Abstract

The article analyzes materials about Armenian immigrants to the Tyumen region in the XIX — early XXI centuries. The general population censuses are chosen as the source. The opinion is expressed about the reasons for the migration of Armenians to the Tyumen region. It is concluded that the methodology of population accounting in the pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet periods differed significantly. For the first time, data on Armenian immigrants to the Tyumen region were taken into account in the materials of the first General Population Census of 1897, during which the task of studying the national composition of the country was set for the first time. In addition to the number of Armenians, the scribes recorded their gender and religious composition. During the All — Union Population censuses 1926, 1937, 1939, 1959, 1970, 1979 In 1989, not only the dynamics of the number of Armenians in the Tyumen region were taken into account, but also their gender composition, as well as the division into urban and rural populations. In the post-Soviet population censuses of 2002, 2010 and 2020-2021, the number of measured indicators decreased. The specifics of taking into account the national composition during the census of 2020–2021 was that data were taken into account for those who named their nationality themselves. The literature indicates the relative comparability of data from individual censuses. It is concluded that an accurate comparison of information about Armenians according to censuses is not possible due to the serious changes that took place in the administrative-territorial division of the country at different times.
