Эволюция Рауля Кастро
19 Dec 2014 04:09 pmАмериканские СМИ еле сдерживаются от прямого ликования. Я вчера сравнил снятие эмбарго с падением Берлинской стены, и вот пожалуйста New York Times - "a moment described by many as an equivalent to the collapse of the Berlin Wall".
А вот цитаты из самой статьи:
At a moment described by many as an equivalent to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the absence of Fidel Castro — he has said nothing about it, and has not appeared in public for months — spoke volumes. For many Cubans, it confirmed that Fidel, perhaps by his own design, is slipping further into the past, into history, at a time when his approach to the United States seems to be fading as well.
...
And yet the new Cuba that Raúl is fashioning from the old is a far cry from Fidel’s youthful revolution. Today’s Cuba seems less concerned with ideals than dollars. It is a hatchery of private enterprise and nascent inequality, where property can be bought and sold, along with cars and filet mignon. It is a proud country, tired of struggling, where the poor can see the rich rising along the way to Raúl’s stated goals: economic growth and stability.
“Raúl is a pragmatist; he is not a mindless idealist,” said Brian Latell, a former Central Intelligence Agency analyst who has written books on the Castros. “Fidel has always been the heavy anchor on change and reform.”
Да и название - The Revolution Fidel Castro Began Evolves Under His Brother - не утешает. Перестройка 2.0 Кубинская версия похоже начинается.
Хотя конечно это пока еще больше хотелки, чем реальность. Но в СССР все тоже начиналось со взаимных реверансов и хвалебных речей петушков и кукушек.
