The USSR -- which had agents in [[Cuba]] since the arrival of [[Fabio Grobart]], who arrived in the 1920s and was Stalin's man when the Moscow loyal Cuban communist party was founded a few years afterwards -- perceived that it was in their interest to support the Castro regime.  Expelled by the democratically elected Prio government (1948-1852) Grobart returned to Cuba in early 1959 at the request of that government and in later years [[Raul Castro]] would refer to him as El Maestro, the master. The Castro government, allowed the USSR to secretly place nuclear missiles on their island. The crisis lasted for months afterwards, the "Thirteen Days" of October 15-28 was the most intense period of the crisis.<ref>Robert F. Kennedy - Thirteen Days</ref>
