in 1956, three years after Stalin died, party secretary khruschev gave a secret speech to the assembled communist party congress that condemned Stalin for being a tyrant. though it was secret, news did leak out, leading many to think that a period of reform was brewing. in Hungary, reformists took the lead and staged the beginnings of a revolution. soviet policy, however, had not changed that much and the revolution was crushed.

How did the Soviet Union win Cuba as an ally?
In simple terms, the USA forced Cuba to turn to the USSR for help. The US placed an embargo on Cuba (which is still in place and completely useless now), not allowing any trade between the two countries, so Cuba was forced to look to the other superpower, the Soviet Union. The US also took Cuban assets in the United States away, not allowing the Castro government to get them back. The fact that the Cuban revolution had been led by Socialists also helped the Cuban-Soviet relations. As Fidel Castro told American journalists when asked about his friendship with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev "You leave us without petroleum, Khrushchev gave us petroleum. You do not buy our sugar, Khrushchev buys our sugar. Your leaders speak of aggression towards Cuba, Khrushchev speaks of friendship with Cuba. You took away our aeroplanes, Khrushchev lends us his aeroplanes. Khrushchev is our friend."
What did khrushchev do in support of fidel Castro?
There were Letters to Nikita Khrushchev from Fidel Castro regarding defending Cuban air space and Letters to Fidel Castro from Nikita Khrushchev advising him to remain firm against US aggression but before all this happened, Nikita Khrushchev had just made a decision that would help ensure that the lives of Fidel Castro and McGeorge Bundy, the future national security adviser of a future president, John F. Kennedy, would become deeply entwined. For thirty years neither Bundy nor any other American could have known that in the midst of Castro's successful Operation, the Kremlin was planning a covert operation to assist the Cuban army at the explicit request of the Cuban leader's brother Raul.
