Russia unites different nationalities with unique traditions and customs. Many of these peoples live on the territory of our country.
Moldovans in Russia
Moldovans have formed their diasporas here and founded their own autonomies.
Despite the fact that they live outside their homeland, Moldovans were able to recreate the romantic atmosphere of their life in Russia. Back in the USSR, these people were considered Russian Italians: a beautiful melodious language and wine. Soviet director Emil Loteanu (Moldovan by birth) was able to convey this aesthetic in his film about Gypsies, “The Camp goes to heaven.” Although many people make mistakes and confuse Moldovans with Gypsies.
Moreover, Moldovans have a special relationship with wine. In their homeland, it is considered a soft drink and is sold at any time of the day. Those who moved to Russia could not say goodbye to this addiction, so you can always find wine at home with Moldovans and enjoy it.
Since 1996, there has been a National and cultural Autonomy of Moldovans in the Russian Federation, which can be joined by anyone who considers themselves Moldovans.
“We are talking specifically about Moldovan citizens who work and study in Russia, about those who have created their families here in Russia and there are more than a million of them.
For more than 10 years, the Charity Foundation for Children “Mercy-My Joy Group” has been talking about Moldovan culture in Moscow, shows a master class on cooking Moldovan cuisine, talks about customs and traditions, about the Martsishor holiday, holds festive concerts and a master class on making martsishors. We are for the friendship of peoples. Unity is the strength of Russia.
