Because of the Soviet's all time low popularity at the time, and by extension all of Communism, Che was immortalized by Castro by implementing a romantic version of Che as part of a propaganda campaign shortly after Che's death in Bolivia. One of the people instrumental in this campaign was French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, who himself was a Communist in bed with the KGB, having referred to Che Guevara as "the most complete human being of our time." Ion Mihai Pacepa had heard of the propaganda campaign back when he was still serving the Romanian communist party.<ref>[http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=33786 Who was the Real Che? by Ion Mihai Pacepa on FrontPageMag.com]</ref>
