In this photo Fidel Castro smokes a Cuban cigar and wears 2 Rolex watches. The meeting between the revolutionist and Khrushchev was held in Kremlin, and Karl Marx’s photo was the silent witness of the meeting.
All are smiling with their hands on the table and are watching the revolutionist’s movements. Similar photos were censored then, but after the collapse of Soviet Union many chains opened, and light was shed on the dark corners.
This photo too shows the secrecy of the Soviet Union and the lack of censorship. And only after its collapse numerous documents, photos and testimonies of that time emerged.
The revolutionist did not wear the watches by chance: he checked the data of 3 time zones – Havana, Washington and Moscow.
