    The Project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating
    new sources, materials and perspectives from the former Communist bloc with the
    historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades
    largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to
    transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new
    links among scholars interested in Cold War history.

    Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., in 1991 with
    the generous support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. It is
    directed by Christian F. Ostermann, who oversees the Wilson Centers History and
    Public Policy Program.

    Among the activities undertaken by the Project to promote this aim are a periodic
    Bulletin and other publications to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former
    Communist bloc countries to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in
    the United States; and international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars.
    CWIHP receives funding from the Korea Foundation (Seoul), the MacArthur
    Foundation (Chicago), the Karl and Martha Maunter Fund, the Carnegie Corporation
    (New York), the Leon Levy Foundation (New York), the Blavatnik Family Foundation
    (New York), and other donors.
    Donations to the project are very welcome and, like all contributions to the Wilson
    Center, are tax-deductible.

    The Final Frontier: Cuban Documents on the


    Cuban Missile Crisis

    or most researchers probing the Cuban Missile Crisis, the


    Cuban archives have been the final frontierknown to
    exist, undoubtedly critical, yet largely and tantalizingly
    out of reach. For a little more than two decades, even as important archives remained shut (except to a few favored scholars),
    Havana has occasionally and selectively released closed materials
    on the crisis, often in the context of international conferences.
    This process began with Cuban participation in a series of critical oral history conferences in 1989-92 with U.S. and Soviet
    (and then Russian) veterans of the events, which climaxed in a
    January 1992 gathering in Havana at which Fidel Castro not
    only participated actively during all four days of discussions but
    several times, with a figurative snap of the fingers, declassified
    important Cuban records.1
    Ten years later, in October 2002, to mark the 40th anniversary of the crisis, Fidel Castro and the Cuban government again
    hosted an international assembly of scholars and former officials,
    co-organized with the National Security Archive (a non-governmental research institute and declassified documents repository
    based at George Washington University) and Brown Universitys
    Watson Institute for International Studies.2 For the conference
    (La Crisis de Octubre: Una vision politica 40 aos despues), in
    cooperation with the US co-sponsors, Cuba released hundreds of
    pages of additional documents pertaining to the events of the fall
    of 1962, from a variety of sourcesparty, military, intelligence,
    diplomatic, and more.3
    While many of these materials have been made available
    to specialists in the original Spanish through the National
    Security Archives website and Digital Archive, only a handful
    have either been translated into English or published in any
    form. What follows below is a selection of some of the most significant, high-level materials made available by Cuba for the
    2002 conference, which are appearing in English and in print
    for the first time. They include: a record of a meeting of Fidel
    Castro and his military commanders on 24 October 1962the
    day the U.S. blockade (quarantine) of the island went into
    effectas they discussion preparations for a potential American
    invasion; a chronology of Cuban contacts at the United Nations
    apparently prepared by Havanas ambassador, Carlos Lechuga
    Hevia4, and a bit of cable traffic between Lechuga and Cubas
    foreign minister, Ral Roa, regarding a Brazilian denuclearization proposal to declare Latin America an atomic-free zone
    (offering a wider cover for the removal of the Soviet missiles
    from Cuba); a report to Fidel Castro from Cuban President
    Osvaldo Dorticos regarding a conversation with Soviet (i.e.,

    Nikita Khrushchev) emissary Anastas Mikoyan near the end


    of his three-week November 1962 stay in Cuba; a summary
    of Mikoyans subsequent conversation in Washington with US
    President John F. Kennedy, conveyed to the Cubans at the UN
    in New York by Moscows ambassador to the United States,
    Anatoly F. Dobrynin; an internal report by communist party
    leader Blas Roca Calderio on his travels in Europe at the time
    of the crisis; andperhaps most valuably for those seeking to
    understand Soviet-Cuban interactions after the crisisa record
    of the conversation in Moscow in December 1962 between
    Nikita Khrushchev and a visiting Carlos Rafael Rodriguez,
    evidently the first face-to-face meeting between the Soviet leader
    and a senior Cuban communist figure since the Soviet leaders
    decision to withdraw the missiles, a step taken without advance
    notice to or consultation with Havana that aroused consternation among the Cuban leadership and populace. (The lastmentioned document is particularly valuable since the Soviet
    version has yet to emerge from the Russian archives.)
    While these documents are fascinating and important to
    understanding Cuban conduct, they unfortunately remain exceptional: Only a small percentage of the Cuban materials opened
    for the 2002 conference (or a predecessor in March 2001 to mark
    the 40th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs/Playa Giron events) dealt
    with top-level Cuban decision-making or exchanges with the
    Soviet Union. Moreover, Havana is not known to have made
    any further significant releases of historical documents on the
    1962 crisis in the past decade, and as a result, far more materials
    have been available on the Soviet (and Soviet bloc) perspective
    on the eventsespecially the Mikoyan mission, detailed in the
    just-published book The Soviet Cuban Missile Crisis, which
    includes essentially the complete record of those November 1962
    Soviet-Cuban exchanges from the Soviet side.5 This new book, in
    turn, builds on an already substantial record of Soviet materials
    previously (and now) made available, including scores of diplomatic cables from Moscows embassy in Havana published by the
    Cold War International History Project.6
    Consequently, the Cuban side of the 1962 eventsboth the
    October crisis confrontation with the United States, and the
    ensuing Soviet-Cuban crisis over Khrushchevs handling of the
    missiles removalremains largely inaccessible due to continued
    restrictions on Cuban sources. Worse, from a Cuban perspective,
    this means that the most important accounts continue to interpret
    and reconstruct Havanas actions (and Soviet-Cuban interactions) through the lens of other countries sources7from CIA
    reports to Soviet cables (and Russian memoirs) to the documents

    135

    of many other nations, whether communist, neutral, or Western,


    that are represented in this issue of the $8*)1 #VMMFUJO.
    Judging from the documents printed below, further releases of
    Cuban material and openings of Cuban archives could add a
    valuable fresh perspective on this event beyond the documents of
    the opposing nuclear superpowers, and help inform a more balanced narrative of one of the twentieth centurys most significant
    episodes. -JH

