Summary/Abstract: Since the first years after the annexation of Bessarabia, the Russian administration has established the administrative system according to its own model, “solving” the problem of including the elements of the functional social system in the Principality of Moldova to those of the Russian Empire system by recognizing the personal non-patrimonial rights of the representatives of the native privileged categories. The classification of the privileged Moldovan categories from Bessarabia, as superior social elements of the Romanian hierarchy, which include all the boyar estates(social categories), was removed, from the beginning, from the equation of classification, being dissolved in the first half of the 19th century. In this sense, the inclusion of the boyars from Bessarabia in the Russian social estates system and the administrative system occurred through the recognition of personal non-patrimonial rights stipulated in the Regulation on the recognition of the quality of dvorean in accordance with the Moldovan ranks and privileges. Thereafter, with the application of this normative act in Bessarabia, the nobility was liquidated as a social category.
