3 unusual facts about Soviet pro-Arab propaganda


Soviet pro-Arab propaganda

As early as the 1920s and 1930s the Communist Party Congress discussed solutions to dealing with the "pan-movements"—including pan-Islamism, pan-Turkism, and pan-Arabism.

During the Cold War era the Soviet Union used propaganda as one of their many overt tools to gain support on a global scale in the war waged against the United States.

Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (TASS) blamed the attack on 'Israeli Arabs'—this gives the attack legitimacy, presenting a 'partisan' resistance and placing the blame on unknown persons or on Israel itself.
