| "Man nehme die Ästhetik sowjetischer Propagandabände, peppe sie durch
westlichen Pop noch etwas auf, und schon hat man einen neuen, noch viel
schöneren Propaganda-Band." |
| Süddeutsche Zeitung, Juni 2008 |
| |
"... neben den mehr als 150 fast durchweg großartigen Fotos: Den Autoren ist es gelungen, sich den Menschen in der abtrünnigen Möchtegern-Republik zu nähern..."

| Der Tagesspiegel, 5.11.2007 |

»Hier spricht Radio PMR!«: Ein Fotoband möchte das wirkliche Leben in der
international nicht anerkannten Pridnestrowischen Moldawischen Republik vermitteln.
Was ist real in einem Land, das nicht existiert?

"Entstanden ist ein kunstvolles Buch mit guter Fotografie, mit vielen Selbstaussagen von
Bewohnern der PMR" |

Die moldauische Nachrichtenagentur Presa meldet am 2. Oktober 2007:
Die Anführer des separatistischen Regimes aus Tirasopol haben, durch unterschiedliche Methoden, die Veröffentlichung eines Propagandabuches in Österreich unterstützt. Es geht dabei um ein Buch das Fotografien beinhaltet, von denen einige in der englischsprachigen Publikation der Sezessionisten, Tiraspol Times, veröffentlicht wurden.
Das Buch heisst "Hier Spricht Radio PMR". Die sogenannten Journalisten aus Österreich weinen vor lauter Mitleid um die Separatisten, die ihre Pässe nicht benutzen dürfen, da niemand das illegale, von Igor Smirnov geführte, Regime anerkannt hat.
(Sollte uns jemand unterstützen wollen, geben wir gerne unsere Bankverbindung bekannt. Bisher ist nichts angekommen. Der Verlag) |

| "The authors have gone behind the scenes to talk to the local population and the hopes that they have that they will one day have their own internationally recognized state. It also shows the attempts of the Pridnestrovians to create such a state of their own." |
| Tiraspol Times, 1. 10. 2007 |
| |
"..the book is not an official publication and does not present Pridnestrovie in an entirely favorable light." |
| Tiraspol Times, 1. 10. 2007 |

This is Radio PMR
/// News from transnistria - A propaganda book
Hardly anyone from the West knows about Transnistria (also called Pridnestrovia or PMR). It is not internationally recognized, has no noticeable voice, and the little media coverage there is draws only a one-dimensional picture. The EU would like to have the problem off the stove.
The authors Kramar and Marcell Nimführ have been exploring the country to the left of the river Dnjestr for the past six years. They were able to get to know the country and its people on their travels and have recorded many reports and portraits. Moreover, they were lucky to meet Andrey Smolensky, an interpreter, radio presenter and university lecturer. He brought them to places no western eye had ever seen before and acquainted them with people who otherwise would not have been that friendly to any other journalist.
Transnistria belongs to the Republic of Moldova (the Moldovians say), Transnistria is autonomous (the Transnistrians say), Transnistria should not exist (says the western world). Although Kramar und Marcell Nimführ are westerners they really do have an intimate knowledge of the PMR. The authors do not defend any regime and do not support possible criminal actions of any regime. There is no one truth – and this book does not claim any such truth. Rather, it shows how the Pridnestrovians (Transnistrians) see their country.
„This is Radio PMR“ is a photography book, a travelogue, a book on propaganda and counter-propaganda and above all it is a magnificent photographic portrait put forward by the Vienese Journalists. A differentiated picture of the „small Soviet Union“ is drawn in numerous interviews and transliterated radio reports.