    Before The Bay of PigsWhat Did The


    Cubans Know?
    Cuban Intelligence Reports, January-May 1961

    &

    ments on the Bay of Pigs/Play Girn events were obtained by


    the National Security Archive in connection with a critical
    oral history conference in Havana in March 2001 (Bay of
    Pigs: 40 Years After) which the Archive (and particularly
    its Cuba coordinator, Peter Kornbluh) co-organized with
    Brown Watson Institute of International Studies (and particularly James G. Blight and janet M. Lang, who have
    since moved to the Balsillie School of International Affairs
    in Waterloo, Canada) and several Cuban partners, including the University of Havana.3 Of the documents presented
    below, a translation of the first (a 12 January 1961 reports
    on mercenary camps and bases in Guatemala, Nicaragua,
    and Florida) appeared on the National Security Archives
    website but has not previously appeared in print; the rest
    were translated for CWIHP by Christopher Dunlap for this
    issue of the Bulletin. While numerous books, articles, and
    other writings on the Bay of Pigs have been published, when
    it comes to government documentation, they generally rely
    almost exclusively on declassified US records, not Cuban.4
    A serious analysis of the documents that followand the
    accuracy and perspicacity of the Cuban intelligence reports,
    or their lack thereofwill require careful cross-comparison
    with other evidence, including available US records on the
    CIA/Pentagons train ing of the anti-Castro groups and the
    Kennedy Administrations relations with their leaders (still
    constrained by classification restrictions); the accounts of the
    anti-Castro force members and their (often feuding) leaders;
    and the still-limited sources on how the Cuban leadership
    actually integrated the sort of intelligence contained in these
    (and other) reports into their own calculations and decisions.5 Nevertheless, these sources at least begin to provide the
    opportunity to document the perspective, until now largely
    missing, of the Cuban intelligence services responsible for
    monitoring the activities of the enemies of the revolution
    (or gusanos wormsas Castros government then scorned
    them) as the Bay of Pigs approached. To further delve into
    what happened within Fidel Castros government before,
    during, and after the Bay of Pigs eventsat state, party,
    and military levelsmore Cuban evidence from the March
    2001 conference, never before translated, is available through
    the National Security Archive; and much more information
    awaits release from still-closed Cuban archives, and research
    in the archives of other nations (particularly communist
    ones) who in 1961 had diplomatic relations with Cuba, and
    embassies in Havana.J.H.

    d. note: The attempted invasion of Cuba by CIA-backed


    anti-Castro Cuban exiles at the Bay of Pigs/Playa Girn
    in April 1961 was a milestone not only in the intensifying confrontation between Cuba and the United States, and
    between Fidel Castro and John F. Kennedyit was also a crucial
    step toward the Cuban Missile Crisis (a year later, Soviet leader
    Nikita Khrushchev would justify sending nuclear missiles to the
    island on the grounds that this would deter the Americans from
    trying another military assault, this time with their own military
    forces). Its failureand many of the books on the affair bear
    titles attesting to that result, from 5IF 1FSGFDU 'BJMVSF to The
    #SJMMJBOU%JTBTUFS1also dealt a severe blow to the new Kennedy
    Administrations foreign policy and to the movement of antiCastro Cubans, both in exile and on the island, hoping to foment
    an insurrection to topple the bearded revolutionary who himself
    had overthrown the Batista dictatorship two years before.
    Since April 1961, one enduring question has been: What did
    Castros government know, and when did it know it, about the
    threat of an impending assault supported by the US government?
    Did their advance knowledge help the Cubans to crush the operation? Of course, any careful reader of such publications as The
    /FX :PSL5JNFT and The Nation in the winter of 1960-61
    knew that anti-Castro Cubans were being trained, in camps in
    Guatemala and elsewhere, with evident US government aid, for
    a military assault to try to recapture their island from Castro. In
    fact, such published reports led one senior Cuban revolutionary,
    Ernesto Che Guevara, to speculate to the Soviet ambassador
    in Havana in January 1961, days before Kennedy took office,
    that such reports had been deliberately leaked by Democrats to
    allow them to disavow an operation they had inherited from the
    Eisenhower Administration; even a few days before the invasion
    began, Guevara, then head of Cubas national bank, still doubted
    that an attempted invasion was imminent, since it would
    undoubtedly fail.2

    It is still not known precisely what Fidel Castro and


    his top associates thought was coming, but the four translated Cuban intelligence documents published belowthree
    reports on the anti-Castro groups preparations for military
    action in the first months of 1961, including on the eve of
    the Bay of Pigs, and then a post-mortem a couple of weeks
    after the attempted invasion was defeated and a massive
    crackdown launched on potential domestic enemies of the
    Castro governmentoffer some contemporaneous evidence as
    to what Cuban authorities actually knew at the time, beyond
    the published reports. They and many other Cuban docu-

    The Anti-Castro Cuban migr Forces:


    Mexican Documents, 1961-1963
    Obtained by Jorge Mendoza Castro and Translated by Tanya Harmer

    &

    d. Note: Relations between the Kennedy Administration


    and anti-Castro Cuban exile groups, never easy or
    simple, deteriorated significantly after the failure of the
    Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961, and even more so after the
    Cuban Missile Crisis ended with Washington, in exchange for
    Khrushchevs decision to withdraw the missiles, effectively foreswearing any plans to invade Cuba.1 Historians have long faced
    difficulty in documenting this sometimes tense relationship due
    to the classification of many pertinent US documents. However,
    the five translated documents below represent a potentially valuable new source base to explore this aspect of the US-Cuban
    confrontationthe Mexican archives. They suggest rising dissatisfaction among the anti-Castro activists at the declining level
    of US government support, finally leading to the resignation in
    April 1963 of one of the leading figures, Jose Miro Cardona, the
    head of the Cuban Revolutionary Council, whose lengthy and
    somewhat bitter resignation letter (found in the Mexican foreign
    ministry archives), detailing his secret contacts with the Kennedy
    Administration, is included here. The intelligence reports on
    the activities of the anti-Castro Cuban exiles are contained in
    a much-larger collection of records produced by the Mexican
    Federal Directorate of Security which is now available in the
    Archivo General de la Nacin. The documents were obtained by
    Jorge Mendoza Castro and translated by Tanya Harmer.

