Mystery of the past: the strange relationship between Fidel Castro and Playboy magazine. Fidel Castro considered pornography a capitalist "scourge" However, he had an ally in the most famous female nude magazine in the world to spread his ideas and increase sympathies for the Revolution.
Playboy published two interviews with Fidel Castro: one in 1967 by Lee Lockwood and another in 1985 by Professor Jeffrey M. Elliot and Congressman Mervyn M. Dymally. Documents recently declassified by the US State Department prove that Jimmy Carter intended to eliminate the "economic blockade of Cuba" in 1981.
