🇨🇺 Havana nights and Moscow Days: The Development of Cuba - Russia Relations. 🇨🇺

The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, ending a long-standing special relationship with Cuba.  The fall of the wall thew Cuba into an economic tailspin in the 1990s, and it signalled many to think that Cuba was on the look out for new partners in new places.
In this special series podcast on the Cuban Development Model Dr. Bob Huish connects with Dr. Mervyn Bain  about just how deep relations run between Moscow and Havana.  Even though economic chaos ensued in the 1990s, it did not mean the end of Cuba - Russia relations.  In fact, they may be stronger today than ever before.
Dr. Bain is a senior Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Aberdeen (United Kingdom) and Head of School of Social Science. He has published various articles on Cuba’s relationship with the Soviet Union and Russia. He is also the author of four books on the relationship between Moscow and Havana with the book Moscow and Havana 1917 to the present.
