معنی
To force someone to change their mind.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Armenia, this phrase is frequently used to describe the influence of 'sects' (աղանդներ). There is a strong social stigma against groups that are perceived to 'wash the brains' of young people. The term carries a heavy legacy from the Soviet era, where it was used as a weapon in ideological warfare between the East and West. Armenian youth use this phrase to describe the 'TikTok' or 'Instagram' effect, where algorithms dictate behavior. During protests in Yerevan, you will often see posters accusing the government or the opposition of 'brainwashing' the public.
