Sergei Nersesovich Krikoryan (1925-2015) was an engineer-economist and the son of a White Army officer who emigrated from Russia at the end of the Civil War. Since the early 1960s, he lived in Switzerland and was a member of the Russian Circle at the University of Geneva. He actively followed the literary process and never missed an opportunity to meet writers who had left their homeland or visited from the Soviet Union. A bibliophile, he assembled an extensive library.
