this will be an unusual film, yes, for the eightieth anniversary of the victory in the battle of stalingrad, but an unusual one about the fact that... this is for the surroundings a little later, but you already guessed correctly that abroad, we have all these cabaret, dances, rhythms, cigars there will be cuba, it was no coincidence that we started showing the most famous cuban in volgograd. so, one more date: exactly 60 years ago, in sixty-three, fidel undertook a grand tour throughout soviet union. we then stood up in defense of the cuban revolution and gave it massive support.

stalingrad and cuba under a microscope. the co-host of today's film , nadezhda koleshova, dances so deftly to cuban rhythms on the volga embankment. now she has the floor. thank you. cuban salza in volgograd, yes, there is that here too. for more than 15 years now. that

is, open-air dancing, and here today we meet with the russian-cuban family of guimara perer. roberto enrique, ola, irina, hello. does it look like havana to you? great, yes. he's cuban, he's here came here to study in 1984, she is russian, agreed to become his wife in 1986, since then they have lived here and there, both in every sense speaking each other’s language. that is, in theory, this couple knows everything about our two countries and peoples, but even they are surprised by the following question: nadezhda. what do you know from the history of russian-cuban relations, for example, during the great patriotic war? domestic, no, on... on this issue i will frankly say that, well, no, i don’t know, but it was during the battle of stalingrad that the cubans became the first in latin america to restore the war, diplomatic relations with our

country, here you go, it was then that such iconic soviet diplomats as andrei gromyka and maxim litvinov first visited cuba, and this cuba was the first to provide us with massive assistance then. but now we are already together. do you know where? this is the moscow museum of medicine. now we will have the first example of how cuba helped us during the great patriotic war. as you may have already guessed, this is a drill. and here it is with the bormashin, an x-ray. and here there is more microscopes, all this is from the forties , all this came to the soviet union as part of deliveries from the uk and the usa. what does cuba also have to do with this, you ask? but look. we are in havana, in cuba, from where those same microscopes went to the soviet union, well, more precisely, the cubans, american microscopes, bought with their own money and sent to the soviet union as a gift, most of the parcels

came to our country from cuba during the battle of stalingrad, here in moscow. we will exchange impressions and come to conclusions. is waiting for us there are indeed several amazing stories about, for example, why the cubans were so worried about the outcome of the battle on the volga, so far from them, why they were grateful to the red army and why we can be grateful to them. for this film, an opportunity to talk about the fact that at all times between russia and cuba there was some kind of, if you like, mystical connection, although what does it mean in all times, well, of course, our era, the new era on... it’s easier for us it is most correct to count through fidel. so,

handsome volgograd arena stadium, he was built for the home fifa world cup in 2018, but stands, as they say, in a sacred place. previously, there was a central stadium here in the year sixty-three, fidel performed here. willow, cuba. i have in my hands a treasured ticket to a rally with the participation of fidel castro rus addressed to anatoly firsovich serkov. remember, by the way, this name is a coveted ticket, because fidel castro , of course, was a star in the eyes of the soviet people. women were in love with him, in particular my mother, she was, she was at that stadium, by the way, what did you say, what did you say, how enthusiastically they listened to him. arthur dzhaginov is responsible

for one very special repository in volgograd, which includes a record with the cuban anthem labaya mesa. the way arthur literally jumped up at the sounds of this anthem proves that he has great reverence for that part of world history when, in 1956 , fidel castro, his brother raul, kamilos hayegos, ernesto chaguivara landed from the yacht granma in the east of cuba and so on, to overthrow the dictatorship by january '59 batista to establish revolutionary power close to the united states.

havana tobacco factory, what would a story about cuba be without this? is your work monotonous here? no, of course, this is a wonderful and important job that you need to know how to do. this tradition has been going on for many years, i do it with great pleasure, because it requires not only skill, but also love. and each one has its own leaf. of course, that is, at every stage , imagination is also needed, namely, for the product to be

perfect, vladimir maikovsky, of course, knew about this cuban standard, his he wrote from here to the incomparable lilibrik. the port of havana, which is cigars, and about this whole city, the heat is unbearable, now we are just passing through the tropics. so, govan turned out to be the first eminent soviet guest. sergey, what is vedado? vedado is a district in havana, here, by the way, mayakovsky

made a mistake, because this is a masculine word, and he writes to everyone. i think that we can forgive the poet such a small inaccuracy, especially since it is much more important that he became the first soviet author who, in principle, wrote about cuba, with which so many things will happen later connected. to be completely precise, he was the first eminent soviet author who ended up in cuba, so they wrote about her anywhere else. during the era of general enthusiasm for chess back in the soviet union , the name of such a cuban as the grandmaster and world chess champion jose raul cabablanca was rumored. but this word mirador means an observation deck, a new one, very beautiful, in havana it is named after him. here it is, this is a new platform, but the truth is, the beauty is in the name of capablanca.

