What did Khrushchev gain from the Cuban missile crisis?

politically Kennedy as he gained much support from the public for the results whilst Krushchev was greatly criticized by the USSR and China. However, realistically Krushchev appeared to have come out on top. Not only did he ensure the removal of missiles in Turkey but he also guaranteed the success of the communist government in Cuba by ensuring America would never invade it. Both of these point directly opposed Kennedy's initial aim of unconditional withdrawal and the desire to keep communism out of US spheres of influence.
