Provisional problems of the Russian army on lands of the Central and Eastern Belarus during the 1792-1793 years
Abstract
Article contains a description of the poorly studied period in the history of Belarus, namely, the period of the Targowica confederation (1792-1793). This association of gentry (szlachta) was created with help of the Russian army to strengthen the political influence of the Russian Empire on lands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita). The confederates played role of mediators in relations between the local people and military departments of the Russian Empire placed on the territory of the nearby state. In particular, they were responsible for the collection of food and fodder for the “union army” of the Russian Empire. Relationships on this matter between confederates, Russian army and local people were highly conflic-tive. All results of researches have been based on archival sources, most of them are manuscripts.
