Event Shusha pogrom (1905) 3 cites - Academic literature on the 1905 Shusha violence sits across three principal frames (Świętochowski / Imperial-structural; de Waal / Karabakh-arc; Altstadt / Azerbaijani-national-defence; Bournoutian / Armenian-archival), each working against a different primary-source base and arriving at a distinct interpretive frame.
- Bournoutian, writing from the Armenian-academic position, emphasises the pre-1905 demographic continuity of the Armenian community of Karabakh and the operational responsibility of state-aligned Muslim irregulars in the destruction of Armenian quarters; uses Russian-archival primary sources rather than ARF-press secondary material.
- Contested in the academic literature: the precise casualty breakdown (Imperial figure 200/100, ARF press 300-400 Armenian, Azerbaijani higher Muslim); attribution of first-shots responsibility at the Asar bazaar; whether the Russian garrison's late intervention reflects structural Imperial failure or active complicity; the ARF fedayeen role in escalation.
