Summary/Abstract: On the basis of previously unpublished archival documents, the research follows the directions, volumes, forms and types of charitable activities aimed at the needs of the troops during the military conflict of 1904-1905 by representatives of the Bessarabian nobility. By the end we show that Bessarabian aristocrats actively provided the army and navy with all-round assistance (money and material supplies) during the Russo-Japanese War. Also, the Bessarabian nobility actively participated in the formation of sanitary trains dispatched to the Far East, as well as in the manufacture of dressings for hospitals.
