JEIFETS, Lazar  y  JEIFETS, Victor. El giro a la izquierda en América Latina y el nacimiento del nuevo bolivarianismo: las tradiciones de la Komintern y la actualidad. CS [online]. 2009, n.4, pp.195-212. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i4.441.

The idea of a ''Bolivarian revolution'', promoted by the president of Venezuela Hugo Chávez, may seem new and innate within the current turn towards the left in several South American countries. However, this idea was already known and fostered in the first half of the XXth century, when several revolutionary political movements sought the support of Moscow in their attempt to seize power in Andean countries. This article examines the influence of the Third International on the plans of the revolutionary groups in the so-called Bolivarian countries, and notes the similarities and differences between this relationship and the one that Chavez currently has with some Venezuelan leftist movements.
