A four minute sample of Les Déplacements Internes.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the countries that have gained their independence question their new identities. Transnistria, an enclaved zone, between Moldova and the Ukraine, is an unrecognized de facto state situated in the Republic of Moldova. Between Transnistria and Moldova, four languages are spoken daily: Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian and “ Moldavian.” This political entity with its own cultural attributes is not recognized by any country of the international community including Russia where its troops are still deployed. Transnistria has become a region of internal displacement. The United Nations uses this term to refer to people who live in situations of internal displacement as a result of conflicts or natural disasters.
