also, do you count Romania's little towns as "urban"? many look post-apocalyptic, I bet most people would choose to stay in a village than in a random Romanian little town made of concrete ghettoes.
there is no "stark" contrast between rural and urban Romanian if we speak of common people - only that the towns and cities do have a few more wealthy people that look different (clothes) or are more educated. but it's still a minority within the urban dwellers. so your arrogance towards us peasants has no real support in Romania - Romania is a peasant country overall.
