The never ending story continues.
Here, another 1 ruble overprint commemorative is released celebrating the end of the last war, World War II. Nazi Germany was defeated in Mid-April in Eastern Europe and the war did not end until the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany on 08.05.1945.
This is the 29th commemorative note issued by Transnistria since 2009. Like previous issues, the designs are the same but with the commemorative logo added to the watermark area of the banknote.

- The format and design of this note is similar to the 2012 series. A portrait of the Russian General Alexander Vassilyevich Suvorov
(b.1730-1800) in military uniform. General Suvorav was a Russian born military hero holding the rank of Field Marshal Generalissimo. He was born in Moscow and joined the army at the age of 17 and was promoted to the rank of colonel when he was 32 years old. By 1787, he was then promoted to the rank of General. During his lifetime, he was involved in at least 57 battles/wars with the majority of these conflicts ending in victory in his favour. He died at the age of 70 years old and was buried in the city of St Petersburg. He was the fourth Generalissimo of Russia.

Below are the scans of the simple card folder on the front and also inside the description for this issue. I have also translated this from Russian to English with the help of Google Translate.
On the front cover, it depicts a very well known picture of two Russian soldiers raising a Soviet Union flag over the Reichstag (Parliament) in Berlin. This picture was taken by Tevgeny Ananyevich Khaldei (b.1917-1997) during the final stage of the war in Europe. The picture was taken on 02.05.1945 during the Battle of Berlin.
