Description
The initial moments of Soviet Premier Anastas Mikoyan's arrival in Havana in early February 1960. Frames 6-7 show Fidel Castro with Antonio Nuñez Jiménez, the first director of INRA (Instituto Nacional de Reformia Agraria) at his side; frames 8-9 show Ernesto "Che" Guevara and unidentified others standing beside the Soviets' official jet. Frames 10-20 show Ernesto "Che" Guevara looking expectantly at the aircraft while standing inside the airport terminal (it has apparently begun to rain). Che is surrounded by a large group of men in civilian dress, including a tall blond man with glasses (see also Prints 71, 79 [frames 27-35], 80, 83, 92, 93, 101, 102, and 106 [frames 19, 20]), as well as other military officers. Frames 21 and 22 show the Cubans huddled under the awnings of the airport terminal to escape the rain, waving enthusiastically as apparently Mikoyan descends from the plane (see also Print 65). See also Prints 29, 41, 55, 56, 57, 58, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 69, 70, 71, 72, 74, 80, 83, 92, 93, 101, 102, 106, and Contact Book VIII.
