| Summary / Abstract (Note) | IN FEBRUARY 1828, Emperor Nicholas I (1825-1855) signed the draft law Institution for Administering the Bessarabian Region that discontinued the experiment with the autonomy for the Pruth-Dniester interfluve. The "rights and freedoms" that Alexander I (1801-1825), his predecessor on the Russian throne, had granted to the local elite were replaced with the status of a province within the newly formed Novorossiyan-Bessarabian Governorship General, a new administrative unit in the South of Russia. |
