The Cuban Missile Crisis had a significant impact on Russia, highlighting the vulnerabilities of the Soviet Union in the face of U.S. military power. The crisis forced the Soviet leadership to reconsider its foreign policy and military strategies, leading to a greater focus on nuclear deterrence and arms control. Additionally, the resolution of the crisis, which involved the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba, contributed to a perception of weakness that influenced subsequent Soviet actions and policies during the Cold War. Overall, it marked a pivotal moment in U.S.-Soviet relations and shaped the geopolitical landscape for years to come.

What did Soviets do during Cuban missile crisis?
He wasn't able to do much. The Russians were in charge of the missiles on Cuba and not Castro, so it was up to them to respond to JFK.
Why did the US feel it was okay to place missiles in Turkey but it was not okay for Russia to place missiles on Cuban ground?
We felt it was okay because we are who we are. A global power who feels it is acceptable to do whatever we feel like in the pursuit of "freedom". The missiles in Turkey were obsolete before the Cuban Missile Crisis began and President Kennedy had directed that they be removed. However the bureaucracy had not done that, creating the opportunity for the unflattering comparison. It is a matter of perspective and point of view. The Soviets would object to missiles in western Europe or in Turkey (first generation nuclear missiles placed there in 1949) as a provocation (much like the way current Russian leadership views the placement of missile defense technology in Poland & Czech Republic). Our policies in the post-WWII period were determined by the Truman Doctrine to contain communist expansion in Europe, but the Caribbean is our back yard, governed by our interests and the Monroe Doctrine. The placement of missiles in Cuba (after a failed attempt to overthrow Castro) was a surprise move, beyond what we would expect the Soviets to do in eastern Europe.
Why was the U.S so worried about the Soviet Union's missiles in Cuba?
The presence of Soviet Missiles on Cuba was a problem at the time because Cuba is only a few hundred miles from the US Coast, easily within reach. However, at the time the US had no Missiles that could reach the Soviet Union, so they could fire at us and we couldn't fire back.

How was geography important during the Cuban missile crisis?
Cuba is very close to Florida. Any missile attack against the US that is launched from Cuba would arrive very rapidly and would allow very little time to deploy any anti-missile defenses. Hence, an attack coming from Cuba is potentially much more dangerous than an attack coming from Russia, which is very far from the US (not counting the proximity of Siberia to Alaska, which is of less strategic importance).

The United States currently owns 9,600 nuclear weapons, while Russia currently owns 16,800. But Russia actually always had more nuclear weapons than the United States. Russia was lacking in nuclear warheads from beginning of time to 1975. For various reasons, the USSR (and now Russia) have pretty much always had more ICBM weapons than the US, while the US maintained a larger stockpile of gravity bombs, SLBMs, and cruise missiles. Currently, as nuclear-tipped cruise missiles were forbidden under the START I treaty, only bombs, ICBMs, and SLBMs are in existence, with the number of 'usable' weapons varying over time.
