Especially clearly expressed on the life of Fidel Castro, the Chairman of the Communist party Gennady Zyuganov, who connects the activities of the Cuban leader with a stage, which is impossible to be silent. For him, this man symbolizes moral image, which should strive to everyone. It always amazed how one person could stand against US, who for 50 years tried to suppress a small country. Zyuganov said that he never got tired of listening to hours of speeches Castro, because they were always filled with meaning. It should be noted that Fidel was a polymath. He could hold a two-hour lecture on how best to plant certain plants or how to care for livestock. Topics for discussion were an incredible array. It should be noted that the speech of Fidel Castro, which lasted for seven hours and ten minutes, entered the Guinness Book of Records. Familiar policy tied it with his constant desire to read and comprehend something new.

Countries with which Cuba has built friendly relations, also did not stay aside and tried to honor the memory of the legendary statesman. Mexican President Enrique peña Nieto called Fidel his old friend and one of the main figures of the last century.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in his account on “Twitter” wrote that he personally spoke with Raul Castro and he was sincerely sorry that today the world said goodbye to the commander.
Fidel Castro had a premonition that soon he will have to say goodbye to all that he built so many years. In April, speaking at the close of the Congress of the Cuban Communist party, he said it could be his last speech. The politician stressed that it is important for him that after death his ideas continued to develop. By the way, the last speech of the former leader was not shown on local TV channels. State media companies were given an order not to broadcast this event.
“Soon I’ll be 90 years old. Soon I will be like everyone else. All comes to an end”, – said the leader of the Cuban revolution during their last meeting.
