Editing Hutterites (section)

=== Wallachia ===
In 1767 the Hutterites fled from Transylvania first to Kräbach, that is [[Ciorogârla]] in [[Wallachia]], which was at that time some {{convert|7|km}} from [[Bucharest]]. When the Hutterites left Transylvania, their number was down to 67 people.<ref>John A. Hostetler: ''Hutterite Society'', Baltimore 1974, p. 78.</ref>

In Wallachia they encountered much hardship because of [[lawlessness]] and the [[Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774)|war between Russia and Turkey]] (1768–1774). The Russians took Bucharest on November 17, 1769. The Hutterites then sought the advice of Russian army commander "Sämetin" (Генерал-майор Александр Гаврилович Замятин, General-Mayor Aleksandr Gavrilovitch Zamyatin) in Bucharest, who proposed that they emigrate to Russia where Count [[Pyotr Rumyantsev]] would provide them with land all they need for a new beginning.
