It should not be confused with the Metropolis of Bessarabia, an autonomous part of the Romanian Orthodox Church with jurisdiction in Moldova, Ukraine, and parts of Russia. The Russian Orthodox Church and the Moldovan Orthodox Church consider the Metropolis of Bessarabia an uncanonical entity. Moldova has a total population of 3,388,000, 76.1% of whom identify themselves as Moldovans (national census of 2004).
