SPENSER, Daniela. The Journey of Vicente Lombardo Toledano to the World of the Aftertime. Desacatos [online]. 2010, n.34, pp.77-96. ISSN 2448-5144.

The article follows the itinerary of Vicente Lombardo Toledano to the Soviet Union and puts the ideas of the Mexican traveller into a broader perspective. It explores the enthusiasm and the fears that on Lombardo Toledano's return in the fall of 1935 his conferences provoked in the peculiar circumstances of Mexico and the world, when the political elite and the population were divided between supporters and opponents of Lázaro Cárdenas. The article inquires into the degree to which Lombardo Toledano's conferences projected his political agenda for Mexican society and as a defense of the Soviet Union.

Keywords : Vicente Lombardo Toledano; Lázaro Cárdenas; Soviet Union.
