Derenik Demirchian’s “On the Qanaqer HPP” (Kanaker Hydroelectric Power Plant) is a vivid reportage about the construction of one of the major stations of the Sevan–Hrazdan hydropower cascade — a monumental project symbolizing the industrial rebirth of Soviet Armenia. Blending documentary precision with lyrical enthusiasm, Demirchian celebrates the engineers, workers, and Komsomol youth whose labor, discipline, and faith in progress forged both machines and a new socialist spirit. The essay is not merely about building a power plant but about shaping a new humanity — strong, conscious, and united by the creative force of work.
