Summary/Abstract: Vasily Grossman is one of the most prominent and interesting writers of Soviet era. His journalist papers on II war period, and later on his major literary work, novel „Life and Fate” made his name famous among the best writers of Russian culture. When his famous „Life and Fate” novel was seized in 1960 by KGB (Grossman himself was never arrested by the Soviet authorities) his literary career broke for that moment. As a moral compensation Grossman got a special translation work in Armenia, which he managed to put into a special prose called „An Armenian Sketchbook”. Grossman writes up soviet Armenia with poetical instruments that we are able to analyze through geopoetics and socrealism. Some parts of Grossman’s „Armenian Sketchbook”, though, could also be understood by postcolonial interpretation.
