Умер Омельян Прицак

[Kazarin]

Прицак исследовал знаменитое Киевское письмо, подтверждающее, что часть хазар (а это понятие включало в себя конгламерант тюрских племён), исповедовших иудаизм, после гибели Хазарии осели в Киеве.

Remembering Omeljan Pritsak (1919-2006)

Historian and linguist Omeljan Pritsak died May 29, 2006 at age 87.

later years, he helped to develop Ukrainian and Oriental studies at

institutions in Ukraine.