    Brazilian Foreign Policy toward the Cuban Issue


    A Secret Foreign Ministry Conclave, 26-27 December 1961
    Documents obtained and introduced by James G. Hershberg

    &

    Document No. 1

    d. note: On 22-31 January 1962, foreign ministers of


    countries belonging to the Organization of American
    States (OAS) gathered in Punta del Este, Uruguay, to discuss Cubaspecifically, harsh steps recommended by the United
    States and other like-minded states to punish the island nation for
    its close and expanding ties to the Soviet Union, including its possible expulsion from the OAS.1 (These proposed diplomatic measures were part of a broader US effort to isolate Cuba and if possible topple the Castro regime, including an economic embargo,
    covert operationsOperation Mongoose had been devised but
    not yet formally startedand assassination plotting.) In Brazil,
    the need to formulate an approach for the impending Punta del
    Este conference led Foreign Minister Santiago Dantas to convene
    a secret two-day meeting of senior aides and diplomats on 26-27
    December 1961. As shown by the translated (and apparently
    verbatim) record below, the planning sessions offered an opportunity for candid discussion of the conflicting pressures on the issue,
    and the policy options available. An official ally of Washington
    by virtue of the 1947 Rio Treaty, Brazil clearly belonged to the
    US sphere of influence, politically and economically, and formally
    opposed Soviet or communist penetration of the hemisphere. Yet,
    within Brazilian domestic politics there was considerable leftist
    admiration and sympathy for the Cuban revolution, and a widespread belief that the island should be left to determine its own
    destinywithout interference or intervention from the United
    States or anyone else. Moreover, Brazils diplomats represented
    a nation eager to show a more independent posture to the world
    (it had recently even sent an observer to the first conference of
    the nonaligned movement in Belgrade2), even as it had to
    safeguard its crucial relationship with Washington. Behind closed
    doors, Dantas and his colleagues could hash out bluntly many
    of the pertinent issues in a way they could not in either public
    forums (susceptible to press attention) or diplomatic channels
    where a stray word might exacerbate US fears. Ultimately, at
    Punta del Este, the Brazilians, led by Dantas, would resist and
    significantly water down the sanctions promoted by US Secretary
    of State Dean Rusk.3--J.H.

    The Polyansky Report on Khrushchevs Mistakes in


    Foreign Policy, October 1964Excerpt on The Cuban
    Missile Crisis.
    Translation by Svetlana Savranskaya

    &

    EOPUFWhen Nikita Khrushchev was ousted as General


    Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
    (CPSU) in mid-October 1964, many outside observers
    connected his downfall at the hands of his Kremlin associates to
    what was widely viewed as his humiliating defeat in the Cuban
    Missile Crisis exactly two years earlier, when under pressure from
    US President John F. Kennedy he withdrew the nuclear missiles
    he had secretly deployed to the island.1 Khrushchev had alienated many members of the Soviet party Presidium (Politburo)
    with a variety of policies, actions, and behaviors, so his failed
    Cuban gambit was hardly solely responsible for his ouster.
    However, as Timothy Naftali and Aleksandr Fursenko comment, it indeed left him vulnerable to attack.2 The indictment
    prepared to condemn Khrushchev at the climactic 14 October
    1962 CPSU Central Committee plenum, by Politburo member
    Dmitri Polyanski, indeed included a scathing denunciation of
    Khrushchevs adventurism in sending the missiles to Cuba, causing the deepest of crises [that] brought the world to the brink of a
    nuclear war. Ridiculing Khrushchevs claims of having achieved
    a successful penetration of Latin America, Polyanski dismissed
    his contention that the crisis had in fact ended with a Soviet
    victory. The full text of Polyanskis report is now available; here
    is the section on the missile crisisor what Soviets knew as the
    Caribbean Crisistranslated by Svetlana Savranskaya of the
    National Security Archive.

    SECTIO N 4: Communist Eur ope

    Czechoslovakia-Cuba Relations and the Cuban


    Missile Crisis, 1959-1962:
    Evidence from the Prague Archives

    &

    d. note: Of all the Soviet Unions Warsaw Pact allies in


    Eastern Europe, Czechoslovakia appears to have forged
    the fastest and closest political, economic, and military
    relationship with Fidel Castros revolutionary leadership after
    it seized power in Havana at the beginning of 1959. (In fact,
    Russian documents have disclosed, Castros guerrilla army first
    sought to purchase arms from Czechoslovakiain apparently its
    first such foray beyond the Iron Curtainas early as December
    1958, on the eve of its final victory over the Batista dictatorship;
    the Kremlin approved the limited transaction, conducted through
    a Costa Rican firm.1) With some in Havana considering relations
    with Prague an ice-breaker2 for further ties to the communist
    camp (Soviet-Cuban diplomatic relations were not restored until
    19603), Czechoslovak and Cuban leaders frequently exchanged
    visits and openly signed agreements to increase trade, cultural,
    scientific, educational exchanges, and the likeand secretly
    negotiated extensive arms transfers of Soviet-bloc arms to the rulers in Havana as they sought to defeat an ongoing challenge from
    anti-Castro Cuban insurgents (both on the island and in exile)
    and the looming threat of assault from Washington as US-Cuban
    relations rapidly deteriorated.
    The collection of translated Czechoslovak documents presented
    here document this emerging relationship from 1959 to 1962
    (at least from Pragues perspective and through the lens of Czech
    documentsunfortunately, Cuban archives containing records
    of foreign diplomatic and inter-party contacts remain closed,
    preventing a better understanding of Havanas side of the story).4
    They are divided into two sections.
    The first section presents evidence on the early development
    of Czechoslovak-Cuban relations from 1959 to 1961, which
    includes the somewhat sensitive issue of Pragues attempting to
    grasp the relationship and balance of power within Havanas
    rulers between Fidel Castros July 26th movement and the
    traditional, pro-Moscow communist party, the Peoples Socialist
    Party (PSP). The reports here include contacts of the ruling
    Czechoslovak Communist Party (CPCz) leadership with both
    camps, including such figures as Raul Castro and Che Guevara,
    both of whom visited Czechoslovakia during this period, and,
    significantly, extensive information on the Prague governments
    decision, in late September 1959, to approve sending what was
    euphemistically described as special technical supplies or special
    technology (i.e., weapons, specifically 50,000 submachine guns
    and ammunition) to Havana, using a neutral Swiss firm as a
    cut-out to conceal the transaction, especially from American eyes.5
    The Czechoslovak willingness to covertly aid Cuba militarily,

