Derenik Demirchian’s “Impressions from Kasakh” is a documentary-style essay depicting the 1928 spring campaign and the collective struggle against the flooding of the Kasakh River in Soviet Armenia. As both observer and participant, Demirchian portrays the determination and unity of peasants, engineers, Komsomol members, and Red Army soldiers who fought to save their lands from disaster. Blending humor with lyrical realism, he celebrates the heroism of labor and the triumph of human cooperation over nature’s destructive power. “Impressions from Kasakh” stands as a vivid testament to resilience, solidarity, and faith in collective progress.
