In the Ararat Plain, 1938

The photograph shows the peaceful daily life of the Ararat Plain in the Armenian SSR. It was taken by the photographer Boris Ignatovich in 1938.

In the foreground a calf lies on the grass. Behind it, two men in caps sit on the ground; one of them holds an open notebook. Further back cows are grazing, and snow-capped mountains are visible on the horizon.

According to the source, the picture highlights the important role of agriculture, the harmony between people and nature, and the calm pace of work in an Armenian village of the Soviet period.
