Abstract

After the fall of Reza Shah in September 1941 and the creation of an open political space, many parties were formed in Iran. One of these parties was the Tudeh Party, which was formed in October 1941. It started its work in Iran with fascism, but the party tried to seize power in Iran by forming a military organization and infiltrating the army with the help of Soviet military forces stationed in Iran and the unrest and chaos in the country and at the discretion of the Soviets.
The question of the present researcher is what was the role of the military organization of the Tudeh Party in the Democratic Party of Azerbaijan and what was its relationship with the Soviets and what was the purpose of this relationship?
The hypothesis of the present study is that the military organization of the Tudeh Party, following the Soviet policies in Iran, tried to implement the Soviet policies in Iran with measures such as the uprising of the Democratic Party of Azerbaijan.
