This paper examines the clashes among leftist Mexican intellectuals at the beginning of the 1970s as a consequence of the Cuban Revolution. The correspondence of Laurette Séjourné, an archeologist of Italian origin based in Mexico, provides a source for identifying the tensions generated between those who had maintained an unconditional loyalty toward die Cuban regime and those who had distanced themselves following its Sovietization. This confrontation shows that the New Left was not an ideologically homogenous group and leads to questioning the use of this category. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research applies framing theory and basic quantitative content methods to analyze the New York Times coverage of the 1959 Cuban Revolution, in order to examine assertions that New York Times stories contributed to Fidel Castro's victory. Specifically, the study analyzes datelines, bylines, types of sources and story framing in all the stories about Cuba published on the front page of the New York Times between January 1, 1957, and December 31, 1962. The findings of this research contest long-held claims that the New York Times stories, in particular those written by reporter Herbert L. Matthews, contributed to the success of the Cuban Revolution. Matthews's three-part front-page scoop in 1957 introduced Castro and the bearded Cuban revolutionaries to the world, but his stories and subsequent New York Times coverage are unlikely to have been decisive in Castro's overthrow of the Batista regime. This study argues instead that the New York Times coverage of the 1959 Cuban Revolution was written through an aspirational lens, much like the stories about other major political revolutions written by U.S. foreign correspondents, and that stories played an important inter-media agenda-setting role, as evident from the many news organizations that covered the revolution after Matthews' scoop.

Al triunfar la revolución cubana es claro que no solo debe enfrentarse a los cambios económicos y sociales a realizar. Debe enfrentarse también a la transformación de los sujetos sociales, que son quienes hacen viable el cambio en última instancia. Para ello deben cambiar las formas de la conciencia social y dentro de ellas un papel determinante lo jugará la moral. Esta deberá enfocarse hacia la sociedad que se quería construir, el comunismo. Cuáles fueron los principales medios de los que se valió la Revolución cubana para el proceso de divulgación de la moral comunista como parte de la construcción del ideal social, así como las principales características de la moral comunista difundida durante las tres primeras décadas de la revolución, será el principal punto a tratar en este artículo. When the Cuban revolution triumphs, it is clear that it must not only face the economic and social changes to be made. It must also face the transformation of social subjects, who are the ones who ultimately make change viable. For this, the forms of social conscience must change and within them a determining role will be played by morality. This should focus on the society that was wanted to build, communism. The main means used by the Cuban Revolution for the process of spreading communist morality as part of the construction of the social ideal, as well as the main characteristics of the communist morality spread during the first three decades of the revolution, will be discussed in this article.

The Second Declaration of Havana ratified on February 4, 1962 is the most important document of the socialistic stage of the Cuban Revolution. The historical analysis of this document is essential to appreciate all the peculiarity of the socialism formation in Cuba and to understand the origin of the principles of the revolutionary internationalism during the Cuban Revolution. However, investigations, which are dedicated to specifically this issue, does not present in the Russian historiography. The aim of this work is to clarify the role of the Second Declaration of Havana in the process of the socialistic ideology formation in Cuba under specific historical conditions of the first half of the 20th century and also to estimate the impact of the foreign policy of USA and VIII Consultative Meeting of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of American States (OAS), which took place in January 1962, onto the radicalization of the Cuban Revolution.

Fidel Castro, the revolutionary leader of Cuba, gave a speech on the fourth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, mainly focus- ing on how to solidify the pueblo cubano under the revolutionary flag against the U.S. intervention. This paper aims to examine the Cuban revolution stand on the view from four years after Castro has died, to prove that what Castro has mentioned during his Fourth Anniversary Speech has been accomplished, as well as compare the revolutionary movements of its neighbours like Grenada, to see why Cuba could be the only successful example of socialism in the Western Hemisphere. The paper will focus on the social changes during the post-revolution Cuba based on the scholar research of Louis A. Pérez and John Walton’s comparison article between Grenada and Cuba.

Cuba was the last country to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of Korea, doing so on February 14, 2024. Notably, however, it was the first nation in Latin America and the Caribbean to recognize Korea, preceding Brazil, which also recognized Korea in 1949. The absence of concrete evidence of the official establishment of diplomatic ties on July 12, 1949, or the subsequent cessation of these ties--likely due to de facto recognition of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea following the Cuban Revolution in 1959--necessitates a re-evaluation of the terms "establishment" and "re-establishment" in the context of renewed relations in 2024. The year 2024 also marks the 75th anniversary of Cuba's official recognition of the Republic of Korea and the commencement of diplomatic relations between the two countries. This article explores the evolution of the largely unknown relations between Cuba and Korea, which has been the focus of an in-depth investigation initiated in 2022. Some elements within this article will be presented academically for the first time, while others have appeared in previous works by the author in the Republic of Korea. The two countries, in their historical interactions, share the unique characteristic of having maintained diplomatic relations without bilateral disputes, establishing a foundation for a new phase of cooperation based on these enduring ties.
