Derenik Demirchyan’s “The Labor Correctional Home” depicts the moral and ideological transformation of Soviet society through its new correctional philosophy. Set in the Yerevan Correctional House, the story contrasts the oppressive dungeons of the past with the humane, reform-oriented system of the Soviet era, where labor and education replace punishment. Demirchyan emphasizes the power of work and culture as means of moral rehabilitation and reintegration into society. The narrative stands as a profound social commentary on dignity, progress, and the human capacity for renewal through purposeful labor.
