The Lazarev Institute of Oriental Languages, (Armenian: Լազարևի արևելյան լեզուների ինստիտուտ, romanizedLazarevi arevelyan lezuneri institut) established in 1815, was a school specializing in orientalism, with a particular focus on that of Armenia, and was the principal cultural center of the Armenian diaspora in Moscow, Russia. Many Russian scholars specializing in Transcaucasus related studies received their education at the institute. The former institute, located on Armyansky Lane, is listed as a memorial building and currently houses the Embassy of Armenia (Armenian: Ռուսաստանում Հայաստանի դեսպանություն, romanizedRrusastanum Hayastani despanut’yun) to Russia.
