Notes
- ↑ In a number of sources, the year of birth is 1888. According to the marriage certificate issued by the Chisinau rabbinate on August 15, 1907 (see JewishGen.org ), J.V. Oxner was born in Falesti in 1884 .
- ↑ The pseudonym is probably taken from the musical parody Jacques Noir and Henri Zaverni, or the missing document (staged in the satirical-parody theater of A. Kugel , 1909) by Nikolai Urvantsev (1876-1941) to the music of Vladimir Ehrenberg .
