Abstract:
The Armenian massacres in 1894-1895 and the national liberation movements of the Armenian people caused concern within the Russian government. The Armenian question posed difficulties for further Russian-Turkish rapprochement in foreign policy. The Russian government turned its back on the Armenian, considering the Armenian question to be the Sultan's internal affair. Russian progressive intellectuals sharply criticized the attacks on Western Armenians for political purposes and the latter's expressions, which misled the Russian society. Armenian intellectual, historian and public figure Grigor Janshyan published the collection "Brotherly Aid to the Armenian Victims in Turkey" with the financial help and active participation of pro-Armenian Russian intellectuals V. Golstrem, A. N. Sazanov, A. N. Greny, Nikolsky and others, the entire income of which was donated to refugees, as a material and moral assistance, fleeing the massacres and crossing the Russian border, in particular to thousands of orphaned children.