    at Havanas behest, paralleled a comparable deal contemplated


    by Poland at the same timeand both required a green-light
    from Moscow, which Nikita Khrushchevbriefly in the capital
    in between visits to the United States and China at the end
    of Septembersecretly gave, overruling Kremlin associates
    who considered tying the Soviet Union to revolutionary Cuba
    a hopeless cause since it was so firmly within the US sphere of
    influence. According to Fursenko and Naftali, who first revealed
    the episode (without the piquant details provided by the Czech
    documentation here), the step was a significant indication of the
    Soviet leaders emotional commitment to the new regime on the
    distant island, foreshadowing more fateful actions in the years to
    come. If one were to choose the point at which the United States
    and the Soviet Union started inclining toward their first direct
    military clash, it was this day in late September 1959, they
    wrote. By approving the weapons saleFursenko and Naftali
    were referring to the Polish sale, but Khrushchev apparently also
    approved the simultaneous Czech dealKhrushchev signaled to
    the top levels of the Soviet government that he would take risks to
    pursue Soviet aims in Latin America.6
    Notably, the Czech documents reveal, in July 1959 the
    Cubans had told a visiting Czech trade delegation in Cuba that
    Fidel Castro desired to obtain arms from Czechoslovakia, but
    that given the current tense situation the purchase of these goods
    could only be made by way of a third country, otherwise direct
    supplies from Czechoslovakia could be politically manipulated
    by the United States, as in the case of Guatemala. To mask
    the sales actual partners, the documents show, the sale was to be
    made via a complicated conduit involving neutral Switzerland
    using financing from the charity C.A.R.E. Evidently, the Cubans
    succeeded in organizing such arrangements under the noses of
    Americans and of the Central Intelligence Agency in particular. In
    a late November 1959 conversation with the British ambassador
    in Washington, CIA director Allen W. Dulles explained the US
    objections to a proposed UK sale of planes to Cuba because he
    wanted the Cuban government to turn behind the Iron Curtain
    for arms, just like Arbenz had done in Guatemala, for this would
    help mobilize anti-Castro Cubans in exile for a covert operation
    to unseat the leadership in Havana. Evidently, Dulles didnt know
    that the Cubans had already done so, and effectively hidden the
    transaction for precisely the reason that he wished to coerce and
    expose such an act.7
    As the Czech documents detail, this military tie intensified
    in 1960 with expanded requests from the PSP head, Blas Roca,
    and a visit to Czechoslovakia by Cubas defense minister, Ral

    349

    Castro, whom Prague had learned was more ideologically attuned


    to communism than his brother, together with Antonio Nunez
    Jimenez, the powerful figure in charge of Cubas agricultural
    reform agency (INRA). Besides further Havanas prospects for
    buying Soviet-bloc arms, the documents show, the Cuban visitors
    used visits to Prague to widen and intensify their contacts with
    diplomats from other communist countries, ranging from the
    Peoples Republic of China and the Democratic Republic of
    (North) Vietnam to assorted Warsaw Pact nations who had not
    yet normalized relations and established embassies in Cuba. As
    mutual visits took place at an accelerating tempo, Prague and
    Havana exchanged embassies in the summer of 1960 and,
    within a year, they also inaugurated an airline connection via
    Czechoslovak state airlines (CSA), directly linking the island to
    the Soviet bloc by commercial aviation.
    By the end of 1960 and spring of 1961, the documents show, top
    level Cuban requestsincluding from Fidel Castro and President
    Osvaldo Dorticos through Pragues embassy in Havanasought
    an even broader military relationship to complement weapons
    and equipment being obtained from the Soviet Union, and one
    that only intensified after the Bay of Pigs.8 Though not formally
    acknowledged, this link was an open secret in Havana: Although
    Czechoslovak sources never officially admitted military aid to
    Cuba, an outside analysis noted in June 1961, it is no secret
    that a large number of Czechoslovak military advisors are present
    in Cuba and that Cuban air force pilots are receiving training in
    Czechoslovakia.9
    By mid-1961, an analysis of Czech-Cuban relations over
    the past year concluded that Pragues intensive activities on
    the island had been evident since the summer of 1960 but
    particularly vigorous since the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion.
    Czechoslovakia, it noted, seemed to have been selected by Moscow
    as its spearhead in relations not only with Cuba but with much
    of the developing, or third, world.10
    The second section of translated documents date from the time
    of the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 as well as from the
    mostly secret Soviet-Cuban crisis in November, when Fidel Castro
    and many other Cubans were incensed at Nikita Khrushchevs
    decision to withdraw nuclear missiles, taken under the duress of
    US pressure and without consulting or even alerting Havana in
    advance (and, to add further insult, agreeing to UN inspection
    of the missiles dismantling and removal on Cuban territoryan
    idea Castro resolutely rejected); and Khrushchev sent his closest
    associate, Anastas Mikoyan, who had helped broker the opening
    of ties between Moscow and Havana in February 1960, to
    mollify his disgruntled Cuban comrades.11 When the crisis erupted
    in the fall of 1962, the close Cuban-Czechoslovak relationship
    established in the preceding years still persisted; a November
    1962 comparative estimate of links to Cuba among Warsaw Pact
    countries judged that Czechoslovakia had the lions share of

