Abstract
The author highlights how Soviet Armenian historiographers assessed the policy shifts of the Soviet Union from Military Communism to the New Economic Policy during the first decade of the Bolshevik Revolution. This policy shift extended to every Soviet republic within the Soviet Union and to Soviet Armenia as well.
The leaders of the Bolshevik Party and the Soviet state (Lenin, Trotski, Stalin and others) adopted the policy of military communism as a way to guarantee the transition from capitalism to socialism and communism. But the policy ruined the economy of the country and triggered popular uprisings as it was conducted through expropriations. The leaders had no choice but to take a step back and promote a new policy which could give the population a reasonable space for economic breath and personal initiative. This New Economic Plan brought life to the failing economy of the Soviet Union. However, after a few years, the Soviet leaders shifted once more to socialist policies of collectivisation.
The case in Soviet Armenia was worse than that in other parts of the Soviet Union as Armenia had lost the war against the Turks and had undergone the brutal oppression and massacres of the invading Turkish armies.
After outlining the diverse interpretations of the socio-economic policies implemented in Soviet Armenia, the author critically assesses these various approaches and argues that they were all underpinned by Marxist ideology.
The author notes, however, that current Armenian historiography has overcome this phase and contemporary Armenian historiographers show no constraints whatsoever in evaluating the socio-economic shifts of Soviet Armenia during the 1920s.
