The main object of this paper is the analyse of the influence of the Soviet Russia on two Spanish writers. In particular, it addresses the influence of October revolution and soviet experience on novels of the twenties such as La Espuela (The Spur of Joaquín Arderíus, 1927) and La Venus mecánica (Mechanical Venus of José Díaz Fernández, 1929). Both writers were positioned against Primo de Rivera’s dictatorship and participated in the Spanish section of friends of the Soviet Union in the thirties. Their works, apart from other means, were a critical weapon against fascism, the exploitation of workers and the reaction to the harsh working conditions and lack of freedom. These novels showed an intellectual commitment to the ideals shared by the proletariat of a better future and a discourse of emancipation of humanity, furthermore avant-garde examples of social and political orientation.
