NOSTALGIA
Support A1+!Armenian Communist Party leader Ruben Tovmassyan said Monday in an interview with our correspondent Armenia had been flourishing throughout seven decades of Soviet regime.
In his opinion, these 70 years are the best times in Armenia’s 5,000-year-long history.
He pointed out that free medical treatment were available to Soviet-era ordinary people. They had savings could afford to travel. There was no unemployment in the republic.
Tovmassyan said it is hard to list all Armenia’s achievements of Soviet epoch, though mentioned some of them saying industrial products were being exported from Armenia to 155 countries, people were being provided with free apartments and free education while now price for 1 cubic meter rose to 1,000 USD.
Communist Tovmassyan thinks the Soviet Union has been collapsed because of treason in pinnacle of the state leadership. He said, Gorbachev, Yakovlev and Shevardnadze betrayed the superpower.
Disastrous consequences of the country collapse are seen now: everything built then is being destroyed.
Everybody has already come to sad realization of what had been lost.
“Look what is going on in Ukraine or Abkhazia. No such kind of issues could emerge in Soviet years”, he said.
Armenian communists marked the 84 anniversary of instituting socialist regime in Armenia on Sunday by laying wreaths at the monuments of the socialist revolution activists Stepan Shahumyan and Alexander Myasnikyan and holding a meeting.
