Agit-Prop comunista en la Guerra Civil: entre el Frente Popular y el Partido Único Obrero

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to reconstruct the propaganda launched by the Spanish Communist Party during the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). From the research already known and, above all, from the unpublished material located at the Documentary Centre for Historical Memory, the thesis which link the communist propaganda strategies to the International Communist Organization are qualified; particular strategies are needed and identified depending on the situation and the media and the different means used to transmit their information are analyzed. All this is dealt with to conclude that the intensity of the Communist propaganda in that period may have caused counterproductive effects for their political purposes.
