metadata.value: The Spanish Civil War played a unique role in the Soviet Union’s geo-political strategies in
  the second half of the 1930s. The conflict marked the first occasion that Moscow had participated
  in a foreign war beyond its traditional spheres of influence. But Soviet involvement in
  the Spanish war went far beyond the sale of armor and aviation to the beleaguered Spanish
  Republic. While Moscow organized and supported the creation of the International Brigades,
  on the cultural front, the Soviets sought to roll out a broad program of propaganda, employing
  film, poster art and music to link the destinies of the Slavic and Hispanic peoples. If scholars
  have succeeded in recent years to rewrite the history of many components of Soviet participation
  in the Spanish Civil War, diplomatic relations between the Republic and Moscow remain
  an unexplored theme. This is the first instalment of a two-part article, unpublished official
  documents, as well as memoirs, newsreels, private letters and the press, to offer the first narrative
  history of the Republican embassy in Moscow. The diplomatic rapprochement between
  the USSR and Spain in 1933 is explored as a prelude to the exchange of ambassadors following
  the outbreak of the Civil War in summer 1936. The appointment of the young Spanish doctor
  Marcelino Pascua to a newly recreated Moscow embassy is examined in detail, up to autumn
  1937. This article allows the reader hitherto unavailable access to the daily trials, disappointments
  and occasional breakthroughs experienced by the Spanish Republican ambassador in
  Stalin’s Soviet Union.
