JOHN KIRAKOSIAN’S WORK "ALEXEI JIVILEGOV AND HIS HISTORICAL-PUBLICIST
INHERITANCE" REPUBLISHED

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.
