Summary/Abstract: Soroca market town was chartered in 1781 by Constantin Moruzi, hospodar of the Moldavian Principality, to his daughter Sultana married to hetman Scarlat Sturdza. After the conclusion of the Russo-Turkish Peace Treaty of Iasi on 29 December 1791/ 9 January 1792, S. Sturza moves with his family to Russia. Thus logothete Nicolae Ruset- Roznovanu assumes possession of Soroca town and transfers it to his son Grand Vistiernik Iordache Ruset-Rozno- van whose son Nicolai Ruset-Roznovan sells Soroca to brothers Alexandru and Constantin Cerchez. In 1839 Constantin Cerchez sold his half of the town to his colonel Alexandru Cerkez who in 1845 proposed to sell his property to the state. After property assessment had been carried out the Tsar’s State bought the town of Soroca in accordance with the consent of the Emperor Nicolay I on 23 December 1847.
