Description: Mikoyan deposits a floral arrangement of the Soviet-style hammer and sickle dominating a globe-like decoration at the foot of the monument to José Martí in Havana's Central Park. Subsequent frames show Mikoyan as he prepares for and delivers a short speech to his Cuban audience with his personal translator at his side. The event took place minutes before Mikoyan's formal inauguration of the Soviet Expo at the Museum of Fine Arts a few blocks away.
