In the reflection of the enemy ... the idea of ​​Soviet Russia in Italy in the interwar period

The book talks about how the Italians imagined Soviet Russia, the people, its character, its past and present in the period between the two world wars, when the construction of communism was in full swing in the USSR, and fascism was strongly strongly in Italy. The widespread opinion about the irreconcilable confrontation between the two countries does not always correspond to reality and does not take into account many nuances. Enemies were often friends, putting economic and foreign policy interests above the ideological superstructure. At the same time, from the Soviet side, even decisive attempts were made to change the opinion of themselves for the better, which was far from just in the conditions of the totalitarian regime of Mussolini. But the war again mixed all the cards and turned the established picture upside down.
The book is intended for specialists in the history and culture of the USSR and Italy, as well as a wide range of readers interested in the history of Soviet-Italian relations.
