Impact of the high taxes imposed upon the population of Romanian principalities during the Russian-Turkish war of 1806-1812

In this paper, based on published an unpublished archival sources, we aim to discuss the extremely high taxes imposed by the administration of the Russian Empire upon the population of the Romanian principalities during the Russian-Turkish war of 1806-1812, and a false reflection of this question that persisted in the historiography for a long time. The need to restore the historical truth is an extremely important argument in favor of studying this problem. So we can conclude that during the Russian-Turkish war of 1806-1812 the Russian administration has imposed additional taxes upon the population of Romanian principalities, and this fact had dire consequences for the population. The Russian-Turkish war not only dealt a severe blow to the economic development of the Principality of Moldova, but also negatively influenced the quality of life, worsening the economic situation in the land.
