Vasili Lvovich Velichko
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vasili Lvovich Velichko (Russian: Васи́лий Льво́вич Вели́чко, 1860 — December 31, 1903 Saint-Petersburg) — was a Russian writer, journalist, editor of semi-official armenophobist[1] "Kavkaz" newspaper (Tbilisi).
Known as a Russian chauvinist[2], he demonstrated blatant untolerancy to the Armenians[3][4] and tried to set on them other population of Caucasus. He was active during the period when the Russian authorities carried out a purposeful anti-Armenian policy.
According to the Russian historian V. Shnirelman, "it is curious, that his works were re-published in Azerbaijan in the beginning of 1990's and received there wide popularity".[5] Velichko's "forgotten racist tract" was reissued by Ziya Bunyadov's academy[6].
