Russian (1917-1918) and Armenian (1922) Orthographic Reforms. Assessing the Russian Influence on Modern Armenian Language

Irina Marchesini · 2017

Catalogue summary

The essay traces how Russia's 1917–1918 spelling changes prompted Armenian reforms beginning in 1922, later modified in 1940, without imposing Cyrillic or Latin script.

Why this matters

Treating orthography as a continuing Soviet legacy clarifies why modern Armenian language policy remains contested despite its distinct path from other republics.
