“They came with joy: the revolution, the new man, the proletariat marching towards communism with a hardened tongue and a hammered body. Iron muscle was their seed. The sun was their food. And the thought was the action. They came to the working districts of Yerevan with the tram established in 1933 and connecting the factories. And now, when you flip through the 30s of literature page by page, the entry of the tram into Yerevan is like a messiah, a religiously crazed ease, honestly, a commitment as flat as romanticism, a way to plan life, everyday life, to organize a person’s work and the meaning of living, a sectarian of salvation and the future symbol. And everyone sings his song, glorifies his birth, claps his voice, testifies to his dream.”
