The principal reason for the suspension of the activities of the general assembly of the Legislative Commission was probably the official one, the outbreak of war with Turkey. However, it was not so much the preoccupation of the deputies with the Turkish War as that of the Empress herself that caused the curtailment of the commission, for, while Sergeevich accepted the decree of dissolution at its face value, pointing out the large number of deputies who held military rank, Lipinskii observed that fewer deputies actually left the Commission at the beginning of the war than at the transfer of the Commission from Moscow to St Petersburg, and therefore did not consider the closure of the general assembly a military necessity.