    East/Central Europe trade with and various forms of assistance


    (including military) to Cuba, roughly twice as large the next
    highest (Poland and Bulgaria were more or less tied for second).12
    During the crisis Pragues ambassador in Havana, Vladimir
    Pavliek, enjoyed access to such senior figures as Foreign Minister
    Ral Roa and Carlos Rafael Rodriguez, the old PSP stalwart
    whom Castro had named to run INRA, and who had become
    a member of the inner leadership circle, who candidly vented
    negative feelings towards Khrushchevs decisions to the Czech
    envoy despite the latters inevitable loyalty towards Moscow,13 The
    following summer, a Czechoslovak official in Prague insisted to
    a fraternal (Hungarian) diplomat that Czech-Cuban relations
    Cuba did not change during the Caribbean [i.e., Cuban
    Missile] Crisis and the time following it, even amidst the biggest
    hardships.14 Pavliek also, of course, kept in close contact
    with his Soviet colleague in Havana, Ambassador Aleksandr
    Alekseyev, from whom he gleaned bits of information about the
    lengthy negotiations between Mikoyan and the Cubansand his
    Czechoslovak diplomatic colleague in Washington reported on his
    meeting (along with other Soviet-bloc envoys) with Mikoyan when
    the Soviet passed through town, meeting with JFK, at the end of
    November on his way back from Cuba to Moscow.15 More broadly,
    the dozens of ciphered cables from Pavliek (who also circulated
    with non-communist diplomats and did not shy away from
    reporting attitudes critical of the Soviet Union) printed here from
    late October-late November 1962 offer numerous fresh glimpses
    of attitudes, reactions, gossip, and events behind the Sugarcane
    Curtain that were difficult to discern or obtain from Washington.
    While Pavliek lacked the insider information on Soviet-Cuban
    exchanges available to Alekseyev, his reportsusefully compared
    with the now-available contemporaneous reports from the Polish
    and Hungarian embassies in Havana16valuably add the record
    of inter-communist communications, perceptions, and even
    emotions during those turbulent, momentous days in the Cuban
    capital. Supplementing these materials from the Czechoslovak
    Foreign Ministry files, also printed are translations of a number of
    party records, including reports during the crisis to CPCz General
    Secretary (and Czechoslovak President) Antonn Novotn;
    information on PSP leader Blas Rocas conversations in Prague
    in early November; and, most importantly for students of the
    Soviet side of the crisis, the record of Novotns 30 October 1962
    conversation with Khrushchev in Moscow (see following section).17

    Most of the Czechoslovak documents printed here were


    gathered by Oldich Tma for the National Security Archive
    in preparation for the 2002 conference in Havana to mark the
    40th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and translated by
    Linda Mastalir; only a few (e.g., the excerpt from the 30 October

    350

    Cold War International History Project Bulletin, Issue 17/18

    1962 Novotn-Khrushchev conversation) were circulated at


    the time, and none of these have previously been printed. They
    were supplemented by documents gathered by James Hershberg
    during a 2009 visit to the Czech National Archives in Prague,
    and translated for this issue of the $8*)1 #VMMFUJO by Adolf
    Kotlik.J.H.

    We Were Truly on the Verge of War


    A Conversation with Nikita Khrushchev, 30 October 1962

    &

    In many respects, this short record is one of the sensational


    documents to emerge from the communist worlds archives
    on Cold War history since the collapse of the Soviet bloc,
    and then the Soviet Union, a little more than two decades
    ago. Almost tantamount to an oral history interview of
    Khrushchev while the crisis was still fresh (and even still in
    progress, to some extent), his exposition to Novotn, while
    obviously self-serving, foreshadows the recollections of the
    crisis he would dictate into a tape-recorder at his dacha
    after being ousted from power in 1964and his derisive
    view of Castros willingness to provoke global thermonuclear
    war for the sake of revolution would be excised due to its
    sensitivity from the first two volumes of Khrushchevs memoirs
    that were smuggled out of the USSR and published in the
    West,ISVTIDIFW3FNFNCFST (1970) and Khrushchev
    3FNFNCFSTF-BTU5FTUBNFOU (1974)and only appear
    nearly two decades later, in ,ISVTIDIFW3FNFNCFSTF
    (MBTOPTU5BQFT (1990). Here, contemporaneously and
    vividly, we can hear Khrushchevs inimitable voice, strongly
    asserting the rectitude of his conductand to a lesser comrade
    of a subservient satellite in no position to contradict him
    and blasting, even mocking, those who disagreed with him,
    yet also, clearly, still shaken by how close he and Kennedy had
    come only days earlier to going over the brink, and plunging
    their nations, and the world, into the nuclear abyss, dooming
    millions. This document was found by Oldrich Tuma in the
    CPCz Central Committee records in Prague and circulated
    to participants at the October 2002 conference (principally
    organized by the National Security Archive) in Havana to
    mark the 40th anniversary of the missile crisis, but has never
    before been published.J.H.

