The territory between the Prut and the Dniester was under Russian occupation for centuries, affecting the Romanian religious identity. The Metropolia of Bessarabia, part of the Romanian Patriarchate, upholds the local ecclesiastical tradition, but faces attacks from Moscow, which imposes its jurisdiction by force. The recent case of Grinăuți illustrates the tensions between the communities that choose to return to the Metropolitanate of Bessarabia and the violent reactions of Moscow's supporters. In this context, freedom of religion and the right of choice become essential for the national identity of Moldovans.
