description The author explores the exhibition "Revolutionary Spain Fighting against Fascism" (1936–1939, Museum of the History of Religion, Leningrad), focusing on the approaches and methods used for constructing and representation of the images of "great family" (hero, mother, father) and enemy, who opposed them. These archetypes were widely re-produced in Soviet culture, most particularly in the novels and stories created in the genre of socialist realism. The museum narrative was a kind of political parable, in which "Revolutionary Spain" (the hero) struggled against the "church and fascism" (the enemy). The role of the stern, but loving and caring father-mentor belonged to Stalin, whose portraits appeared several times at the exhibition. Homeland was the mother, for whose freedom the Republicans (sons and daughters) fought. Not all the Republicans, but only Communists were the ones, who gained the victory in this war.
