This project supports the dissertation research of a cultural anthropology student in Soviet Armenia. The student will interview residents of two Soviet Armenian villages where local and diasporan Armenians are collaborating in reconstruction projects following the 1988 earthquake. The project will study how the rebuilding reflects local conceptions of national Armenian identity in the current changing macro-political context of a dissolved Soviet Union. Using participant observation, residential surveys, and formal interviews, the student will see how plain citizens as well as architects and developers express Armenian identity in their construction plans. This research is important because knowledge of the nationalist feelings and values of Eastern European peoples is critically important at this time in history, as the Soviet empire reduces its scope.

本项目支持前苏联亚美尼亚文化人类学学生的论文研究。学生将采访两个苏联亚美尼亚村庄的居民，当地和散居的亚美尼亚人在1988年地震后的重建项目中合作。该项目将研究在苏联解体的当前不断变化的宏观政治背景下，重建如何反映亚美尼亚民族身份的当地观念。通过参与观察、住宅调查和正式访谈，学生将看到普通市民、建筑师和开发商如何在他们的建筑计划中表达亚美尼亚身份。这项研究很重要，因为了解东欧人民的民族主义情感和价值观在这个历史时期是至关重要的，因为苏联帝国正在缩小其范围。
