Cuban students in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s - 1980s
Bortlová, Hana
In the sixties, seventies and eighties, i. e. period of close political and economic ties between Cuba and the Soviet bloc, about a thousand Cubans took advantage of the scholarship offer of the Czechoslovak government and graduated from Czech and Slovak universities (and to a much lesser extent from high schools). After returning to Cuba many of them took up leading positions in state enterprises or institutions where some of them have been active till today. Based on archival sources (mainly from the National Archives in Prague) and oral-history interviews conducted with former scholarship holders of the Czechoslovak government in Cuba in 2009, this text presents some aspects of life of Cuban students in the Czechoslovak society of that time.
