Extract

Since the Twentieth Congress of the Communist Party in Moscow, and especially in 1957, there has been growing evidence of unrest in the ranks of Soviet Armenian writers. Not to be outdone by their Russian colleagues, Armenian poets and novelists have produced a body of new work which has evoked from party whips in the Union of Armenian Soviet Writers a number of excoriating speeches and articles as revealing of ferment as similar manifestations to the north.
