Yugoslav Correspondent Branko Bogunovic, who sent out the story of the exodus, wrote: "The official explanation is that the Soviet experts are leaving after the expiration of their contracts.

...concrete building in downtown Havana, the select inner ring of Fidel Castro's chaotic dictatorship this week celebrates its first anniversary in power. The building is not the national palace or the long-deserted Congress, but the tightly guarded headquarters of the National Institute of Agrarian Reform (INRA). Yugoslav Theoretician Milovan Djilas once observed that the first duty of any Communist revolutionary is to destroy the political force that brought him to power and replace it with an enormous, patronage-rich bureaucracy. Castro has quietly smashed his own July 26 movement, populated by moderates, and handed to INRA...
