Summary/Abstract: Being a historic and a lawyer at the same time, Alexandru Boldur treats the Bessarabian issue in all aspects, including both the administrative and the legal ones. His work denotes a sense of justice towards this land, which the great scientist has always fought for. The themes of his research also include the studying of the bessarabian local law between 1812-1828. This period of time was studied by the historic Alexandru Boldur mostly in the context in which, at that moment, Bessarabia had already become a part of the Czar’s Empire.In this context, his works offer an ample vision on the evolution of the administrative autonomy of Bessarabia to a Russian provincial one, referring to the normative acts that were then providing the governance of the province between Prut and Dniester in the mentioned period. So, Alexandru Boldur claims that there have been administrative local laws before the annexation of Bessarabia. Also, there are multiple elucidated aspects which denote the intense suppression of the local laws and the administrative customs into those foreign to the natives.It’s stated that the discreditation of the administrative system in Bessarabia has been achieved because of the involvement of the foreign officials. Their effort has strengthened through the process of denationalization. According to the information sources, the governing process of Bessarabia aimed to transform the Prut-Dniester space into a province that lacks entity.The history of the bessarabian local law is for Alexandru Boldur one of his main research directions, based on collections of laws, archive documents, specialty literature, in which, by the way, the opinion of Russian authors is presented as well.The historic Alexandru Boldur, through his works, shows that the Bessarabian administrative system during the tsarist occupation and the fulfillment of the local law had both to suffer, and the consequences of this fact became noticeable in time. In order to approach the proposed subject in the perspective of the researcher Alexandru Boldur, we used the comparative-historical method, the retrospective method, quantitative analysis and synthesis. The obtained results may serve as a way more profound research direction of the administrative model of Bessarabia in the mentioned period, continuously valorizing Alexandru Boldur’s works.
