Soviet Armenian Literature refers to the body of literary works produced by Armenian writers during the Soviet era, particularly from the 1920s to the 1980s. This literature often reflected the themes of national identity, social change, and the complexities of life under Soviet rule. Prominent authors included Hovhannes Shiraz and Vahan Totovents, who explored both personal and collective experiences through poetry and prose. The literature was characterized by a blend of traditional Armenian cultural elements and Soviet ideological influences. Writers often faced censorship, yet many managed to express their thoughts on Armenian history and identity while navigating the constraints of the Soviet system.
