Fidel Meets Yuri - 1961

I can only imagine people high up in the US Government losing their shit in 1961 when they saw these two Communist symbols hanging out together.

One was the leader of a tiny island of Cuba who snubbed his nose at the great and powerful United States from just 90 miles outside it's borders, while the other was the astronaut who beat his American contemporaries into space.

What happens in Cuba stays in Cuba.
