Radio Yerevan is actually not a radio station and it is also not
from Yerevan. It is a category of political jokes from the ex-
eastern bloc, partly aiming at deconstructing (socialist)
ideology. The jokes are aiming at the gap between
experienced reality and official ideology during the time of the
soviet empire.
Artist duo Graw Böckler use the Radio Yerevan jokes to
structure their documentation of a journey to Armenia and
Karabakh.
The anachronistic jokes confront the actual reality with it ́s
ideological past of declining socialism.
