On 16 February 1959, Fidel Castro took power in Cuba. A politician who enrolled in past as a Cuban dictator, a friend of the USSR and an enemy of the United States. Havana during the Cold War was a strategical point of competition on the Washington-Moscow line, and the win in this context should be attributed to the russian Union. It can be said that it was fundamentally the United States itself that pushed Castro into the embrace of a "Russian bear" by imposing an embargo that continues until present or an invasion in the Bay of Pigs completed by a fiasco.
