| dc.description.abstract | The researcher is dedicated to one of the most enigmatic personalities in Soviet Armenia, philosopher, philologist, and historian Missak Khostikian (born in Van, 1881, died probably in 1938, location unknown). According to official data, after February 6, 1938, when he was arrested, Khostikian's scientific and literary works in Armenia disappeared. His name disappeared from Yerevan State University documents too. Though Khostikian was rehabilitaed in 1956, details of his biograph and several files were kept locked in KGB archives until the late 1980s. Still, the most important documents (the file No 4743) are locked in KGB archives. Fortunately, some of these were filmed for a documentary film featuring his son, the renowned actor Armen Khostikian (2007). The biography in the abridged version of the Armenian Encyclopedia is the only data available for the public about M. Khostikian. Through archival materials and extended research in the Museum of Art and Literature, the author discovered significant information about Khostikian which we put together in this report. This report rectifies some information and clarifies other uncertainties regarding Khostikian's biography. Bakhtiar Hovakimian's Armenian Pseudonyms Dictionary enabled the author to trace back and uncover a number of Khostiokian's philosophical views and his concerns regarding the methodology of educating the young Armenian generation. Among the finds were three lectures dated 1913-14 and three textbooks for studying German in Soviet Armenian schools dated 1935-37. However, the scientific works of Khostikian that covered the first fifteen years of the Soviet period in Armenia (1920-1935) and included translations of medieval texts of Armenian philosophers and his comments have not been recovered and could be truly lost. Khostikian was one of the very first scholars to present a Ph.D. dissertation, entitled "David der Philosoph", on the late-fifth century Armenian philosopher, David the Invincible, which was presented to Marburg University (Germany) and was defended in Bern University (Switzerland) in 1907. Harutunian assesses the extent to which Khostikian's philosophical heritage was evaluated by scholars who wrote about David the Invincible. She believes that through this article she has raised problems of black holes and blind spots regarding a number of scholars who disappeared during the Stalin purges. | |
