cuba was then called the unsinkable aircraft carrier of the soviet union. so, let's not prevaricate . of course, geopolitics was at the heart of that soviet-cuban alliance. but was there economics in this after all or not? or, as we began to say angrily at the end of the soviet era, we simply fed cuba. for the cubans, of course, there was economics. on the other hand, this also means that cuba, to some extent, can. to help the soviet union, well, they thought less about it, most likely yes, the ussr helped cuba a lot, undoubtedly, then how we lived in the eighties was a very good time, the seventies and eighties were the happiest times, yes, if only it were like that today, today tourists at resorts often don’t even imagine this, they have a beach here, entertainment is a very good vacation, even despite the flight distance, many are trying to return here. again again, because

it’s beautiful, but in a parallel cuban life itself. morning, beautiful havana morning. cuban pensioners do exercises. only these are such lean people, many of these pensioners are not only out of love for physical exercise. let's check out the local distributor stores. but there’s nothing here, a local shop, but empty. although there is theoretically a schedule according to which meat cards should be issued, there is no meat. how can this be supposed to be a tropical paradise ? in theory, with such and such soils and such and such a climate in cuba, you can harvest, well, not three, but two harvests a year, instead we go to another bo, as they call it here, yes , yes, ration cards, milk only with a doctor's prescription, soap, unfortunately no. sugar

yes everywhere, queues, queues, queues , in fact, in cuban and spanish the word buy, as in our soviet times, was replaced by get, let’s go to the gas station, first until january of this year you had to stand in one line and get permission to refuel only then it will actually refuel according to the limit, so three operations later, i can refuel.

so, many have heard about the cuban kingdom of distorting mirrors in the economy; fortunately, our world cards were earned in cuba, but as of last year, at the atm you filmed at the official commercial rate of 110 ps per dollar, and on the black market it was 2 ps higher, 273, and there is a very, very official rate. fantasy is only 24, meanwhile, subsidy prices were calculated based on it until january 24 and for gasoline, even for foreigners, which of course was absurd and is still in distributors, well , these prices are just super super super subsidized, 7 pesos for rice, for a pound, and now let's look at it through the eyes of a peasant, take these shafts, they are especially popular in the east of the cube, so... them

therefore, they use that with an average salary of 36 dollars at the official rate or 14 at the unofficial rate, the average cuban cannot even afford gasoline, if it exists at all, and what kind of farmer will sell the state’s crops at such prices, what we called, everything has come to a standstill in cuba , how the cubans will return the tone to their economy , of course, is their business, but firstly, we have accustomed cuba to all this, and secondly, 50 years ago... brezhnev visited here secretary general, but as we have already consciously said, brezhnev is also a manager, because in the ussr they were thinking about how to make cuba not only an expensive project, and in the second part of our film about what else can be corrected based on, yes, yes, oddly enough, the brezhnev model, in alfabank, the best program . for business,

work, it's not easy to find work, but your place. this is the cemetery in santiago de cuba, where josey marti is buried, and now fidelcastro, that’s the simple inscription, fidel and glyba.

people, it is symbolic in this sense to award the general secretary of the cpsu central committee with the order of hase marti. pay attention to the rather sad expression on andrei gromyka’s face. then he began to guess about his boss’s passion for awards, a boss who, unfortunately, would soon give up, but in cuba in ’74 , brezhnev was still quite cheerful, he even smoked. by the way, at the negotiations in the central committee building, you see, brezhnev is clearly looking for something, like lighter. and now there is an exchange of glances like lightning between fidel and his assistant, and in a moment the commandant will help light a cigarette for the soviet general secretary. but in general he prepared for those negotiations very thoroughly. in particular. a new facility was prepared just in time for brezhnevo's visit. just south of havana, the construction

of a large educational complex for 4,500 girls and boys was recently completed, this school was named after lenin. the fact is that the best schools in cuba, the best schools, were the schools that were in one way or another connected with the americans. havana military academy. rustom academy. and they were. schools where only rich children went, and here a school is opening, which is much better in scale than all these former american schools, where only rich young people went, fidel personally supervised this free school for talented youth. to the point that he donated the fish he caught to the school museum of natural history, and before arriving here brezhnevo, as

they say, stood in the place where it is now they put me, this is where the famous drop falls on it, because of this drop the architect was called, that if tomorrow it drops on brezhnevo, leonid ilyevich reports that the soviet trade unions are donating equipment for classrooms and laboratories to the school. let's return to that photo, so touching of course. he shakes my hand, says hello, my hands were cold, cold, simply frozen, because on january 31st we have severe cold in cuba, and his hands were so warm, warm. in that soviet documentary there is the moment when brezhnev communicates with a student, but you can’t hear what he says: what? he put his hand on his head and said, “you look like one of mine.” the then brezhnev really knew how to win people over; the cubans were grateful to the soviet union for

