Biography

Angel Nour was born in a family of Moldavian small-local nobles.[2] He participated in the Russo-Turkish War (1806–1812), representing the Russian Empire, rising through the ranks to eventually become captain.[3]

In 1817, for the first time, the elections to the Chișinău City Duma were held. At meetings of the Moldavian, Russian, Bulgarian, Greek and Jewish societies, one representative was elected.[4] The first mayor was elected by the Duma - the "Moldavian service captain" Angel Nour.[5][6][7][8]

He was actively engaged in the improvement of Chișinău, which was ceded to Russia in 1812 after the first Russian annexation of Bessarabia.[9][10]
