The Provisional Russian Administration in Bulgaria ((ロシア語:Временное русское управление в Болгарии), (ブルガリア語:Временно руско управление в България)) was an interim government established for Bulgarian territories liberated by the Imperial Russian Army during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. This administration was established in the beginning of the war in April 1877. The Treaty of Berlin (1878) provided for the termination of the Temporary Russian Governance activity since the establishment of the Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia, in connection with which it was abolished in May 1879. The main objectives of the Temporary Russian administration was to establish peaceful life and preparation for a revival of the Bulgarian state. == The organization and activities == The Temporary Russian Governance initially was headed by Russian emperor's commissioner prince Vladimir Cherkassky, as chief of the "First office of civil governance of liberated Trans-Danubian lands." After his death in March 1878 this post had been held by prince Alexander Dondukov-Korsakov.〔 From 20 May to 10 October 1878, the Commissioner's residence located in Plovdiv, and then was moved to Sofia. The guidance of the Civil Administration presided by the chancellery of Russian emperor's commissioner jointly with established in 1878 the Board of government over areas. Besides Russian officers and officials, many Bulgarians were included there, among of which were Dragan Tsankov, Petko Karavelov, Stefan Stambolov, Dimitar Grekov, Dimitar Petkov, Todor Ikonomov, Konstantin Stoilov.〔 The Russian administration tried to prepare as many staff as possible to create a state mechanism for future Bulgarian states. So, initially seven provinces were headed by Russians and only one - by Bulgarian, but in six provinces the vice-governors were Bulgarians. At the local level Russians created a government system: in the districts (uezds) there were formed elective administrative councils and judicial committees, in the villages - councils of elders. There were drafted the Constitution project. The administration made preparations for the elections to the Constituent Assembly.〔(Болгария от освобождения до середины XX столетия )〕 In the spring and summer of 1878 Bulgarian militia (opalchentsi) was transformed into regular military units and formed the Bulgarian Territorial Troops.〔Попов, В., Иванова, Ц., Велкова, Й. ''Българската земска войска 1878–1879 г.'', София, 1959, Държавно Военно Издателство, с. 60〕〔(Bulgarian Army/Official site of Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Bulgaria )〕 Many young Bulgarians were sent to the Russian military schools, and the most capable ones - also in military academies. After a short time in Bulgaria, the Russians established a local military school. To speed up the formation and training of a new army, the administration had decided to detach Russian officers and instructors from the lower ranks from the Danubian army to the Bulgarian units. Also, the Russian army encouraged the military training of the rural population in Russian units and Bulgarian voluntary detachments (which were called druzhinas) by all ranks. Such measures formed a mobilization reserve for the Bulgarian army. The Russian army had also delivered a significant amount of equipment and supplies to the Bulgarians. Russia actively contributed to the establishment of the Navy in Bulgaria.〔(Создание болгарской национальной армии )〕 To train officers, capable young Bulgarians were detached both in Russian military schools and in the newly created Military school in Sofia.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Provisional Russian Administration in Bulgaria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
