Abstract
<jats:p>During the establishment of Soviet rule in Armenia, state policy was oriented toward the implementation of a one-party system of governance across all spheres of public life–an institutional model previously tested in Soviet Russia. Within this framework, the Armenian Revolutionary Committee renounced the implementation of the provisions of the Yerevan Agreement of December 2, 1920. In pursuit of disseminating communist ideology and promoting ideological and cultural propaganda among the broader segments of the population, the authorities of Soviet Armenia undertook a series of measures aimed at consolidating political control within the republic. As part of this agenda, major cultural and educational institutions–including theaters, cinemas, museums, libraries, bookstores, printing houses, and even musical instruments–were subjected to nationalization. Simultaneously, the publishing sector underwent centralization, and initiatives were developed to establish a unified system of political education. The coordination and execution of these processes were entrusted to the People's Commissariat of Enlightenment, which played a pivotal role in formulating and implementing the new cultural policy of Soviet Armenia.</jats:p>
