Abstract
The perception of the USSR among Czechoslovak legionnaires and the attitude towards it as a partner and possible ally is studied. Special attention is paid to the external factor that influenced the change of opinion. It is established that the opinion of a legionnaire about the USSR was often formed under the influence of his political views. There was both sympathy and denial of any contact with the USSR. It has been established that in the 1930s, German policy led to a change in attitudes towards the USSR both within the ruling elite and among the legionnaires.
