YEREVAN, JUNE 11, NOYAN TAPAN. The addition variant of
historian John Kirakosian's work "Alexei Jivilegov and his
historical-publicist inheritance" has been published. In the
words of the author's son, RA Deputy Prime Minister Arman
Kirakosian, with this work Alexei Jivilegov is presented as an
exclusive connoisseur of the Middle Ages and the modern period,
as well as a person who studied the Armenian-Russian relations
at the beginning of the previous century.
In his words, the first work on historian Al. Jivilegov was
published in 1986, a year after the death of the author. But
many publicist articles of Al. Jivilegov that concerned the
Russian policy towards Armenia in the years of the World War I
were not included in it. Those articles were included in the
republished version, due to which, in A. Kirakosian's words,
this work has obtained Armenological significance.
"In those articles Al. Jivilegov criticized the Russian
policy in the years of the World War I. It is obvious that those
articles could not be included in the book in the Soviet period.
The most remarkable is the historian's article on "Decree on
Turkish Armenia", in which Al. Jivilegov called that document
unreal and unrealizable," mentioned A. Kirakosian.
