Russian House
other
The Russian House (Русский дом) in Chișinău, Moldova, ceased operations on July 4, 2025, following the non-renewal of its agreement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Moldova. It was previously managed by Rossotrudnichestvo and served as a cultural center promoting Russian language, education, and humanitarian projects in Moldova. The closure was criticized by the Russian embassy as unjustified and seen as undermining legal foundations for bilateral cooperation.
