 | Spain Betrayed by Grigory Sevostianov, Mary R. Habeck, Ronald Radosh
These documents from Soviet archives shed new light on the Soviet Union`s role in one of the 20th century`s most debated events, the Spanish Civil War. They seem to support the contention that the Soviet Union was an instigator in the events and that its goal was to manipulate Spain`s military and political structure and ultimately bring about a rule of the proletariat.
