Minimarket in Bender

This "minimarket", a neighborhood grocery store, is located in Bender, the second largest city of Pridnestrovie. Like hundreds of similar stores all over the country this privately owned business sells mostly European and American products ... including, of course, Coca Cola.
Since the country became independent in 1990, Coca Cola - the symbol of freedom - has been the bestselling beverage in Pridnestrovie.
