Stalin's government promoted Marxism–Leninism abroad through the Communist International and supported anti-fascist movements throughout Europe during the 1930s, particularly in the Spanish Civil War.
Rezim Stalin berusaha menyebarluaskan paham Marxisme-Leninisme ke luar Rusia melalui organisasi Komunis Internasional, dan mendukung gerakan-gerakan antifasis di seluruh Eropa pada era 1930-an, khususnya gerakan antifasis dalam perang saudara di Spanyol.
