چکیده:
The emergence of the Azerbaijan Democratic Party is one of the most important political events of the 20th century in Iran, which was formed between August 1945 and the end of December 1946 with the full support of the Soviet government. Moscow's full support for this process included political, military, commercial, industrial, cultural, scientific, and educational aspects, which were done directly and indirectly. The purpose of this research was to examine the dimensions of the Soviet Union's cooperation with the movement under the leadership of Pishevari, focusing on economic and cultural affairs. The research method is library and with an emphasis on first-hand sources, especially the archive of the The National Library and Archives of Iran, publications such as Azarbaijan newspaper (the official organ of the Azerbaijan Democratic Party), and other leftist newspapers such as Ajir and Azade Mellat. In the end, it is concluded that the authorities of Moscow exert double pressure on the central government of Iran in order to obtain the concession of oil in the north and to show progressive socialist measures to the members of the Iranian society, supported fully by the democratic party and the one-year continuity of their rule has been directly influenced by these relationships.

In conclusion, it is determined that Moscow authorities, with the aim of exerting double pressure on the central government of Iran to obtain oil concessions in the north and to demonstrate progressive socialist activities to the people of Iran, took action to provide comprehensive support for the Democratic Party, and the continuity of their one-year rule was also under the direct influence of these relations.
The country's public newspapers such as Ettela'at, Kayhan, and local leftist periodicals like Azar, Vatan Yolanda, Azad Mellat, and especially Azerbaijan, contain very important information regarding the developments of the party and its cultural and economic cooperation with the Soviet Union.
The books "Iran and the Cold War, the Azerbaijan Crisis 1945-1946," written by Faust (1994), "The Rise and Fall of the Azerbaijan Democratic Party (as narrated by the confidential documents of the archives of the Soviet Union)" by the important work of Hasanli (2004), "Iran and Azerbaijan in the Context of History and Language," written by Javadi (2016), and "Decrees of Establishment, Administration, and Dissolution of the Azerbaijan Democratic Party Government" by Bayat (2021) also contain very valuable information in this regard.
The leaders of the Democratic Party, including Pishevari, Salamullah Javid, and Jafar Kavian, who were elected to the national committee of the party in Azar 1945, then became members of the local government, all played a role in the formation of the Communist Party of Iran and spent some years of their lives in the Soviet Union and had Russian education and training (Faust, 1994: 84; Ibrahimian, 1992: 470).
