biography
Elda Grin's parents came from Tbilisi, but studied at the Academy of Mining in Moscow. Her father became the director of an institute - and in 1936 exiled to Armenia for reasons unknown .
Grin studied in the Department of Foreign Languages at the Russian Pedagogical Institute between 1943 and 1947. She defended her dissertation in 1955, after which she went to the Yerevan State University (YSU) as a research assistant .
In 2003 she became an Associate Professor of Psychology there, where she also worked as an expert on legal issues after she founded forensic psychology in Armenia. For her teaching and research activities she was awarded a gold and a silver medal by the YSU.
Grin has contributed to more than a hundred academic papers and contributed to several textbooks and manuals. She took part in court proceedings as a forensic expert and appeared in public in this role.
At a commemoration ceremony in March 2018 for her 90th birthday, colleagues from YSU posthumously recognized her work as "of great value for justice and psychology", as there was little high-quality Armenian specialist literature. Her nephew, former Armenian Justice Minister Davit Harutyunyan , who also studied psychology, was among the guests .
