的摩爾多瓦，不過目前只獲得同樣為未經廣泛承認實體的阿布哈茲、南奧塞提亞以及納卡共和國承認，現在國際仍普遍認為該範圍屬於摩爾多瓦領土。2006年舉行公投，98.07%有效票支持未來加入俄羅斯邦聯，94%有效票民拒絕回歸摩爾多瓦。目前約有2,000人左右的俄羅斯聯邦武裝力量駐紮在境內。

Sitting between Moldova and Ukraine, although it is also known as Transnistria in English, its proper name is Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. It unilaterally declared independence from Moldova in 1990, when Moldova was still part of the Soviet Union. So far, it is only recognized by counterpart entities with limited official recognition themselves, including Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Internationally, it is still considered part of the Moldovain territory. In a 2006 referendum, 98.07% of the population voted in support of joining the Russian Federation in the future, with 94% voting against returning to Moldova. There are currently 2,000 people in the Russian Federation armed forces stationed within its borders.
