For this, it focuses on the editorial work that, in such decades, the Ukrainian immigrant Boris Orjikh fulfilled. The article highlights the factors that, according to our vision, explain both the popularity of the Soviet experience in the public opinion and within the state administration, as well as the durability of the Soviet in the imaginary of an important part of the Chilean left. In addition, the text also reports on the appearance of a certain political-editorial practice and its contribution to the development of the communist culture during the first half of the last century.
