The Monument to Simion Murafa, Alexei Mateevici and Andrei Hodorogea () was a monument in Central Chià ÂinÃÂu, Moldova. It existed between 1933 and 1940.
The monument was opened in 1933, in the park of the Nativity Cathedral in Central Chià ÂinÃÂu. The monument was dedicated to Simeon G. Murafa, Alexei Mateevici, and Andrei Hodorogea. All of them died in August 1917.
In the evening of August 20, 1917 some 200 Russian soldiers, with Bolshevist leaders, seized and murdered two of the most conspicuous Moldavian leaders, Andrei Hodorogea and Simeon G. Murafa, in Chià ÂinÃÂu.
On July 17, 1917 Alexei Mateevici wrote the poem Limba noastrÃÂ (), today the national anthem of the Republic of Moldova. A month later, on August 24, 1917, he died of epidemic typhus.
After the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, the monument was destroyed in 1940.
In 1994, Limba noastrÃÂ became the anthem of the Republic of Moldova.
In 2007, the youth organisation of the Liberal Party asked the municipal council of Chisinau to re-erect the monument. In 2013, historian and investigator Iurie Colesnic headed an initiative for the reconstruction of the monument. An exact copy of the monument was created by architect Eugen Bâzgu and folk artist Veaceslav Lozan and place in the same spot where the original monument had stood. On 29 September 2016, it was inaugurated by Vladimir Cantarean, metropolitan and primate of Moldova, in the presence of the secretary for culture Monica Babuc, the president of the constitutional court Alexandru_TÃÂnase and other guests of honour.
