Summary/Abstract: In 1821, the Romanian Principalities were involved in the liberation movement of the Greeks from Ottoman rule, a crucial role in supporting it by the Romanians having different agents of influence, who convinced them that Russia will give military support for the revolution. Later, contrary to plans and promises, tsar Alexander I officially condemned it, gesture that placed Moldova in a situation of serious conflict with both the Greek revolutionaries as well as the Sublime Porte, bringing it to ruin for 16 months.
