Modern Moldavia has always been a place where Moldavian (and Romanian in general) and Russian cultures met, which, of course, could not but be reflected in the local architecture.

Interesting in this regard is the church of St. George in Ocniţa - its construction in neo-Russian style began before the revolution, but for obvious reasons was not finished. The church was completed in the Neo-Moldavian style by Romanian craftsmen, which created a very interesting look - emphasized also during the restoration of the church in our time after the Soviet years, with frescoes in a style closer to Romania and a Neo-Russian iconostasis.
