Since its inception, relations between Havana and Moscow have been subject to a number of preconceptions and assumptions. The bilateral cultural relationship is no different. However, in this meticulously researched work, focusing particularly on theater and the visual arts in two key--but very different--periods (1960 to 1963 and 1975 to 1986), Isabel Story both makes readers question Cuban-Soviet relations in general and also gives rise to a rethinking of culture within the Cuban Revolution itself.
