Fioletovo (Armenian: Ֆիոլետովո) is a village in the Lori Province of Armenia.

Toponymy

The village was known as Nikitino until 1936, when it was renamed Fioletovo in honour of the

Russian Communist activist and one of the 26 Baku Commissars Ivan Fioletov.[2]

History

In the 1840s the village was settled by Spiritual Christians relocated from Russia.

In the present-day, the village is inhabited by three congregations of Dukh-i-zhizniki and one congregation of

Molokane
.

The population of the village is diminishing year by year as the emigration is growing among its residents, who are trying to look for better economical conditions, either in Armenia or abroad.

Climate

The village has an extremely cold winter with a cool and mild summer. It lies under a thick layer of snow during the long winter season, where only the roofs of houses could be seen from the top with their smoking chimneys.
