The name of the outstanding Russian commander Alexander Suvorov is inseparably linked with history of Transnistria. Thanks to brilliant victories of Suvorov army in Russian-Turkish war of 1787-1791 the Dniester region becomes a part of the Russian Empire. It predetermined its further development within a Slavic civilization. Suvorov's value for Transnistria shows that fact that, for two last decades its image is present on bank and postage notes.

In the early nineties, when the republics of the former USSR began to enter own currencies, the huge mass of the Soviet money rushed to Transnistria. Trying to protect the financial system, the PMR government in July, 1993 made the decision to modify the Soviet banknotes by gluing on them special stamp with Suvorov's image and face value designation.

The initiative of the PMR national bank was supported completely by Transnistrian post having changed fiscal stamps by graceful overprints. Having painted over digital face value silver paint, and, having put over it letters of the Russian alphabet, post inhaled new life in memorable vignettes with the image of the great commander.

The first overprint issue of warranty face values took place on June 19, 2002 - a set of 5 values of post tariff "A". For decade in the post were used 13 overprints with Suvorov image and Cyrillic letters were "А", "Г", "Д", "Ж", "З", "И", "К", "Л", "М", "О", "Т", "У", "Ц". Each letter corresponds to the certain post tariff.

When manufacturing overprints in the state printing house of Transnistria quite often there were printing incidents. As that, lack of warranty face value or its essential shift, drawing of inscriptions "Post" and "PMR" on Suvorov's image or over the limits of drawing of issue. And also was drawing the erroneous year of the edition "2000" instead of "2001". Similar mistakes are anything other, as the typographical garbage which is subject to immediate destruction.

However, the considerable part of printing defects regularly gets to the post circulation, is on sale in windows of post offices and from there removes to the most grateful owners - to ubiquitous philatelists - to fans of funny things, mistakes and tests.
The Transnistrian alphabetic overprints printing on the fiscal Suvorov stamps is one of the most interesting definitive issues of the former USSR. It is a fascinating plot for system research not only in the field of military and historical sciences, but also in the sphere of applied linguistics and even philately.
