Hier Spricht Radio PMR.

[Greg Collins]

I found this book through a large on-line book dealer that I thought anyone with an interest in the PMR might want to hear about. The name of the book is, "Hier Spricht Radio PMR, Nachrichten Aus Transnistrien" or, "This is Radio PMR, News From Transnistria". It is written in German, English and Russian and is, essentially, a photo-documentary (somewhat similar to the Life series of days past) done by two German authors (Kramar and Marcell Nimfuhr) with a PMR national (Andrey Smolensky) and was published in 2007.

No particular reference to awards or badges, although there are several photos of GPW and civil war veterans wearing their awards. It deals primarily with the question, "What is Pridnestrovie?", her economy, her politics and perhaps some insight on where she may be headed. Nice to know a bit about the country and the people whose awards you are collecting.

As there is pitifully little information (at least in one place) about the PMR, I am glad to have this. I'm providing an image of the cover (sorry about the glare of the on-camera flash).
