Summary/Abstract: In the given article the author analyzes the export of goods from the Principality of Moldova into the Russian Empire at the end of the 18th century - the beginning of the 19th century.As a result it was found that the main export goods in the trade between the Principality of Moldova and the Russian Empire during 1791-1812 were wine, salt, fresh and dried fruits, nuts, cattle, etc. The export of goods from the Principality of Moldova into the Russian Empire was not free from the influence of political factors.The analysis of unpublished archival sources allowed the author to conclude that export of goods from the Principality of Moldova into the Russian Empire at the end of the 18th century - the beginning of the 19th century had a permanent and traditional character. Therefore, the thesis by some researchers that during the Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812 the Moldavian trade was reoriented from traditional European markets into Russian domestic market is incorrect.
