Abstract

The beginning for two historical discussions connected with names of Pío Moa and Víctor Suvórov was given at different times in Spain and Russia. On the one hand, their comparison could seem strange, since that intellectual ambience, in which they were formed and developed in one country was invisibly far from the situation on the other. But if we examine more detail, the presence of many similar lines inherent not only in the discussions, but also in their inspirers becomes obvious. In both countries the activity of Moa and Suvórov became a cultural phenomenon of huge importance since the time they had the much bigger response in the society, than usual historical debate. Mainly, it has been connected with that from the beginning in addition to the scientific community it has joined his polemic many representatives of the public opinion. And the same main participants have chosen the tactics of the appeal to the popular masses that has multiplied the strong social resonance and has led finally to the considerable politicization of this topic.
