Description
Summary:The Soviet Union tried, after the Nazis took power in Germany, to build up an antifascist coalition with Great Britain and France. Wide institutional framework of Soviet soft power was introduced to support Moscow's weak position. The British and French public reaction was positive, but it was not strong enough to force the governments to fulfil Soviet economic and security expectations. The Civil War in Spain disapproved the Soviet attempt to collaborate with the Great Powers and the strategy of collective security was withdrawn.
