Так начинался Наркоминдел

The book of international historians S. Zarnitsky and L. Trofimova "This is how the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs began" tells about the first foreign policy actions of the Soviet state. Based on documentary and archival materials, Soviet and foreign publications, the authors show under what difficult conditions the world's first socialist state asserted its foreign policy based on the Leninist principles of proletarian internationalism and the peaceful coexistence of states with different social systems.
The reader will learn a lot about those who laid the foundation for a truly popular, socialist diplomacy: G. Chicherin, N. Markin, V. Vorovsky, I. Kolomiytsev, L. Krasin and others.
