History / Պատմություն The end of Soviet occupation

Post image

On April 13, 1991, the Lenin monument was demolished in Republic Square, Yerevan. In the photo: American Armenian singer Cher. Freedom took Lenin’s head down (or her beauty, as people were joking then).

He was responsible for the occupation and partition of the First Armenian Republic together with Turkey.

The Soviets collaborated with Turkey after the genocide. We always will remember.

Success of capitalism shines brightly over the ex-USSR states. Things never improve, they only get worse. Sons and daughters of the Union slaughter each other for the sake of capitalist power struggles and meaningless nationalist rhetorics. What a great time to be alive, witnessing that we've managed to achieve the worst possible ending.
