Abstract
It was in 1934-1935, after serving his connections with the Armenian Revolutionary Federation which he had served in the capacity of a member of its Central Committee, that the renowned Armenian prose-writer and novelist Vazgen Shoushanian did finally decide to leave Paris and settle permanently in Soviet Armenia which he had left on its early days of sovietization. To this effect, he sent two consecutive applications to Sahak Ter-Gabrielian, the Prime Minister of the time, to get permission to return home.
The author of the article deals with the problem of applications, founding his work on some hitherto unpublished material from Shoushanian's papers kept in the archives of the Museum of Literature and Arts of Yerevan, Republic of Armenia. He also makes some use of the posthumously published diaries of the late great Armenian writer and intellectual. Thus constituting the circumstances, which led Shoushanian to the conclusion to immigrate to Soviet Armenia, where, he knew well, he would not find “the gardens of paradise”, write his applications and forward them to their destination, though now it is almost impossible to know whether he received, positive or negative.
