| dc.description.abstract | The participation of Armenians in the Spanish Civil War is almost unknown. At least one hundred Armenians from different countries (France, USA, Canada, Bulgaria, Turkey, Lebanon) participated in that war, on a completely voluntary basis, as members of special military units known as International brigades. Armenians, who became stateless due to the xenophobia and genocidal policies of the Ottoman Empire, simply could not tolerate the outbreak of fascism in another part of the world and joined in the struggle against fascism, sometimes at the cost of their lives. Captain Vahan Chkayan, an officer in the Republican army, is an outstanding figure among these volunteers. Several Soviet Armenian specialists were officially sent by the USSR to support the Spanish communists. During the war years, Soviet Armenian citizens, like all the peoples of the Soviet Union, were forced to express their sympathy for the Spanish people through donations and raising awareness of the events in Spain. They organized various cultural events and gatherings. The Spanish Civil War and its heroes became a source of inspiration for some Armenian writers. | |
