1770 1771 1772 1773 1774 The battle of Comana Monastery was a phase of the 1768–1774 Russo-Turkish War and took place on 12–14 December 1769 during the Transnistria, Moldavia and Wallachia campaigns of the Russian Empire.

In the battle of Galați, the detachment of Lieutenant Colonel Fyodor Fabritzian distinguished itself, with its commander being the first to be awarded the order of St. George, 3rd degree.

While he was preparing to march towards this fortress, the Turks launched an invasion to recapture Wallachia from two fronts in early December.

Stofeln canceled his march to Brailov and sent to meet the Turks the detachments of Lieutenant Colonel N. A. Karazin, Major Anrep and Major-General Alexander Zamiatin; Zamiatian set out from Iași.

At dawn on 14 December, in a long gorge near Comana, his detachment was surrounded by a 2,800-strong Ottoman force and repelled their attacks for six hours.
