Abstract

The article is a case study of the Colloquiums of Spanish and Russian Historians as the example of cultural and scientific contacts between Spain and Russia after the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1977. The great importance of the first colloquiums consisted in building cultural and ideological bridges between Soviet Union and post-Franco Spain. For three decades they were a forum for academic debates and a platform for discussing innovative methods and approaches in historical studies. The role of S. Pozharskaya, E. Sáez, M. Espadas Burgos, A. Chubaryan is studied.
