The article highlights the problem of the abuse of Russian militars against population from Bessarabia. Throughout the period under investigation, at least one infantry division with a population of approximately 20,000 people was deployed. During these years, the population has gone through a series of humiliations, conflicts and oppressions in the Russian military. The local population has never resigned to the situation created, opposed as far as possible to resistance to widespread abuse by the military. During the entire period, 15 cases of civilian protest were officially signaled against the abuses of the military, most of them peaceful. They included the refusal to offer soldiers' food or requests to change the deployment of military detachments to other localities.
