Moldova

Moldova is interesting country with rich soviet architectural inheritance

Chișinău

The first impressions from capital of Moldova are very grey and boring, like the Office of Federal Government

A bit more interesting is the National Museum History.
In front of the entrance is the copy of status of Capitoline Wolf which was donated by Italy then destroyed then again donated but this time from Romania

The comes the most famous or the most photographed structure of Chișinău, The Triumphal Arch
Although among soviet inheritance, nice examples can be seen as well, like the circus

The interior decoration of central bus station

Russian language is very popular in Moldova

The banknotes are also looking very soviet like

The timetable at bus stations are wrapped over the cylinder 

The trolley drivers chill 

Moldovans enjoy their identity

And try to bring some colors to their grayish capital, like the post terminals 

And make jokes about their country name

Chișinău hosts an Armenian street

And several Armenian Churches