    d. Note: In the days after agreeing to withdraw Soviet


    missiles from Cuba, Nikita Khrushchev welcomed a
    series of high-ranking communist visitors to Moscow for
    the annual commemorations of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.
    One such guest was the General Secretary of the Czechoslovak
    Communist Party (CPCz) and President of Czechoslovakia ,
    Antonn Novotn, who came to the Kremlin on Tuesday, 30
    October 1962, for a bilateral conversation with the Soviet
    leader.1 As revealed by the detailed Czechoslovak record of their
    talk excerpted below, Khrushchev used exceptionally candid language to defend his handling of the superpower confrontation,
    what he described as six days which shook the world. While well
    aware that many fellow communists (including the Chinese and
    Cubans) regarded his agreement under pressure from US President
    John F. Kennedy to remove the missiles as a humiliating surrender
    to the imperialists, Khrushchev stoutly defended his action as not
    only a necessary measure to avoid a catastrophic nuclear war,
    but actually a victory, since, he claimed, the Soviet missiles had
    attained their objectivesafeguarding the survival of the Cuban
    revolution. For the leader of that revolution, Fidel Castro, who
    had already indicated his displeasure with Moscows concession to
    the Americans, Khrushchev bluntly criticized him for failing to
    comprehend the true nature of war in the thermonuclear age, and
    being so blindedby revolutionary passion, that at the height
    of the crisis, he had suggested in a letter to Khrushchev that the
    Soviets should be the first to use nuclear weapons, striking the
    United States should it attack Cuba, even though this would
    lead promptly to a global incineration.2 Explaining why he had
    to act quicklyCastro and the Cubans were already grumbling
    about his failure to consult or even notify them prior to agreeing
    to Kennedys demands on 28 OctoberKhrushchev admitted
    feeling completely aghast at Castros approach. Nor was he
    impressed by Castros complaint that the Kennedys pledge not to
    invade Cuba was worthless because the imperialists could not be
    trusted; after all, he admitted frankly, the imperialists couldnt
    trust them eitherSoviet foreign minister Andrei Gromyko had
    told JFK to his face that there were no atomic missiles in Cuba,
    And he was lying. And how! And that was the right thing to do,
    he had orders from the party. (The Soviet also had only scorn for
    the belligerent Chinese, mocking Mao Zedongs glib dictum that
    imperialism was a paper tiger with the observation that it in
    fact was a tiger that was not only not paper but can give you a
    nice bite in the backside.)

    no reference to his telegram to the defense ministers. Translated for

    Polish-Soviet Exchanges on Cuba, 1963-1965

    n the following excerpts, drawn from Polish archival records


    translated by Margaret K. Gnoinska, Polish communist leader Wladyslaw Gomuka and Soviet leaders discussed various
    issues related to Cuba during their meetings. Cuban sugar was
    discussed during a conversation between Gomuka and Nikita

    Soviet purchases of the commodity and aid to Havana to increase
    production. Interestingly, the Pole seems far more skeptical than
    the Soviet about Cubas capacity to meet promised sales figures. A
    year earlier, Khrushchev had written Gomuka regarding a shift

    a rise on global markets.The May 1963 letter is included here.
    Both documents make clear that buying Cuban sugar, thereby
    replacing the missing American buyer that had vanished due to
    the US economic embargo, constituted an ideological obligation,
    to support a threatened fraternal country, rather than merely an
    economic or trade matter.
    Excerpts from two summits in 1965, after Khrushchevs ouster
    in October 1964, deal with other issuesmost visibly the SinoSoviet split, especially against the background of the escalation
    in Vietnam. In April in Warsaw, the new general secretary of
    the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), Leonid I.
    Brezhnev, and Soviet prime minister Alexei N. Kosygintwo of
    the leaders of the group that had toppled Khrushchevreferred
    to the recent visit to Moscow of Cuban defense minister Ral
    Castro, and both were pleased to note a recent precipitous decline
    in Sino-Cuban relations.1 And that October, at a Belarussian
    forest retreat, Brezhnev happily cited the further isolation of the
    Chineseto the point that, in this zero-sum contest for support
    within the communist world, Fidel Castros trust in Moscow had
    so greatly improved that even his unpleasant memories of SovietCuban discord during the missile crisis exactly three years earlier
    had receded.2 As events would show, that assessment of mutual
    trust was somewhat premature.J.H.

    Gomulka on the Cuban Missile Crisis and the


    Danger of War

    &

    d. note: On 19 November 1962, with the memory of


    the Cuban Missile Crisis still fresh (and Kremlin emissary Anastas Mikoyan still negotiating its outcome with
    Fidel Castro), Polish communist leader Wadysaw Gomuka
    conversed with David Astor, the long-time editor1 of the London
    newspaper 5IF 0CTFSWFS. Much of the conversation concerned
    efforts for nuclear disarmament (and Chinas evident race to
    acquire the atom bomb), but the talk also touched on the recent
    US-Soviet showdown over Cuba. In this excerpttaken from a
    Russian-language record found by Vladislav M. Zubok in the
    former Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) archives
    in Moscow2the General Secretary of the Polish United Workers
    Party, who had come to power amid a surge of nationalism in six
    years earlier, reflected on the meaning of the recent crisis for the
    danger of nuclear war. Not surprisingly, as a loyal Warsaw Pact
    ally, Gomuka praised Nikita Khrushchev for making the main
    contribution to preserving peace and denied the Soviet leader
    had been scared or forced to retreat under pressure.3 Yet,
    observing that the world was but one careless step, one careless
    action [from] the abyss of war, Gomuka also commended US
    President John F. Kennedy for his sensible and moderate actions,
    restraining those military commanders eager to use Americas
    military advantage to destroy the Soviet Union. Ultimately, while
    cautioning that cold war tensions could still erupt into violent
    clashes elsewhere in the world (e.g., Berlin), he optimistically and,
    it turned out, prophetically observed that the frightening recent
    brush with disaster could prompt leaders of both superpowers to
    move toward dtente.J.H.

    was about the USSR relations with the GDR. Firstly, comrade
    [Khrushchev] started with simple information from our delegation about the visit which comrade Walter Ulbricht is going to
    do in the USSR on 31 October. He visited [Moscow] for an
    economic delegation of the GDR, led by himself, to be received
    for consultation by the Soviet comrades, starting from 24 October

     Referring to the economic situation of the GDR,
    comrade N. S. Khrushchev said that the GDR achieved a fair
    proportion between the labor productivity growth and the wage
    growth, for the first time in this year. Until this year, the wages
    grew faster than the labor productivity, [situation] which gave no
    possibility for the socialist accumulation to be achieved. The state
    plans were drawn up so that deficits were foreseen from the beginning.<.BOVTDSJQUDPNNFOU>v[ery] i[mportant]
    The practice of comrades from GDR was also wrong. Once
    they develop such plans, they came for consultation in the Soviet

    Lately, however, the Soviet comrades showed to the comrades
    from the GDR that it creates an abnormal situation; the Soviet
    people fought against Germany, they defeated and helped the
    German people for establishing the bases of socialist construction,
    but the Soviet peoples standard of living was lower than the GDR
    peoples standard of living. In addition, all the Soviet people must
    give economic aid to the German people <.BOVTDSJQU DPN

    The CC BCP Secretariat approves the proposal that Comrade

    The American Embassy is exerting pressure, using its military circles, to bind Brazil stronger to American plans as well as
    putting pressure on the government. Military dispositive gave
    resistance to various intrigues, so the government reacts more
    freely to the situation. [Brazilian President Joo] Goulart is preparing his response to Kennedy for today or tomorrow, in which
    he will stress his beliefs in the principles of self-determination and
    non-intervention. Santiago [Dantas] is absolutely convinced that
    there will be no invasion, while Goulart is a pessimist.

