'Tobias Rupprecht has high aspirations in his pathbreaking study of Soviet-Latin American encounters: to put Russia in global history, to put Latin America in Soviet history, and to put culture into the study of international relations. Using sources from Brasilia to Bogata to Moscow, he succeeds admirably in Soviet Internationalism after Stalin.' David C. Engerman, Brandeis University, Massachusetts 'Tobias Rupprecht has written a compelling account of Soviet cultural relations with Latin America during the Cold War. It ranges across a wide variety of cultural sources, from official propaganda to travelogues and films. ... this is an interesting and useful study of a topic that has received too little attention in the recent past, and Rupprecht should be commended for having approached it with precision and flair.' Alessandro Iandolo, Journal of Contemporary History 'Overall, this outstanding book deserves a wide audience among Soviet historians and cultural historians of the Cold War. It rests on deep and wide-ranging primary source research (Russian archives, Russian and Spanish-language publications, and a handful of interviews), as well as a thorough command of recent scholarship in English, German, Russian, and Spanish, yet it is well written and engaging.' Julie Hessler, Slavic Review

Julie Hessler, Slavic Review '... an in-depth study on Soviet instruments, hopes, expertise, understanding and results of cultural and academic policy with regard to Latin America ... predestined to serve as a highly valuable work of reference on Soviet-Latin American cultural relations, the more so as Soviet-Latin American relations in general remain on the current research agenda.' Ragna Boden, Jahrbucher fur Geschichte Osteuropas
