Formation of pro-Soviet student organizations in Europe in the 1920s

The paper is devoted to the creation and activities of pro-Soviet student organizations, which began to form in Europe since the early 1920s. The largest organizations of pro-Soviet students were located in Czechoslovakia, Germany, France and Austria, where there were the most favorable conditions for education, initially they had no common organization and acted on their own initiative. Most of these unions sought to establish relations with representatives of Soviet organizations. For its part, the Soviet leadership sought to use these unions for political purposes to disunite emigrant circles in Europe, but during the 1920s the position of the Soviet side was transformed towards the training of professional personnel for the USSR.
