Welcome to Republic of Moldova
Republic of Moldova is a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States in
Eastern Europe bordered by Romania in the West and by Ukraine at the East. It is an ex
Soviet republic. The capital of Moldova is Chisinau. Population consists of 4 mln. people
of diferent nations: Romanians, Russians, ukranians, turkish and others. The national
currency is the moldavian leu.
Moldova contains some of the best types of soil called cernoziom wich is favorable
for almost all cultures.
Republic of Moldova produces some of the best wines, it has the twenty first place in
the world top of wine quality. The wine industry is most developed industry in our
country. 2/3 of the produced wine is for export in other countries such as Russia, the
remaining 1/3 of the wine is produced on farms and it is for our populations use. It iscalled home wine or vin de casa.
Other industries are not so well developed but we also produce some sort of technology:
refrigerators, washing machines, agricultural equipment and others.
Because of financial crisis and weak economic of our country, Moldova is still
considered one of the poorest countries in the world.
The name "Moldova" is derived from the Moldova River; the valley of this river was a
political center when the Principality of Moldavia was founded in 1359. The origin of thename of the river is not clear. There is an account (a legend) of princeDragonaming the
river after hunting an aurochs: after the chase, his exhausted hound Molda drowned in the
river. According to Dimitrie Cantemir and Grigore Ureche, the dog's name was given to
the river and extended to the Principality.
The Constitution of 1994 states that the national language of the Republic of Moldova
is Moldovan, and its writing is based on the Latin alphabet. The 1991Declaration of
Independence names the official language Romanian. The 1989 State Language Law
speaks of a Moldovan-Romanian linguistic identity.
Moldovan cuisine is similar to neighboring Romania's, and has been influenced by
elements ofRussian, Turkish, and Ukrainian cuisine. Main dishes
includebeef, pork, potatoes, cabbage, and a variety ofcereals. Popular alcoholic
beverages are divin (Moldovan brandy) and local wines.

Chisinau
Chisinau is the capital of Republic of Moldova. It is situated on river Bic , built on
seven hills. Our city is also called The green city because we plant a lot of trees ,
flowers in the streets every year.
The national monument is the statue of Stefan cel Mare situated in the center. Every
day a lot of people are coming to see it. Other interesting places in our city are The
National Museum of History for those who prefer cultural resting, also we have the
Gradina Botanica reservation, the Dendrarium park for those who like to stroll and to
look at the sun set.
Chisinau also has some commercial centers such as MallDova and Megapolis mall. It is
a perfect place to spend the time. There we have the possibility to watch a movie at
cinema, to play at the billiards, bowling, ping pong.
We respect our traditions in special national cuisine but we also are glade to eat
something from different cuisines. The Andys pizza is a perfect place to try the Italian
cuisine.
The origin of the city's name is unclear. In one version, the name comes from
the archaic Romanian word chila (meaning "spring", "source of water")
and nou("new"), because it was built around a small spring, located at the corner of
Pushkin and Albioara streets.
Founded in 1436 as a monastery village, the city was part of the Principality of
Moldavia, which, starting with the 16th century fell under the suzerainty of the Ottoman
Empire. At the beginning of the 19th century it was a small town of 7,000 inhabitants. In
1812, in the aftermath of the Russo-Turkish War (18061812), the eastern part of
Moldavia was ceded to Russian Empire and Chiinu became the capital of the newly
annexed gubernia ofBessarabia. Its population had grown to 92,000 by 1862 and to
125,787 by 1900.
We hope that foreign people will like our city. Welcome to Chisinau
