Belarus as it is a bulwark against neoliberalism and privatisation in eastern europe
Belarus is basically the last ember of the Soviet Union that still has any light left in it.
Transnistria maybe?
Not too familiar with what the situation there is like now.
Without doing any research my memory will have to serve, but as a poor breakaway state of a poor former SSR, they seem to have kept all the old soviet institutions and aesthetic, but with a fraction of the funding. I don't think they're doing well but it would be very interesting to see firsthand.
Neat, would be cool if Russia would gave them funding and let them keep doing their thing.
Pridnestrovie broke up from the Moldovan SSR because they wanted to continue being in the USSR. Afaik now it's just a capitalist zone with socialist aesthetics; not like they can do much either way the land is too small really
makes sense, being such a tiny place there's really nothing substantial they can do on their own
Also Transnistria was the name used by the fascists to refer to the area in WW2; they prefer and call themselves Pridnestrovie
that's an important point to keep in mind

Translation: My grandmother agrees with you
Pardon my ignorance but isn't modern Belarus very reactionary?
Culturally yes, economically no
Depends on what you mean?
Against cultural progressivism? Sure
Against U.S and its reactionary regimes (eg. Poland)? Not so much, but more as a balancing force against them

I liked this article a lot, found it rather enlightening.
Part of me thinks Belarus is an example of AES, but I'm not sure if it's "actually" socialist.