the massive help. long live the indestructible friendship between cuba and the soviet union. homeland or death? we will win, but they wanted to win by making cuba not only an expensive project for the ussr. or no one thought about it then. no, after all, no, they still thought, they still thought. vaccine plant, yes, this is one of the leading hospitals in cuba, however, about how

the medical care system is organized here, some other time, now about one, well, slightly parallel topic, which means i’m not right now i’ll take off my clothes, but believe me, i have the same smallpox vaccine on my shoulder as most of those over 40, i was born in havana, so i was vaccinated here, but believe me, most of you have 80 percent -90, this vaccine is... cuban-made, if you count not in money, in jobs, and in cuba in russia, then such a division of labor is something that needed to be preserved, preserved, but once i was in cuba when fideli castre the younger was alive, the son of the commandant, a graduate of our university, he supervised science in the cuban state council, it was he who then took me to the vaccine plant in the west of havana and complained that in modern times we managed to force the cubans with their vaccines to participate in all sorts of tenders.

soviet, but today our deliveries went to the same plant again, which is here is being built, stan 250 is being built here, many of our compatriots, they looked at the cup with skeksus at the end of the soviet era, well, we feed there, we invest money, now you , with your own eyes as a specialist of a completely new russia, looked at this whole thing, it is possible to have with anyway, the most important thing in all this is that people have a desire.

another thing is that this plant will never reach its designed capacity, because there is such a shortage of electricity in cuba. on your screens is the cuban analogue of the city of pripyat at chernobyl nuclear power plant, only here the disaster was political, i drive up to a 90% completed by soviet specialists, but abandoned nuclear power plant. towards the local guajiro, a peasant, there would be no problems with electricity, no, no, there would be no blackouts like

now, and right next to that same oil refinery. now.

the soviet union did not supply much oil to cuba. as part of the soviet quota, oil came here from venezuela, it was cheaper. in my turn, the soviet union filled the venezuelan quota in europe. it’s clear that it would n’t work like that now, but in general it’s interesting that in the soviet years a very good business scheme was developed. but this is in any country, in any economic system, economic system.

soviet combines have proven themselves well on the cane plantations of cuba. here it is, once the main wealth of cuba - sugar cane. but you can’t call a cube a sugar bowl anymore. those quotas that were for cuban sugar in the usa have long been canceled, their no one will restore, they are occupied by the same brazilians, for example, but as for the times of the socialist camp, then in comparison with them, after the collapse of the socialist camp... what

was done correctly under brezhnev? on february 1, the main celebrations seemed to spread from the capital of the republic, govana, to santiago. and i think that here too... brezhny’s team acted very fashionably, not to come to santiago de cuba, it was simply impossible for leonidavich, where the cuban revolution was born, show the moncada barracks, mancada barracks, july 26, 1953 they were stormed by a handful of brave men who opposed them.

brezhnev with fidel castro, by the way, what did brezhnev answer to fidel? answering fidel’s questions, leonid ilyich shares his memories of the terrible years of the great patriotic war, of the battles for novorossiysk. it was a conversation between people who have experienced and felt a lot, who know what war is. and

we, like brezhiev, will return to havana, to the school named after lenin. two football fields, two baseball fields. the olympic swimming pool is simply a city of the future. city of the future. something like a swimming pool, now, to unfortunately, only on the layout, but something. left, for example, to this school named after lenin , brezhnev gave a portrait of lenin and still animatedly showed how the hands on the kremlin chimes go, we found that picture too. a lot of things have simply changed radically since those times, but the time that leonid ilyich pointed out is, on the one hand, completely different, on the other hand, with regard to relations between moscow and govana, many things are inviolable.

again the question is raised that russia may the flow of russian tourists is increasing, already in our specific modern conditions , to provide certain assistance for restoration. economy of the country , they remember the soviet union very well , they believe very strongly in russia, that russia is helping, that is

, we... are with them to the end, until installation, launch, reaching the design capacity once and for all, so that it won’t be like at the end of the soviet training, well, there is no turning back, we miss you , we miss you, we believe in the russians, you know, we have always believed in the russians, and whatever one may say, this was laid down 50 years ago by brezhnev, yes, perhaps, like nowhere else in cuba, you see what are the birthmarks of that system, but you see what it was and... common sense, which it would be good not to lose at any time, well, no one has canceled geopolitics, and of course, it is she, geopolitics, that attracts everyone here, in our upcoming films from this island, about what not only the cinematic kgb did here, especially the soviet foreign counterintelligence.

let's return to the news review: in lesichansk , a search and rescue operation was completed at the site of the ukrainian strike, the ministry of emergency situations reported this. on the eve of the ukrainian armed forces, let me remind you, they fired from american system hai building with a bakery in the city center. 28 people died, 10 people were rescued from the rubble. four of the victims are in serious condition, and doctors are fighting for their lives. today is a day of mourning in the lugansk people's republic. the russian foreign ministry noted that moscow will inform international organizations about

the next act.
