Photo exhibition "Che. Hasta siempre! »

[SergeiSK]

In the gallery "House Nashokin" opens a unique exhibition - the exhibition "Che. Hasta siempre! ». The exhibition covers the life journey of the legendary Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara - starting with the first steps and ending eternity. Who said that the 50 th anniversary of the victory of the Cuban Revolution noted only in Cuba?
The name of Che Guevara's heard everything - but as it comes to biographies, to the real facts, memory fails and refuses to stir up the story.
"Warm their hands at the sacrificial fire, which attracted millions, - employment for our time is quite natural"
As a result, about Che in our country know much except that admirers and ardent followers (if not yet extinct), and provide a living legend a real person can, perhaps, one. It is not surprising.
Cuba, of course, a number - you can believe famous song, but here's Havana Center for Research life and work of Che Guevara (today it is headed by the widow of a revolutionary), just too far.
Look around - mugs, t-shirts with the famous portrait of all the stalls piled high, but to find a chronicle of the revolutionary years or infrequent letters companions - the process time-consuming and laborious. To build a decent material, Russia's critics went straight to Cuba and returned empty-handed, so that the proposed exhibition has the special value.
The first in our country a full-scale exhibition devoted to Che, take two rooms on the main floor will be submitted photographs and contemporary images made famous revolutionary's own hand (yes, Che, and even photographed), and excerpts from diaries, a unique chronicle of the revolutionary years, documentary videos, and even pictures of children Comandante.
Few know that the second daughter of the Latin American revolutionary in jest majestic "My Mao" - to be similar in appearance to a politician.
In 1952, Che traveled to Latin America (Chile, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela) together with his friend - a doctor, writer and scientist Alberto Granados, and then saw the light "Motorcycle Diary", which at the beginning of XX century lifted the classic road movie with the same title.
In short, the memories Granados did not stay in the shade. As well as the memoirs of widow of the legendary Che: Aleida March of submitted them to the public a year ago. True, we have her book «Evocation» ( «The Resurrection of memory") has not yet been issued, but the exhibition organizers have prepared a special translation.
Che's death - a perfect example of the fight to the last drop of blood, sacrifice and martyrdom: in Bolivia, a small guerrilla unit surrounded the U.S. military led a CIA agent, took Guevara captured and executed. The body was tied to the runners of the helicopter and transported to the neighboring village of Valle Grande, and then presented the world shocking photos of the corpse. Since then, Che continued to live after death.
Therefore, the second part of the exhibition, gathered in the vaulted basement is devoted to the cult of personality: she is the most "famous photograph, taken Alberto Korda in the 60-m, then spread by an unprecedented scale (millions of copies worldwide) and has become iconic in the Cuban revolution posters, films, pictures of streets of Havana - in short, a complete set. To create a special atmosphere accompanied anturazhnye rifles, boxes and even musical accompaniment exposure.
"We turned to the topic, not only because that Che Guevara was a great historical personality and the most famous revolutionary planet - explains Natalia Ryurikov, gallery director and organizer of the exhibition. - But also because, after many decades since his death, people around the world continue to think, talk, argue about it. "
And - to make money, add disaffected intellectuals. Under the wing of revolutionary aesthetics hid treacherous industry, as a result of commercialization started in full swing, the air of freedom appetizing smell of big money - say, the consumer society gobbled brave Che Guevara.
Clearly, warm their hands at the sacrificial fire, which attracted millions, - employment for our time is quite natural. There really does not matter whose portrait stamped on T-shirts: Guevara, Castro, Zedong and Hitler - only to sell well.
Two years ago, someone Batlet Bill, the owner of the bookshop from Texas, paid 120 thousand dollars for a strand of hair, cut off from the head of the murdered Che. They say, intended to hang this very relic in a frame in his shop.
And in 2006, in London's Victoria and Albert Museum for the opening of the exhibition "Che Guevara: Revolutionary and image" were not allowed Gerry Adams, leader of the political wing of the Irish Republican Army. Curator of the exhibition claimed that the museum wanted to make Che object design, simply "throwing" a revolutionary component. Well, not such things happen.
Let's be honest, Che-bum ( «Che-Boom Revival», or "Time of Che," as journalists dubbed it) has had its culmination and ebbed, but the revolutionary romanticism today - what a breath of fresh air, so that Guevara continues popular.
I would like the idea of it was not exhausted by "some guy in a beret" on a mug of beer or a wrapper from ice cream (and it occurs). Short, hasta siempre - meet in eternity.

A Laurent-Désiré Kabila, who Che was trying to help organize a guerrilla war in the Congo, survived to the present day, died in the year 2001. Entered Kinshasa in 1997, Kabila declared himself president of the republic, which again changed the name from Zaire to DRKongo and returned Mobutu canceled the state symbols. Critics have argued that the degree of authoritarianism, his reign is little different from the regime of deposed dictator.
Incidentally, in the Congo, until recently, was the most kroveprolitnaya war in the history of Africa-the so-called Second Congo War (1998-2002), war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which was attended by more than twenty armed groups representing eight countries.

We have already discussed Comrade Che http://forum.artinvestment.ru/showthread.php?t = 15115 & highlight =??????

It seems that he was a typical "destroyer to the ground." The creative work did not go.

Until 1959, he participated in revolutionary activities in Cuba, but after the Communist victory gets Cuban citizenship and took the high public office. He had been ambassador at large, Head of the Department of Industry of the National Institute of Agrarian Reform, the Director of the National Bank of Cuba,

Minister of Industry, Head of the Central Planning Board, the head of the Cuban delegation at the UN. At the head of Cuba's economic mission, he visited the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, China, North Korea.

None of these posts, Che Guevara, success is not achieved. As head of the National Bank of Cuba, he could not keep the Cuban peso against catastrophic collapse. His work was accompanied by Minister of Industry collapse of the Cuban industry and economy. His diplomatic efforts and attempts to establish economic ties with other countries to buy weapons have failed. He even managed to quarrel with the Soviet Union, publicly accusing him of "selling its aid people's revolution". After that soured relations with Fidel Castro.

And the question arises of Che Guevara, an example of what?

His work was accompanied by Minister of industry collapse of the Cuban industry and the economy.

In fact, in the Cuban revolution was 3 "icons", Fidel, Che and Camilo Cienfuegos.
He commanded the second column "Antonio Maceo".
But Comandante Camilo Cienfuegos was killed Oct. 28, 1959 during the crash, presumably due to bad weather. Debris from the plane were never found (and they probably fell into the sea).

The picture he left of Fidel.
