Sergei Khrushchev claimed in the book about his father that the soviets had 
abandoned that policy and sought changes through electoral means. He states 
that this was quite a controversial change in policy that his father 
implemented. I have read that the CPUSA was also interested in change 
through the same means. This seems very different in my mind from what the 
U.S. Government has in mind for Cuba.
