The polar expedition of the airship "Italy" in 1928 gained worldwide fame first due to the propaganda campaign organized by the newspaper Corriere della Sera, and then due to the international scandal that followed the tragic end of the expedition. In the following years, the controversy surrounding Umberto Nobile, the study of his work and personality, maintained a keen interest in the enterprise, turning the expedition into a political tool: first as a means of fighting fascism in support of the communist idea, and then to restore the truth and refute the Soviet myth. The research presented to the reader is based on the analysis of archival sources, many of which have not been previously published. For the first time, Italian and Soviet documents related to the rescue of the airship "Italy" by the icebreaker "Krasin" are becoming available, which opens up new prospects for historical analysis.
