Fidel Castro

Explanation:

Fidel Castro was the communist leader of Cuba for almost 50 years, ending in 2008. After the American's failed Bay of Pigs invasion, Castro requested Russia to place nuclear missiles in Cuba to deter any further harassment of Cuba. Russia was perfectly willing to place their missiles in Cuba because of America placing nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey.
