In the aftermath of a singularly tragic period in the history of the Armenian people, on January 30, 1922 Armenia adopted the Soviet Constitution and, subsequently, emerged as one of the republics of the Union. Unquestionably, the creation of Soviet Armenia provided its people with a significant measure of political and social stability, making it feasible to concentrate on artistic and scientific concerns hitherto impossible. Notwithstanding the Marxist-Leninist ideology of social realism, which prevents artists in the Soviet Union from musical experimentation limiting their potential for expression within relatively well-defined parameters, the arts in Armenia enjoy continued advancement in the fields of performance and composition, as well as music research.
