Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 3:49 pm The images are of a new 1 ruble Transnistrian Note and accompanying folder, released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the withdrawal from Afghanistan by Russian forces. The memorial inside the folder and in the small badge on the right of the obverse, is the "Memorial of Glory", located at Suvorov Square, Tiraspol, in Transnistria. Transnistria, ( sometimes written "Trans-Dniester" and other ways ), claims to be an independent state but is largely unaccepted by most countries, with Russia as its "Uncle". The UN considers it to be part of Moldova. Obverse: Reverse: Front of Folder: Edited by Anaximander 03/11/2019 3:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It seems to me an odd occasion to commemorate. Russia's war in Afghanistan has sometimes been described as "Russia's Vietnam". If there is anyone out there who could translate the text into English it would be greatly appreciated, and might help to understand the thinking behind the note's issue.
