The more I read, the more I'm interested in it actually. From what I've read, the Soviets didn't even consider Castro and the Cubans as a potential ally until they established themselves as a Communist State and Fidel himself made an effort to seek the help of the Soviet Union. So I assume we'll RP that we've had no contact to date.

The Soviets wanted a counterweight to the missiles in Turkey.
