Andranik Migranyan (Armenian: Անդրանիկ Միհրանյան; Russian: Андраник Мигранян; born 10 February 1949 in Yerevan, Armenia) is an Armenian-born Russian political scientist, who works as a professor at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations.[1][2][3][4]
Academy
[edit]He holds a PhD degree (1978) from the Institute of International Labor Movement, Soviet Academy of Sciences, Moscow. Andranik Migranyan has been a visiting fellow at Harriman Institute, Columbia University; San Diego State University. He is an author of a number of articles, books, hundreds of publications.[citation needed]
Advisor
[edit]During the 1990s he was an advisor to Boris Yeltsin.[5]
From 1993 till 2000 he was a Member of the Presidential Council of the Russian Federation.
In 1994 served as Chief Advisor to the Committee on CIS Problems in the Russian Parliament (Duma).
From 2008[citation needed] to 2015 he was the director of the Institute for Democracy and Cooperation, New York, founded in 2007.[6]
Views
[edit]In 2011, during the Libyan Civil War he said that there was a chance that Muammar Gaddafi will be imprisoned rather than sent out of the country like it happened in Egypt.[7]
In 2014, he argued with Andrey Zubov about the role of Hitler and the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, and in an Izvestia article he stated that there was a difference between Hitler before 1939 and Hitler after 1939, and that Hitler without a single drop of blood has united Germany with Austria, and Sudetenland and Memel to Germany, something what Otto von Bismarck was unable to do.[8][9][10]
Migranyan has frequently commented on politics in Armenia. In 2013, he said that he admires Raffi Hovannisian, but disagreed that he would make a good politician.[11] He is also a vocal critic of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. During the 2018 Armenian Revolution, he strongly condemned Pashinyan and his supporters as "dirt" (охлосом, чернью, и мразью).[12]