    Konrad Adenauer and the Cuban Missile Crisis


    West German Documents

    &

    access agency, the exchange of mutual non-aggression declarations and the establishment of FRG-GDR technical commissions.
    Somehow the proposals leaked to the German press, leading
    Secretary of State Dean Rusk to protest the serious breach of confidence. Hurt by the accusation, Adenauer withdrew his longstanding confidante and ambassador to Washington, Wilhelm Grewe.
    Relations went from cool to icy when the chancellor publicly distanced himself from Washingtons negotiation package at a press
    conference in May. By time the missile crisis erupted in October,
    Adenauers trust in the United States had been severely shaken.4
    The missile crisis spurred a momentary warming in the
    uneasy Adenauer-Kennedy relationship. Unlike other European
    allies, Adenauer backed Kennedys staunch attitude during the crisis wholeheartedly, a fact that did not go unnoticed in Washington.
    If anything he advocated an even harder line vis--vis Castro
    repeatedly advocating aerial attacks, invasion, and the fostering of
    unrest inside Cuba. Having looked the other way for years as amity
    blossomed between the East German communists and Castro,
    Bonn demonstrated its hardline attitude towards Castro when
    Cuba formally recognized the GDR in January 1963. Applying
    the so-called Hallstein non-recognition doctrine, Bonn broke off all
    relations with the Castro regime, even rejecting Havanas appeals
    to retain some limited trade or consular mission in Hamburg.5
    But worries about the United States soon resurfaced in
    Adenauers thinking. Press reports had suggested that Adenauer
    doubted the American assertions that all the missiles had in fact
    been removed, and in January 1963 the chancellor confided in
    French President Charles de Gaulle his incredulity at the fact
    that the Russians had managed to move the missiles to Cuba
    without being discovered. The Americans had neither realized
    the danger in time nor managed to implement on-the-ground
    inspections. The once reliable protective power could no longer
    be fully trusted.C.O.

    d. Note: Much like the other NATO allies of the United


    States, West Germany was not involved in either the origins or the resolution of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.1
    But, of course, nowhere in Europe was the immediate impact of
    Khrushchevs nuclear missile gamble felt more acutely than in
    Berlin. Ever since the Soviet premiers November 1958 ultimatum, designed to dislodge Western allied forces from the western
    sectors of the former German Reichs capital, Berlin had been the
    focus of heightened East-West tensions. Following the building
    of the Berlin Wall in August 1961 and the October stand-off
    between Soviet and American tanks at the Checkpoint Charlie
    crossing, a deceptive lull had settled over the city.2
    Yet the Berlin question (centering around Western rights
    and presence in the divided city as well as Western recognition of
    the GDR regime and the Soviet threat of a separate peace treaty
    with East Germany) remained unresolved and the survival of the
    citys western sectors hung in the balance. It was here where future
    aggressive moves on the part of the Soviet Union were expected,
    possibly later in the year. Not surprisingly, upon discovering the
    Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, the Kennedy administration
    immediately suspected that the deployment aimed at providing
    Moscow with new levers of pressure on Berlin, even that the
    Cuban action might be a precursor to another move to evict
    Western forces from the divided city.
    The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in the aftermath of
    the deepest crisis in relations between the United States and the
    Federal Republic in the Adenauer years: The aging chancellor (the
    FRGs only leader since its inception in 1949) was having difficulties connecting with the young American president. He abhorred
    the idea of starting a nuclear war over Berlin and had been
    skeptical about hardline American contingency plans to respond
    to a Soviet blockade of access routes between West Berlin and West
    Germany or an outright take-over of the city. At the same time, he
    grew critical of the Kennedy administrations search for a Berlin
    solution as part of a larger effort at dtente. Negotiations led by the
    US ambassador to Moscow, Llewellyn E. Thompson, for an international access agency for Berlin that could settle the thorny Allied
    access problem conjured up old fears of a US-Soviet deal over
    German heads. An international agency that included German
    Democratic Republic representatives would only further legitimize
    the regime of East Berlins Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED)
    and threaten West Berlins longer-term viability as a free city.3
    In April 1962, Washington had informed Bonn on short
    notice that it planned to propose to Moscow the creation of an

    Cable from Federal Republic of Germany

    The interview with Ch Guevara was part of a group of interviews
    with Cuban leaders (Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, Raul Roa, and the
    Ch Guevara) for which I made a request to the Press Office of the

