| Summary: | Though communism and fascism are commonly seen as bitter rivals, the relationship between the two has received little attention. This article deals briefly with their common characteristics and then surveys the history of the Soviet Union's policy toward fascism. It treats theory, in terms of the changing Soviet interpretations and definitions of fascism, and practice, through the history of Soviet and Comintern policy toward fascist movements, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Differences between the years of the Third Period, the Popular Front and the Nazi-Soviet Pact are treated in detail, concluding with the strangely ambivalent Soviet policy during the Second World War. |
