There are factories built in Armenia during the soviet years which occupy large territories in Yerevan. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, as in all other post-communist countries in Armenia also these factories together with their entire neighborhoods have been left idle, and are no more capable of performing the role which had been reserved for them by the Soviet ideology.

These vast and inoperative ruins are witnesses of Armenia's unrealized industrial dream, which even under the present high-level unemployment still remain desirable.

However, the entire post-soviet situation can be characterized by this semi-destroyed and futile condition. 

It seems like the post-soviet reality is in a hazy state on the crossroad of selecting its political direction.

But the dreadful image of factories reiterates the fact that corrections of such errors always require large time intervals.
