Establishment of the Trade Relations between the Soviet Union and the States of the Arabian Peninsula

The article deals with the problem of the establishment and development of the commercial and political relations between the Soviet Union and the states of Arabian Peninsula in the 1920-1930's. Soviet Union was the first country to establish full diplomatic relations with Hijaz (the name of the Saudi state until 1932). However, relations cooled later on due to the reaction of the Western countries, especially Great Britain.
