In this riveting episode, Drew Binsky delves into the enigmatic realm of Transnistria, a country that exists in a state of perpetual limbo, unrecognized by the world yet fiercely independent. With its own government, currency, and military, Transnistria is a place frozen in time, reminiscent of a bygone era. As Drew and his companions navigate the treacherous journey from Moldova to Transnistria, they encounter strict military checkpoints and unearth a network of caves steeped in World War II history.
Amidst the remnants of a brutal conflict between Moldova and Transnistria, Drew's exploration leads him to a friend's house adorned with a chilling collection of weapons, including a formidable machine gun from the days of World War II. The team's odyssey continues as they stumble upon monuments and a Soviet theater frozen in time, offering a glimpse into a world untouched by the passage of time.

From giant Lenin heads to a Russian Orthodox Church, Transnistria is a land of stark contrasts, where peace reigns despite the tumultuous history that shrouds its existence. Through his journey, Drew dispels Western misconceptions, revealing a tranquil and harmonious society that defies the stereotypes perpetuated by mainstream media.
