Founded in 1930 in Tiraspol, Tiraspol State University is a Moldovan public university with a distinctive honest history: after the 1992 Transnistria conflict, the Moldovan-administered Tiraspol State University RELOCATED TO CHIȘINĂU and has operated there ever since — physically separated from the city whose name it still bears, which lies in the de facto unrecognised Transnistria territory. It continues to educate Moldovan students in the sciences and education. Its existence is a living document of the unresolved Transnistria situation. ⚠️ Added by curator (collector omission; included for completeness and honest context).
