Transnistria, a breakaway state internationally recognised as part ofMoldova, has a state emblem, adopted officially on 18 July 2000 alongside thestate flag.[1] It constitutes a remodeled version of theformer Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic's emblem, which was replaced by the internationally recognizedMoldovan government after thedissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The only major pictorial change made in the Transnistrian version involves the addition of waves, representing the RiverDniester. However, the inscriptions on the banner were changed: unlike the Moldavian SSR emblem, which bore the acronym РССМ (for "Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic") and the USSR state slogan "Workers of the world, unite!" in the "Moldavian" (Romanian inMoldovan Cyrillic) andRussian languages, the Transnistrian emblem bears the name PRIDNESTROVIAN MOLDAVIAN REPUBLIC in the Russian, Romanian andUkrainian languages.
Despite the emblem's depiction of thehammer and sickle,Transnistria is not asocialist state. The current president of Transnistria,Vadim Krasnoselsky, who identifies himself as amonarchist, has stated that he considers the Soviet symbolism in the emblems of his country to be "irrelevant".[2]

The law which formally established theAdministrative-Territorial Units of the Left Bank of the Dniester contains provisions for the region to adopt its own symbols.[3] The region has not currently adopted a distinctive emblem therefore thecoat of arms of Moldova are used for official purposes.[4]
