Armenia Undiscovered
Հայերեն English
A Miniature Russia in the North of Armenia
It feels eerie. A two-hour ride takes you from Yerevan to a completely different world, with smiley blond kids playing amongst sycamore trees and Russian-style houses. Surely you are still in Armenia, amidst a mountain landscape typical for the Armenian North. And yet if you just look at the people and the houses, it feels like a Russian village.
The village is called Fioletovo and the people living there are called Molokans. They are ethnic Russians, resettled in the Caucasus in the early 19th century.
