Abstract

Background: In most Latin American states, a revolutionary situation persists after the Second World War. Left-wing radical armed groups have intensified guerrilla warfare, especially in Guatemala, Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua, Peru, and El Salvador. 

Objective: to identify the historical characteristics and understand the development of guerilla movements. 

Methods: The authors have chosen the case of Colombia since Russia has been strongly influenced by Marxist- Leninist ideology at the beginning of the 20th century. 

Results: Readers, particularly in Russia, are little familiar with the history of Colombia, the authors dwell on the details of the development of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. 

Conclusions: authors compared activities of Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia with the work of similar movements in Russia, which help readers to better understand the conclusions reached by the authors.
