There is nothing "Stalinist" about Pridnestrovie.

Yep, I agree, Pridnestrovie was a Stalin country a many years back. Now it's more westernised than most central european states. The sound track with the video is hilarious. Pity the video doesn't show the street carnival that takes place after the parade. That's the real Transnistria with bar-b-ques, dancing, fireworks, and cultural events
