The publication aims to restore to historical memory the feat of the Russian volunteers of 1876 who took part in the struggle for the national freedom of the Slavs of the Balkan Peninsula. The most important historical factor that determined the goals and values of the Russo-Turkish War of Liberation of 1877-1878 was the large-scale Slavic movement in Russia in the mid-1870s, and the participation of Russian volunteers in the Serbian-Turkish War of 1876 became the prologue of the liberation feat of the Russian army during the war with the Ottoman Empire. The volunteer movement covered the whole of Russia, but its regional aspect is still the least studied. The documentary monograph is centered on the notes and memoirs of volunteers who went to war for the freedom of the Slavs from Saratov province.
The published historical sources allow to reconstruct the picture of public sentiment on the eve of the Russo-Turkish war, to present more fully the motives of the participants of the volunteer movement, the ways of forming its organizational centers, its historical significance and the tragedy of the volunteers' fate. The vivid and lively testimonies of the direct participants of historical events, people with different views, belonging to different social strata of society, are diverse in genre form and internal content. The texts of the published sources are provided with historical commentaries. In the introduction and introductory essays of the documentary monograph, the peculiarities of the Slavic volunteer movement of the 1870s in Russia as a whole and directly in Saratov Province are highlighted on the basis of archival and published sources. The publication is intended for historians, students, pupils and all those interested in the history of Russia and the Slavic peoples.
