KNOWLEDGE OF Chisinau
Chişinău is the capital city and industrial and commercial centre of Moldova. It is also largest city of Moldova. Chişinău is considered one of the greenest cities in Europe. It is located in the center of the country, on the river Bîc. Economically, the city is by far the most prosperous in Moldova and is one of the main industrial centres and transportation hubs of the region. As the most important city in Moldova, Chişinău has a broad range of educational facilities. The city is considered to be the second largest Romanian urban concentration in the world after Bucharest.
The city is located on the river Bîc, a tributary of the Nistru (Dniestr), at 47°0′N 28°55′E, and is divided into five administrative districts. Chişinău has an area of 120 km2 and its whole municipality has 635 km2.
Chişinău has a continental climate, characterised by hot dry summers and cold windy winters. Winter temperatures are often below 0°C, even though they rarely drop below -10°C. In summer, the average temperature is approximately 25°C, despite the fact that temperatures sometimes reach 35-40°C in mid-summer in the city centre. Although average precipitation and humidity during summer is low, there are infrequent yet heavy storms. During spring and autumn, temperatures vary between 18-22°C, and precipitation during this time tends to be higher than in summer, with more frequent yet milder periods of rain.
Founded in 1436 as a monastery town, the city was part of the Moldavian Principality, 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 village of 7,000 inhabitants. In 1812 it was occupied by Russia, who made it the centre of Bessarabia. Its population had grown to 92,000 by 1862 and to 125,787 by 1900.
The town played an important part in the war between Russia and Turkey (1877–78), as the chief centre of the Russian invasion.
In the late 19th century, especially due to growing anti-semitic sentiment in Russia and Poland and better economic conditions, many Jews chose to settle in Chişinău, so in the year 1900 43% of the population of Chişinău was Jewish.
Chişinău was the site of two major pogroms April 6–7, 1903, and October 19–20, 1905 which were among the reasons for the large emigration of Eastern European Jews to Western Europe and the United States in the years immediately following. (See Kishinev pogrom)
Romania held the city from 1918 to 1940, when it was seized by the USSR.
Chişinău is the most economically-developed and industrialised city in Moldova. Chişinău is a major industrial and services centre; its main industries include consumer and electrical goods, building materials, machinery, plastics, rubber, and textiles. The main service fields are banking and shopping/commerce. Chişinău's economy is mainly centred on industry and services, with services particularly growing in importance in the last ten years.
