66 economies [8; 10]. The works of P. R. Magocsi and R. Panossian integrate Ukrainian material into a broader Eastern European and global context [5; 9]. The Economic Contribution of the Armenian Diaspora to Ukrainian Cities. Archival and historiographical data indicate a disproportionately high level of Armenian participation in the economy of Ukrainian cities. According to municipal tax registers of Lviv from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Armenians constituted approximately 8–12% of the city‘s population; however, they accounted for up to 25–30% of long-distance trade operations associated with the Black Sea region, the Caucasus, and the Eastern Mediterranean [5]. Guild documents demonstrate a significant concentration of Armenians in crafts with high value added. In seventeenth-century Lviv, Armenians comprised about 30% of jewelers, 25% of leatherworkers, and up to 20% of arms manufacturers. Scholars interpret this specialization as a factor of technological transfer and economic resilience of urban economies [7]. A special place in historiography is occupied by the role of Armenians in the economy of Black Sea port cities. In Odesa and Feodosia in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Armenian trading houses were involved in grain exports, maritime credit, and the insurance of commercial operations. According to commercial registers, Armenian entrepreneurs ranked among the 10–15 most economically influential merchant families of Odesa, contributing to the city‘s transformation into a key export center of the region [10]. An important conclusion of contemporary historiography is the high degree of economic integration of the Armenian diaspora. More than 60% of trade contracts concluded by Armenian merchants in Lviv and Kamianets-Podilskyi involved partners of non-Armenian origin, indicating the inclusive nature of the diaspora‘s economic activities [5].
