All you want to know about Dazdie

Dazdie was the tax paid by Roma state serfs in Bessarabia to the Russian Empire after the region was incorporated in 1812.

Roma state serfs were organized in 3 categories:

  • First class: owing annual taxes of 40 lei;
  • Second class: owing annual taxes of 20 lei;
  • Third class: consisting of the elderly, widows and orphans and owing no taxes.

Privately-owned Roma serfs were not obliged to pay the tax.

The Roma serfs often emigrated to avoid state and private exploitation.
