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.
