A year is a long time. You can start a friendship, become BFFs and end it – all in a matter of one year. How? Listen to Episode 4 in which we dissect the very unlikely and until now undisclosed friendship between Cuba and Czechoslovakia during the Cold War.

Dr. Jan Koura – Assistant professor at the World History department at Charles University in Prague explains that there was the obvious conflict between the East and the West, but also a less visible and unexpected competition among countries from the same Cold War camp.
