The authors of this poster are U. Kershin and S. Gurary who created it in 1963. The poster shows Fidel Castro and Nikita Khrushchev standing side by side, raising their joined hands in a triumphant gesture of unity. Behind Castro is the Cuban flag and behind Khrushchev is the red Soviet flag with the hammer and sickle, symbolizing the close bond between the two nations. Both leaders are depicted smiling and confident, reflecting the political warmth of the era. The slogan reads “Long live eternal, unbreakable friendship and cooperation between Soviet and Cuban nations!” («Да здравствует вечная, нерушимая дружба и сотрудничество между советским и кубинским народами!»). The composition underscores solidarity, revolutionary partnership and the political alliance that defined Soviet-Cuban relations in the early 1960s.
