Summary

The Soviet Union is often presented as a largely isolated and idiosyncratic state, but Tobias Rupprecht challenges this view by telling the story of Soviet and Latin American intellectuals, students, political figures and artists, and their encounters with the 'other' from the 1950s through the 1980s.
