Summary/Abstract: In the year after the recognition of the USSR by Romania and the establishment of diplomatic relations, there were no cultural, economic etc. exchanges between the two countries. The author presents a secret police document from the Romanian inter-war period, the Siguranţa, containing the informative report of the Soviet delegations’ activities, who took part in the International Air Show, held in Bucharest, October, 1935. The agents followed step by step the Soviet pilots in order to prevent any subversive activities of them. In fact, the Romanian authorities did precisely the same thing as the police-state did in the USSR to foreign visitors.
