metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article investigates responses of Soviet schoolchildren of middle and older ages towards the
  Spanish Civil War and the arrival of Republican children to the USSR in the second half of the 1930s. Interest in
  reactions of this age category is connected with the fact that soon after they would bear the brunt of sacrifices in
  the struggle with Nazi Germany and received the status of front-line generation. Emotionally perceived events in
  a distant country became the source of its ideas about the future total war of the USSR and an important frontier
  in psychological preparation for it. Despite the refusal of the country’s political leadership to foment a revolution
  in Spain, this idea was guiding for young Soviet citizens. The Republican struggle, meaningful as an outbreak
  of world revolution, gave rise to their various manifestations of solidarity, including the collection of funds, attempts
  of individual and group escapes to Spain, and the self-organization of paramilitary units to join international
  teams. In the light of the dramatic experience of the Spanish Republicans, the future of the communist project
  among Soviet youth was now linked only to the fierce war that the Soviet Union was to withstand with some not
  necessarily decisive support from the progressive world community.
