Summary/Abstract: Based on Russian and Romanian unknown archive sources and less known bibliography, the article describes the presence in the Romanian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia of Tsarist lieutenant-general Pavel Dimitrievich Kiseleff, in his capacity as governor and president of the divans in both Romanian Principalities between 1829–1834. The political and military background is analysed, after the Russian-Turkish War (1828–1829) and the conclusion of the Adrianople Treaty (1829), when the Tsarist protectorate became an actual administrative and military occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia. General Kiseleff’s important modernizing contributions are presented, as well as his real interest to impose the tsar’s long-time governance in the Romanian Lands.
