Soviet-era Cultural Houses have always served the Soviet ideology and agenda, becoming a unique cultural environment in the life of communities. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, these Cultural Houses have undergone various developments, ranging from "Soviet destruction" to re-conceptualization. It is especially important to examine what changes these institutions have undergone in border settlements. This article discusses the "developments" of Cultural Houses in the border communities of Tavush and Syunik regions, and the impact of the Nagorno-Karabakh 44 day war (2020) on the life and activities of these community centers.
