Abstract

The Crimean War (1853?1856) was one of the terrible Russian ordeals in the 19th century. The lack of sufficient armed forces obliged the Emperor Nicholas I to promulgate a special manifesto “On Convening State Voluntary Military Forces” in 1855. Bessarabian’s nobility played an important role in forming state voluntary military forces during the Crimean War. It provided a substantial financial support to the Russian army.
