President of Transnistria

Okay kiddo, so you know how some countries have leaders called presidents? Well, Transnistria is a tiny place that says it is a country, but not everyone in the world agrees with that. They have a leader too, and his name is Vadim Krasnoselsky. He was chosen by the people who live in Transnistria to be their leader. His job is to make decisions for the people and try to make their lives better. But since not everyone recognizes Transnistria as a country, some people don't think that Vadim Krasnoselsky is a real president. It's kind of like having a pretend game where you're the boss, but not everyone wants to play along.
