Academician-literary scholar by birth

By birth, academician-literary scholar Sergey Sarinyan is seventy-five years old, he said that in the spring of 1956, he was thirty years old and with his serious, moderate revolutionary and moderate conservative colleagues, who were of the same excellent age, masterfully undertook the task of reforming our literary and social thought. Those were the years when speech, thing, literature, literary-literary thought were a very important, perhaps the most important component of society, public life, or pretended to be that component, at least it was not just an idle evangelical phrase.
And so it was necessary to endow the country with the full power of full-fledged speech - a mission as essential as to give soul to the body, to save life through blood transfusion, the failure of which revealed the exact telephoto of the collapse of the country and the destruction of all of us, and the success of which put all of our country, our world of speech in a life-giving relationship with our own world and foreign cultures of yesterday.
And if the country still collapsed - it collapsed not through the fault of Sergey Sarinyan and his generation, or at least through their fault. Under his and their serious gaze, honored by the honor of the country and their time, the socio-political, literary-literary thought of the country revealed our and so steadily true, which keeps us, if not in the first ranks of nations and peoples, but in the same march.
Arrested, forced out of the way, defamed, falsified speech takes the nature of vengeful murder. diverted from the path of truth, he goes to get lost in the unknown and leads astray those who mislead him.
Sergey Sarinyan and his work are not among those lost.
