Yes. The Soviet Union was one of only two governments to supply the Spanish Republic on any notable scale, the other being Mexico. The USSR provided guns, ammo, tanks, aircraft, and military advisors. You'll find a few answers that touch on Soviet support if you check out this SCW AMA we held a little while back.
