Ormianie Mohylowa Podolskiego pod koniec XVIII i w połowie XIX wieku (na podstawie pomiarów statystycznych ludności)
Armenians in Mohylów Podolski (Mohyliv-Podilskyi) at the end of the 18th century and in the middle of the 19th century (on the basis of the statistical measurement of the people)

Summary/Abstract: The author presents the analysis of five statistical sources which document social and demographical character of the Armenian commune in Mohylów Podolski from the end of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century. These sources include: inventory of the town form 1772 and the so-called revisions, conducted on the order of the Russian authorities in 1795, 1811, 1834 and 1850. As a result, it as possible to determine the names of at least 600 Mohylów Armenians from 70 families. Moreover, the thesis was confirmed that Armenians in this town constituted the distinct and privileged social group, which – as Vartan Grigoryan already believed – was declining, primarily because of the unfavourable economic situation after the incorporation of Podole into Russia.
