This article shows that, despite the importance of the Soviet model in the Latin American imaginary, the latter's relations with Moscow during the Cold War have not been a topic of frequent research. The sixties saw the rise of the first studies on the subject, which expanded in the early seventies, and again in the late eighties after a phase of "silence," but which were strongly impregnated by the typical prejudices of their context. Other than punctual interpretations, however, the end of the conflict has not stimulated the academic renovation that was expected, and an evaluation of the "state of the art" shows that, In the area of Soviet-Latin American ties, the social sciences are still In debt.

Este artículo muestra que, a pesar de la importancia del modelo soviético en el imaginarlo latinoamericano, las relaciones con Moscú durante la Guerra Fría no han constituido un objeto de estudio privilegiado. Los sesenta ven surgir los primeros trabajos, ampliados a comienzos de los setenta y, luego de una fase de "silencio", a fines de los ochenta. Pero éstos se encuentran fuertemente impregnados de prejuicios propios del contexto. Más allá de interpretaciones puntuales, el fin del conflicto no ha estimulado la renovación académica esperada. Una evaluación del "estado de la cuestión" demuestra que, en el ámbito de los lazos soviétlco-latinoamericanos, las ciencias sociales están todavía en deuda. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
