“One of the great lies that the imperialists use concerning Central America is their attempt to impute the revolutions in this area to the Soviet Union . . . [The USSR] has had nothing whatsoever to do with Central America . . . The Soviets did not know even one of the present leaders of Nicaragua . . . during the period of revolutionary struggle. . . . The same holds true for El Salvador . . . The same goes for Guatemala. . . . We Cubans . . . have relations with the revolutionary movements. We know the revolutionary leaders in the area. I am not going to deny it.”
—Fidel Castro
