The article is devoted to an analysis of the roles of the Bulgarian and Greek diasporas in Bessarabia in achievement of the national self-determination projects of Greece and Bulgaria. Based on historical and ethnographic materials, the paper demonstrates the conditions under which ethnocultural groups became the nucleus of national liberation movements in the 19th century. Emphasis is placed on the fact that successful rebellion in Greece in 1821–1832 and the war in Bulgaria in 1876–1877 became possible due to the active position of ethnic diasporas in Odessa and Bessarabia. Their activities proceeded in several directions: emergence of the idea of national revival; financial support for the national struggle by Maecenas from diasporas; and formation of people’s militias that played the role of an advance detachment in national liberation wars.
