metadata.value: The idea of a world revolution, in fact, had always been a leitmotiv in the politics of the Soviet
  Union. Initially, it called for an immediate overthrow of capitalism on a global scale. However, from
  the mid-1920s, the catchphrase of “socialism in one country” defined its core and, from the mid-1930s,
  it began to be identified with Stalin’s theory of the state. In reality, the key ideas behind the philosophy of world revolution were being partially put to practice only in the Soviet Union, where the Bolsheviks
  had been able to hold on to power, ban private ownership and minimize market relations. Attempts by
  the Comintern to foment uprisings in other countries were an utter failure. Under the circumstances,
  by the mid-1930s, the call for a world revolution had been removed from open propaganda but were
  still preserved within the Red Army. It was the latter that was to be regarded as the main weapon for
  overthrowing capitalism. Soviet Union foreign policy was aimed at creating favorable conditions for
  the world revolution and at rocking the Versailles system. By the end of the 1930s some elements of
  raison d’état had emerged, but they truly finally came to the forefront of the Soviet policy within the
  context of the anti-Hitler coalition of 1941–1945. Refs. 54.
