As the photograph was taken on November 5, 1962, it corresponds with the days in which the Soviet Union dismantled and sent back the missiles it had in Cuba, which originated the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The Missile Crisis in Cuba was a conflict between the United States, the Soviet Union and Cuba in October 1962, generated as a result of the discovery by the United States of Soviet bases of medium-range nuclear missiles in Cuban territory.

The crisis covered the period between the discovery of the Soviet medium-range ballistic missile R-12 and R-14 (October 15, 1962) until the announcement of its dismantling and transfer back to the Soviet Union (October 28, 1962).
