We know about today’s heroes just as much as about the past and forgotten ones: There were bold, strong and noble. That’s it.

When the Soviet Union was demolished, the same happened with the pantheon of its heroes. Or better to say, one group of idols was replaced by another one. The issue is not a change of idols. Brand new political force brings its heroes and retired idols of the opposite side. The interesting part is that the society is missing a long-term memory. The reason for instant erasing of heroes from society’s memory is that people know almost nothing about them besides the pathetic rhetoric.

It’s almost a quarter of a century that Bolsheviks Lalayants and Knunyants were forgotten. Before that, for many decades we were walking down the streets named after them, not even wanting to know who they are. With this picture I am beginning to publish Forgotten Stories on Revolutionaries, where you can learn about the daily life of the former heroes.
