Bila Krynytsia, Chernivtsi Oblast

Bila Krynytsia (Ukrainian: Біла Криниця; Russian: Белая Криница, romanized: Belaya Krinitsa; Romanian: Fântâna Albă) is a village in Ukraine, administered by the village Staryi Vovchynets in the Kamianka rural hromada of the Chernivtsi Raion in the Chernivtsi Oblast.

It is located 45 km from the district center, near the border crossin with Romania Bila Krynytsia–Climăuți.

The name of the village comes from the whitish color of the water in some local wells caused by the presence of chalk rocks in the soil.

On 28 November 1918, the village of Bila Krynytsia became part of Kingdom of Romania (Rădăuți County).

Afterwards, due to the Soviet occupation of Northern Bukovina, it moved to Brăila for two reasons: fear of persecution by the Soviet authorities and the fact that it was the only Lipovan village in Northern Bukovina.
