Aksel Bakunts

Aksel Bakunts (1899-1937), whose civil name was Alexander Tevosian, was born in Goris, in Zangezur. He served in the Armenian volunteer army in 1917 and 1918 and fought at Sardarabad, studied in Tiflis and then agronomy in Kharkov, and returned to work as an agronomist in his district. He also gave two screenplays to the country's nascent cinema. Arrested in 1936 and accused of nationalism, he was shot in July 1937 after a twenty-five-minute trial, and part of his seized papers has never reappeared.
