The Dniestr Republic was organized by ethnic Russians opposed to being part of newly independent Moldova, particularly in view of the introduction of 'Moldovian' (ie Romanian) as the national language. The flag of the Dniestr Republic is identical to that of the old Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic - making it the only (?) 'national' flag which still incorporates the hammer a sickle. A version without the hammer and sickle is also reportedly in use.