was built, and also here in volgograd by fidel there were many meetings with workers. this is us in the hall of military labor glory of the administration of the volgograd region. here on the walls are the names of volgograd residents, holders of gold stars , including sirkov af, a cabinetmaker at the red october plant, including him, with alexander firsovich sirkov, to whom, by the way , the great vuchetich himself created a bust, they introduced fidel in volgograd, he invited sirkov to cube here is fidel, here... sirkov, but where

exactly are they in cuba? here in cuba, sirkov was invited not only to fidel castro, but to his naval residence. and then in her autobiography it was called wake me up early. tserkov recalled fidel as, in many ways, a very strong and dexterous person. together with fidel, we swam in the bay, dived, played tag, just like the boys on the volga. since childhood, i knew how to swim well, but it was difficult to catch him. he was catching me. to be completely precise, the first volga from among the new leaders of revolutionary cuba to see was not fidel from chagivar, he came to volgograd in the sixtieth year, that is, 3 years before castre's visit. do you see

the tv tower in the background? this is a television tower on mamayev kurgan, where our television and radio company is located. let's take a look at the editorial office. this is another photo of chaga vara, definitely taken in volgograd. pay attention to these columns on this chandelier. the photo was taken. here in the tsaritsyn opera, it is now a theater, and for many years there was a palace of culture named after lenin, the red october metallurgical plant, that is, the recreation center of those same carpenters. this word “joiners” will be useful to us today again and again, but now it’s not about them, but that, oddly enough, the cuban plot in volgograd arose a decade and a half earlier. so, after all, the main topic for us today is about the great

patriotic war. and the paradox is that it is in the panorama museum of the battle of stalingrad that this is where someone i already know works. the month of september, aid is being collected in uruguay for the howling stalingrad. what kind of help was that? with money raised from charity concerts and the like, the uruguayans, as well as latin americans such as argentines and brazilians, bought for stalingrad including food packages.

the special correspondent of komsomolskaya pravda took several photographs already in the liberated victorious stalingrad the day after the end of the battle of stalingrad on february 3, on february 3 the red flag was hoisted, the banner of victory over stalingrad. based on this photograph, a whole picture was painted on that cube and sent to stalingrad, this is the square of fallen fighters, right, the square of fallen fighters from... this inscription was already made in russia in the soviet union, no, it was sent like that, then there is this havana resident signed in russian, even though we don’t know exactly what kind of govan artist sent his painting to stalingrad in 1945, but in

1962, when the volgograd woodworkers arrived here, they were offered to get acquainted not only with... the nature of cuba, but with the nightlife of havana , and this is a cabaret, or a tropicana, or a parisen, the same hero of socialist labor, serkov, wrote about what he saw like this. i was amazed and dumbfounded. in our country, this could not have happened in the worst nightmare, the public reacted quite calmly, we also tried not to gasp, not to close our eyes. and are different, strikingly, but as we have already begun to find out, there are striking coincidences in history in feelings, it is in havana, the national library of the republic

of cuba, sergei went here to sort out the files of havana newspapers, for the period not yet of the battle of stalinrad 42-4, but in the first days of the weeks after hitler’s attack on the ussr in the summer of ’41, everyone in moscow knows the former leninka, now the russian state library, but not everyone knows that it is located near moscow. her newspaper archive is located, and hope went there to look numbers of our main publication pravda for the same period. we have an interesting roll call ahead. in havana with calls to demonstrate solidarity with the soviet union and recognize the soviet union. such a special newspaper at that time as noticias the oy addressed its readers. it was a newspaper that was still old before fidelevsky compti. but this report was published by the newspaper. true, because there was already a translation of taz. the newspaper pravda then wrote that more than 40,000

people walked continuously through the streets of havana for six hours. agree, this is very visible to any country. the next such demonstration took place in havana on august 27 , 1941. the newspaper writes that 70.00 people have already gathered at the stadium. the govan newspaper noted the trail, although it reprinted it, and we also support the ango-soviet pact of struggle against hitler. but a group of young people attracted special attention; they carried a cage in which a dog was sitting, a swastika and a slogan were hung on it, behind the shower of fascist dogs. into world war ii...

