The new issue of "History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman" is dedicated to the Cuban Missile Crisis - those terrible days in October 1962, when, due to Khrushchev's desire to place missiles with nuclear warheads in Cuba, the confrontation between the USSR and the USA almost led to a nuclear war. How did the Caribbean Crisis arise and develop, and, more importantly, how did you manage to make sure that the confrontation did not end with nuclear strikes?
