This research aims to study the history of Russian-Thai relations, which was featured in the Thai version of the Sovetskiy Soyuz magazine in 1978-1990 after a period of mass repressions against communists and leftwing movements in Thailand. The conducted content analysis of the magazine articles and other relevant documents makes it possible to draw the following conclusions: 1) The materials regarding the history of interaction between Russia and Thailand reflected the process of humanization of the image of the Soviet Union; 2) Peaceful cooperation played an important role in relations between the two countries.
