There are some more places in Moldova visited by Pushkin

Scientific Secretary of Pushkin House-Museum in Chisinau Victor Kouchnirenko said that in addition to Chisinau, Dolny, Yurchen, Varzaresti and monastery Căpriana which are included in Pushkin geography of Bessarabia and the current Republic of Moldova, there are some more towns and places of which he was aware of.

It was noted by Kouchnirenko: "In March 1821, during the funeral of Metropolitan Gavriil Benulesku Bodoni Pushkin followed through Negresti, Panasheshty to Capriani to  Capriana monastery.

Also, there is speculation that in June 1821, during the suppression of the Turks and Skulyanskaya battle, the poet visited Skulyany, and, perhaps, Iasi, heading there through Negresti, Calarasi (Tuzoru) Volchinets, Old Redeny and Rezina.

In the summer of 1821 the poet visited Negresti, Vorniceni, Lozovo, Mikleushenah, Volkaneshtah and Bursuk. In August 1822 at the invitation of Dean Russo Pushkin visits his estate passing also Panasheshty, Tatareshty, Pauleshty and Calarasi.

Thus, the geography of Pushkin places in Moldova has grown significantly.