    Cuban Foreign Ministry just after my arrival (the first attachment


    is a copy of my working plan presented to the Foreign Ministry).
    The interviews should be structured to cover the whole situation:
    the defense of Cuba from the possibility of an aggression (Raul
    Castro); the international situation related to Cuba; the problem
    of Catholics (Fidel Castro); economic development (Ch Guevara);
    and international relations of Cuba, especially with Latin America
    (Raul Roa). As is clear, I exaggerated with my requests because I knew
    I would have got just some. And thats what happened: I had only
    the interview with Che Guevara, in which I inquired about almost
    all the other topics for the interviews I didnt get. A written request
    (second attachment) preceded this interview, with all the questions
    and some notes - written by me - for the newspaper I work for and
    for a biography. The request was made on the 21st of September; the
    interview was given, more or less, one week later. It seems to me that,
    before giving the interview the Ch asked some information about me
    from the Cuban Institute of friendship with people and to the Foreign
    Ministry. The conversation took place, as i said in the published text,
    at the behest of the interviewee from 1.30 to 4.00 in the morning
    (so in conditions, at least for me, not ideal). There was, other than
    me and the interviewee, a young escort of the Institute of Friendship
    that didnt want to leave the office, I believe to show off in front off
    a Cuban leader. I made a weak attempt to make him go away, then
    he remained. It seemed to me that the presence of the young boy was
    damaging for the course of the interview, because Guevara was giving,
    sometimes, laconic answers, not thorough and motivated. After some
    pleasantry the conversation started with a personal note. I told to
    Guevara that I was particularly attached to him because two years
    before during a rally at which he spoke, I met a Cuban girl that now
    is my wife. That note helped to make the conversation more familiar.

    was forced to sell at international prices but forced, instead,


    to buy at the prices imposed by the United States. Everything
    here was controlled by the USA, mainly the banks, the means
    of transport, etc..., the biggest purchaser of our sugar.
    The US brought in their enterprises with advanced technology. We found ourselves, upon nationalizing the means
    of production, facing the problem of guaranteeing their
    continued operation and, so, of having a base of spare parts
    that usually socialist countries dont have. The same is true
    for raw materials: from the socialist countries we can import
    only similar products. Despite these difficulties we managed
    to guarantee the yearly growth of industrial production, if
    you dont consider the sugar sector, of 7%.
    We can now lay the foundation for the spread of
    industrialization and not limit ourselves to develop what
    already exists.
    At the end of the next four-year-period well gain a big
    metallurgic basis and i believe that well be able to maintain the rate of growth at the [rate of ] 7%. 0O UIF PUIFS

    With agriculture the situation is more difficult: we suffered damages because of the drought that hit our country
    in the strongest measure ever registered in the last 40 years.
    I have to say that some mistakes in the organization of the
    agricultural production have been made. But, today we can
    be sure that even in this sector there is now constant growth.

    achieved in the four years since our revolution have been
    preserved despite the freeze. The most serious problem with
    which Fidel, me and the all the other men of the Sierra, had
    to face right after the victory was the complete dependence
    of our economy on the United States. Cuba, when we took
    it, wasnt a underdeveloped country but a badly developed
    county: the monoculture of sugar, as its known, and of
    a few other products was the distinguishing mark of our
    economy, where backwardness of some sectors and high
    technical standards in others were coexisting. Other than the
    monoculture, everything else was for local market only. Cuba

    DE LIPSIS: At your conference, in which I participated in


    two years ago, I remember you saying that Cuba shouldnt
    be considered an underdeveloped country but a badly
    developed country due to monoculture. Were you able to
    change this situation?
    GUEVARA: No, the monoculture aspect of our economy has
    still not changed, but its changing: we need the sugar, the
    coffee, and tobacco to provide us the currency fund.

    The relations between Cuba and Italy could be much improved. All
    the more because your country, having an advanced industrial system, could replace, for some items, the United States.
    Italy has many products that for us are really interesting,
    and already some Italian enterprises came forward, like the
    Oronzio di Nora company from whom we bought completely
    equipped factories. We are ready to buy whatever we need, its
    up to Italy having a similar interest.

    with so much power because we were in need, right away,
    of experts and of solid system. But things didnt go as we
    expected, they were accumulating offices, centralizing the
    power, and bureaucratizing the relations with the masses. At
    one point we realized that even the statistics that were given
    to us about the production in the different provinces were
    wrong, and we ended up losing control of the situation: mistakes both in agriculture and industry were accumulating.
    So, when we realized that things were not working right, we
    looked at ourselves and faced a problem: Comrade X summons the workers so that at 6 in the morning they go to volunteer work. At six in the morning, all the workers are there
    but not comrade X. He shows up at ten in a government car;
    he checks the number of those present, and leaves. Someone
    protests, an inquiry is opened and is found out that comrade
    X lives in a luxury apartment, property of a rich Cuban
    exiled to the US. The Committee of the Party approves his
    expropriation request, because his home is unsafe.

    In UO 41/62 a delivery of 12 missile motorboats to
    Cuba is noted. It can now be established with certainty that
    these boats have been delivered from the BALTIC SEA area.
    The boats were carefully covered. It has hitherto been established that the boats were build at the PETROVSKIJ shipyard
    in Leningrad at a fairly limited pace.
    It is worth noting, that CUBA is the first country outside of
    the Soviet Union, which have received this type of boats. Before,
    the SOVIET UNION, Northern Fleet, delivered patrol-craft
    of the KRONSTADT-class and MTBs of the P-6 classw11

    The Democrat, Friday 9 November 1962


    First free interview from Cuba
    Deputy Foreign Minister state the views of the Castrogovernment
    )"7"/" VSTEBZ DPSSFTQPOEFOUPGThe Democrat +SHFO
    &1FUFSTFO
    As the very first journalist [in Cuba] since the outbreak of
    the Cuban crisis, I have been received by a member of the
    Cuban government, the 1stt Deputy Foreign Minister Dr.
    Pelegria Torras, a 49-year old former university professor.
    The prerequisite for the talk was that the statements of Dr.

    Documents on Raul Castros Visit to Eastern Europe,


    and Cuban-East European Contacts, March-May 1965:
    Records from the Polish, Bulgarian, and Czech Archives

    &

    d. Note: In March-April 1965, Cuban Defense


    Minister Ral Modesto Castro visited the Soviet
    Union and several of the Kremlins Warsaw Pact
    allies in Eastern Europe. The journey came at a sensitive
    moment in both the communist world (and in Cubas relations with it) and in the broader Cold War. In Moscow, it
    was still a time of transition following the October 1964
    overthrow of Nikita Khrushchev, and this was the most
    senior Cuban figure to come to meet the new leadership
    since then.1 *U XBT BMTP B NPNFOU PG JODSFBTJOH UFOTJPO JO
