Summary/Abstract: Migrating to Bessarabia since the beginning of 18th c., the Bulgarian settlers claimed their colonists’ rights, which were recognized in 1819. In 1832 they obtained a special territorial-administrative entity – the Board for the Trans-Danubian settlers (Upravlenie zadunayskikh pereselentsev). After the Crimean War of 1853-1856, when a part of Bessarabia joined Moldova, the Bulgarians of the Russian part joined into a Superiority of Bessarabia Bulgarians (Nastoyatelstvo bessarabskikh bolgar), which existed until 1871, to be deprived of their colonists’ status thereafter. The other part of the migrants, those from the separated Bessarabia, preserved its territorial-administrative entity until the end of the Russian-Turkish War of 1877-1878.
