Our compatriots emigrated to Latin America for various reasons—economic, political, and ideological. Most of them embraced the customs of their new home without losing their own. You will learn about the involvement of Russian soldiers and officers in the war between Bolivia and Paraguay, and about the Russian Cossacks who elevated Argentine agriculture to unprecedented heights; about the Russian emigrant artists whose canvases rightfully entered the golden treasury of Latin American culture. You will also find it intriguing to uncover new details of the NKVD operation to eliminate Leon Trotsky in Mexico.
