We publish A.B. Ranovich's review on A.V. Mishulin's dissertation “Ancient Spain and its entry into the struggle for independence (before the establishment of Roman provincial system in 197 B.C.)”, which was defended in 1943 at the Institute of History of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In our opinion, A.B. Ranovich's participation in this dissertation's disputation was connected with A.V. Mishulin's ambition to get positive feedback on his work from his closest colleagues, and A.B. Ranovich was not only well acquainted with the thesis candidate, but also partly owed to him his own academic career. That, in our opinion, is the reason why A.B. Ranovich gave such a positive review on dissertation research casting it as ‘an original scholarly work based on a deep study of the sources', while the authors of the 1950s and 1980s thought that A.V. Mishulin only managed to collect a lot of material on this topic and attract the attention of Soviet Marxist historians to it.
