ABSTRACT

Forty-six years ago Jawaharlal Nehru came to the USSR for the celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the Great October Revolution. He visited the land of Soviets along with Motilal Nehru, his father, an outstanding leader of the Indian National Congress, his wife Kamala and younger sister Krishna. In February 1927 Jawaharlal Nehru took part in the Brussels International Congress against Colonial Oppression and Imperialism as an official representative of the Indian National Congress (INC). The participation of an INC representative in the Congress was a signal event. The Congress was determining its position towards international problems against the background of a grim struggle being waged by the anti-imperialist forces headed by the Soviet Union against the forces of reaction. In February 1927 Jawaharlal Nehru took part in the Brussels International Congress against Colonial Oppression and Imperialism as an official representative of the INC.
