Vasily Lvovich Velichko (Template:Lang-ru; 14 July 1860, Pryluky, Poltava Governorate, Ukraine, then Russian Empire, – 13 January 1904 in Saint Petersburg) was a Russian poet, playwright and publicist, one of the leaders of Russian Assembly,[1][2] and editor of the semi-official Kavkaz gazette.
Known as a Russian chauvinist,[3] he demonstrated blatant intolerance to the Armenians[4][5] and tried to set them on other populations in the Caucasus. He was active during the period when the imperial Russian authorities carried out a purposeful anti-Armenian policy.
According to the Russian historian V. Shnirelman, "it is curious that his works were re-published in Azerbaijan in the early 1990s and received wide popularity there".[6] Velichko's "forgotten racist tract" was reissued by Ziya Bunyadov's academy.[7]
