IN 1963, ZOIA BARASH MOVED to Cuba from her home in the Soviet Union."We were young and Cuba was beautiful when we got here," she remembered in a recent interview.So too for Natalia Balashkova, who moved to Cuba after marrying a Cuban military officer she met in Moscow: "I knew what to expect.Cuba was building socialism.We came willingly, out of love." 1 The popular Soviet song "Cuba, My Love," from 1962, is suggestive of the attachment some Soviets citizens felt for revolutionary Cuba in the early 1960s: "Cuba, my love / Island of crimson dawns / Its song flies over the planet and rings out: / Cuba, my love!"The Cuban Revolution was, as described by Petr Vail' and Aleksandr Genis in their evocative book about the Soviet sixties, "a striking event for the Soviet person of the 1960s, a powerful, creative social revolution combined with an exotic, distant sea." 2 This romantic passion for Cuba was often accompanied by a concomitant nostalgia for an idealized Soviet past.The complex of longings underpinning the Soviet-Cuban relationship are evident in the Soviet cultural-visual, literary, cinematographic, touristic-imagination, and in the cross-cultural experience of Soviet and Cuban citizens traveling for work, education, or love.There was enthusiasm and romance between Cuban and Soviet citizens, but there was also mistrust.Both desire and anxiety are particularly evident in Soviet discourses and encounters with the gendered and racialized Cuban body, including the virile Cuban man, the consumptive pleasures of sex associated with Cuban women, and the impoverished black body believed to be in special need of Soviet assistance.Soviet understandings of the body-male and female, white and black-were fundamental to what Tony Ballantyne and Antoinette Burton, in Bodies in Contact