but they were not the only cubans who went to world war ii. more 200 cubans fought on different fronts of the allied armies. generally speaking, cuba itself took a direct part in the war. german submarines sank many ships here, commercial, cuban, commercial cuban, matzanilla, santiago de cuba, many cuban sailors died. in memory of those sailors, this monument is in the very center of govana. true, they went. cuban ships not to the soviet union itself, but to the united states, where cuban goods were reloaded onto northern convoys. the question is, when will non-mediated, direct

govan-moscow relations emerge? so, at the height of stalingrad battle, still completely unaware of how it will turn out, cuba became the first latin american republic to restore diplomatic relations with our country during the war. and this is the same republic whose constitutional convention, literally a year and a half earlier in the fortieth century, was held. the soviet union for the war with finland, in general , made it clear that there would be no further relations with moscow. well, here’s another question: in 1941 there were no diplomatic relations between the ussr and cuba, but as we have already found out, moscow, news from there received it very quickly. this is despite the fact that the same modern technology of that time was still quite antediluvian, but there were no mobile phones in pomina then. well, and most importantly, why would they worry so much about the ussr with its such a different culture and mentality in distant cuba, and what? in fact , it was the same cuban sailors who brought strategic cuban goods to the ussr. well, that's what we'll talk about later in our film.

in the gorodishchinsky district of the volgograd region , nadezhda went to where the hottest battles on the approaches to stalingrad took place in the summer in the fall of forty-two. the positions were found using aerial photography, german aerial photography from the period of the battle of stalingrad, but the luftwaf pilots did not suspect that they were filming not only soviet, but also cuban, let's start with soviet. why is it obviously so deep, what are we looking for? and we have an artillery canopy in which the gun was located, let’s see, well, our signal is deep enough, now we’ll see, we can already hear that it’s on the iron, and the shovel

is scraping, but it’s not visible yet. visually some kind of structure, as if a wall of something, yes, not a wall, from some kind of frame, in addition to this rather large metal part, we find something else, by the way, a cartridge case from a mosin rifle, well , 7.62, it was also the one that went to the svt machine guns, to the maxim, dekterev machine guns, a curious steel case, but what about the material with which cartridge cases are usually associated? what about brass, that is, a copper-based alloy, where the main alloying component is zinc with the addition of tool, then lead, then manganese, then nickel, that is, what about non-ferrous metals? well, we saved non-ferrous metal so that the ferrous metal used in the sleeves would not it rusted, no matter how much it made it cheaper, and it didn’t do any

harm, the only thing was that such cartridges weighed. a little heavier, the saved non-ferrous metals were used for special purposes: the best medium tank of the great patriotic war , the most popular tank of the red army, the t-34. indeed, in the legendary t-34 victory tank, which today opens any victory parade, a significant part of the aluminum in the engine also came from latin america, from suriname. and there was another non-ferrous metal that was in short supply in the ussr at that time - nickel. let's go to the echo of war museum. echoes of war in the hall of military glory the volga search party has the following finds: this is most likely some kind of fastening element from the dashboard of a soviet car, but this is a part of some kind of mechanism. as we were told by employees of the forensic center of the volgograd police, among other metals, nickel was found here. during the great patriotic war, almost a third of the soviet union's needs for this metal were covered by lend-lease, well, the largest deposit of this metal in the western

hemisphere. in cuba, well, in the main volgograd the museum of the battle of stalingrad has another souvenir gift, on the one hand it dates back to the period when the great patriotic war ended long ago, in 1959 the revolution won in cuba, but it will allow us to make a bridge, still to the same great patriotic war. this is sand from the beach of playa geron, it says here that this is the first defeat of imperialism in america. so it was, the americans tried to land troops. suppress the cuban revolution, but were thrown back, and on the tenth anniversary of this victory , this souvenir bag with sand from the historical site of plaihiron - this is cuban stalingrad, the former presidential palace, now the museum of the revolution, this is where the soviet self-propelled gun was installed in havana, now we will come closer, read what is written on the memorial plaque, it is written like this,

priplairon personally. accurately hit one of the american transports from this soviet self-propelled gun, from soviet tanks and self-propelled guns the cubans were enemies in the sixties, in the forties our soldiers in stalingrad used what went through landlease through the usa, but in fact from cuba, what else one consideration, an association, now the sand from the beach was clear, but long before the sand from the playhiron beach came to the ussr.

that submarine came to attack ships that were carrying sugar, remember the govan museum of the revolution, in front of the facade of the palace there is a soviet self-propelled gun, from which fidel is believed to have shot down an american transport, here in the courtyard, and in the courtyard of the museum there is a granma yacht, this is the cuban analogue the cruiser aurora, fidel and his brave comrades landed on...
