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 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 This is the conclusion of a two-part article that explores declassified, unpublished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. In part one, the diplomatic
  rapprochement between the USSR and Spain in 1933 was explored as a prelude to the
  exchange of ambassadors following the outbreak of the civil war in summer 1936. The posting
  of the young Spanish doctor Marcelino Pascua to a newly recreated Moscow embassy was then
  examined in detail, up to the end of summer 1937. In the second part, the successes, failures
  and denouement of Pascua’s mission are set against the backdrop of the Republic’s dwindling
  fortunes in the civil war.
