Fidel Castro Did It, Too
In the classic supreme leader fashion, Castro was also one to try and erase his ex-friends from history. If someone close to him went against his wishes or ran off, Castro would put in measures to make sure that it was like they weren't even there in the first place... He did it seamlessly, too.
Carlos Franqui
The man in the middle is Carlos Franqui. He was part of Castro's crew and in his close circle. At some point, he abandoned the regime. Castro exiled him to Italy, where he lived for the rest of his life. Even though Franqui played a large role in Castro's life, Castro made sure it was like he was never there.
