The order to refuse the admittance of Ypsilantis’ rebels certainly put Sabaneev andInzov, who were noted for their sympathy towards the Balkan Christians, in a difficultposition.(41) When the first reported instance of an attempt by rebels to enter Bessarabiaarose in April, both did their best to persuade Wittgenstein to admit them. Sabaneev wroteof three armed rebels who were requesting refuge. He accepted that Wittgenstein’sinstructions of 26 March OS forbade the acceptance of revolutionaries, but pointed to asupposedly contradictory instruction in the same order by which Balkan refugees were to beaccepted ‘in order to save their lives’.(42) Wittgenstein’s reply was non-committal.
