Abstract

The article draws attention to the fact that in the literature devoted to Armenians in the Tyumen region, there are practically no references to the personalities of representatives of the Armenian ethnic group. Meanwhile, the anthropological turn that has taken place in historical science allows many of the studied issues to be considered from a different angle, to rethink previously obtained conclusions. The author attempts to fill the existing gap, relying on electronic databases, encyclopedias, biographical dictionaries, fiction, sources of personal origin, first of all, the memories of people who worked in the Tyumen region during the creation and development of the oil and gas complex of Western Siberia (1964-1989). The tasks are to analyze the features of the migration of Armenians to the Tyumen region during the period of creation and development of the West Siberian oil and gas complex, as well as the creation of a socio-cultural portrait of migrant Armenians.
