Yulia Antonyan, Associate Professor of the Chair of Culturology, the Faculty of History, YSU, Candidate of Historical Sciences, compiler and professional editor of the collection, referring to the uniqueness of the collection, emphasized, "Researches with new methodologies and approaches related to the Soviet years have been conducted in Armenia only recently, while in many post-Soviet countries this topic has been researched for 32 years following the collapse of the USSR. Hence, the authors of these scientific articles are pioneers in Soviet research conducted in Armenia, which further emphasizes the importance of the collection."
