PEDEMONTE, Rafael. An Indebted Historiography: Relations Between Latin America and the Soviet Union During the Cold War. hist.crit. [online]. 2015, n.55, pp.231-254. ISSN 0121-1617.  https://doi.org/10.7440/histcrit55.2015.10.

This article shows that, despite the importance of the Soviet model in the Latin American imaginary, the latter's relations with Moscow during the Cold War have not been a topic of frequent research. The sixties saw the rise of the first studies on the subject, which expanded in the early seventies, and again in the late eighties after a phase of "silence," but which were strongly impregnated by the typical prejudices of their context. Other than punctual interpretations, however, the end of the conflict has not stimulated the academic renovation that was expected, and an evaluation of the "state of the art" shows that, in the area of Soviet-Latin American ties, the social sciences are still in debt.
