Summary:The article focuses on the Soviet citizenship obtaining by Spanish immigrants who arrived in the Soviet Union during and after the Civil War (1936-1939), ended in the defeat of the Republicans. The article addresses the status before the acquisition of nationality under the laws of the Soviet Union, and especially the process of taking Soviet citizenship, complicated by several factors.
