Abstract
The article is devoted to the activities of the Soviet historian and local historian Georgy Konstantinovich Martirosyan (1895–1938), known as Martirosian. Most of his short but very fruitful scientific life was spent in the city of Vladikavkaz, renamed Ordzhonikidze in 1931. Until 1926, he worked at the North Caucasus Institute of Local Lore, the Vladikavkaz State Scientific Museum, pedagogical and agricultural institutes, and in subsequent years, until his arrest in 1935, at the Ingush Research Institute of Local Lore as deputy director and researcher at the Ingush Museum of Local Lore. The article mainly examines Martirosyan's scientific and local history activities as deputy director and researcher at the Ingush Scientific Research Institute of Local History and the Ingush Museum of Local History in the 1920s and the first half of the 1930s. His scientific, social and pedagogical activities are so extensive that they need special research. The article pays special attention to the reasons for the arrest of the local historian on false charges.
