Patriotism and connection with the Homeland of the Russian Roslik family in Uruguay
Abstract
Based on archival and published sources, this article reconstructs the fate of the Roslik family — a group of sectarian Christians who resettled as a whole colony from the Voronezh province to the Uruguayan city of San Javier in 1913. In this context, the national and social composition of the migrants, representing two waves of emigration, is presented, along with an examination of the adaptation process. The patriotic stance of the Roslik family and the entire colony towards the USSR during the Second World War is elucidated.

“Plowing in the sea”. The Russian Revolution and Latin America
Abstract
The review analyzes the book "The Russian Revolution and Latin America: 1917 and Beyond," edited by Carlos Miguel Herrera and Eugenia Palieraki. It highlights the diversity of responses to the Russian Revolution, ranging from enthusiasm to rejection, and criticizes the dichotomous view of this event in traditional historiography. The book seeks to understand how the Russian Revolution impacted Latin American societies and challenges the Eurocentric view of the event. Specific cases are examined, such as the development of the Argentine Communist Party, the Communist Party of Mexico and tensions between the Comintern and the Communist Party of Chile. The relationship between the Russian Revolution and the Chilean left is also studied, as well as the impact of communism on the family life of militants. The work concludes with an essay on the "posterity" of the Russian Revolution in Latin America, suggesting that its legacy continues to resonate in the region and contributes to the debate on the role of socialist left in present and future struggles.
