As a form of reflection of the public consciousness
Lilit L. Manaseryan
Scenography can be viewed as an expression of a model of the world, in which
the worldview of the artist and the society is unconsciously displayed. This is carried
out both at the level of compositional, spatial constructions, color combinations, and
the ratio of the scales of the actor and the material environment. From a similar point of
view, scenography could be likened to a test drawing in psychologists, which reflects
the worldview of the society, its psychological state

The biophilosophy of Hovhannes Tumanyan has never become a separate
research topic. The theme was partially discussed in the voluminous monographs
and articles representing his fiction heritage, but it was not fully and
comprehensively studied. Undoubtably, researchers referred to Tumanyan’s ideas,
thoughts, and philosophical hypotheses, but his worldview and fiction heritage
were never classified and considered in the context of European philosophy.
Analysis under a new light
Miranush E. Kesoyan
Figurative-expressive means in linguistics have been examined for the most
part as stylistic tricks to make speech influential, impressive, and enriching.
However, they perform another remarkable function too, that is, to serve
expressing the implied meaning, enabling to convey information indirectly, or
sometimes masking it, depending on various circumstances. This article is an
attempt to examine the figurative and expressive means from that point of view.
In comparison with the Greek original
Sargis R. Avetyan
It is argued that attempts to characterize the semantic relationship between
the two forms of the Subjunctive (the present subjunctive and the aorist
subjunctive) in Classical Armenian as either a mood contrast or an aspect-mood
contrast are not backed up by the relevant synchronic as well as diachronic
linguistic data of Old Armenian.

The oral folk tradition, according to Raffi, not only preserved the mentality
and the mindset of the Armenian people, but also its folkways and epic legends,
which were transmitted only orally and were not written down. Thus, according
to him, a comparative analysis and study of oral folklore could provide a limitless
source of material to a given archaeologist, historian, culturologist and
ethnographer.
(From Hovhannes Sarkavag to Mkrtich Naghash)
Ala A. Kharatyan
The article examines the motif of the rose and the nightingale in the poetics of
Mkrtich Naghash, as well as the transformation that the motif of the bird underwent
in the medieval Armenian literature up to Mkrtich Naghash.
On the occasion of 100th anniversary of the formation of the USSR
Ararat M. Hakobyan
Armenian historians and jurists in different periods gave different
assessments of the state-legal status of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic
(ASSR) from 1920 to1922. Historians and jurists of the Soviet period, guided by
the Soviet communist worldview, class ideology and methodology, in their works,
for obvious reasons, as a rule, denied the existence of the independent statehood of
the First Republic of Armenia. They tried to present as a period of real
“independence” and “freedom” of Armenia and the Armenian people not only the
existence of 1920-1922 Soviet Armenia, but also the entire period when Soviet
Armenia was a part of the Transcaucasian Federation and the USSR.
Unquestionably, by the modern standards of the historical science, these arguments
do not correspond to reality. The assertion of the Soviet authors that allegedly only
with the “November Revolution” of 1920 and the Sovietization of Armenia did the
Armenian people gain true independence does not correspond to reality.

Gevorg S. Khoudinyan
The second general meeting of the ARF, which started on April 5, 1898 and
lasted for about three months, decided to strengthen the propaganda carried out in
favor of the Armenian issue abroad involving in it the best forces of the Armenian
youth studying in European countries.

Peace and security have long been one of the most important standards of
modern life. Among universal values, they are primary. Nevertheless, the number
of deaths due to war worldwide has decreased in recent decades, and war
operations in general have decreased, their intensity not only has not weakened, but
also their involvement has expanded, including even civilians on various platforms.
