The official, who also chairs the regional branch of the Russia-Cuba Friendship Association, told Prensa Latina that 12 cypresses will be planted as tribute to the first heads of the USSR-Cuba and Cuba-USSR friendship associations, Yuri Gagarin and Ernesto Che Guevara.
Kiviko noted that the promenade will be inaugurated on Friday, April 28, in the youth resort of Artek, on the southern coast of Crimea, and it is part of the Garden of Memory initiative and the celebration of Victory Day over Nazi Germany, which is commemorated in Russia on May 9.
It will be another symbol of friendship and unity between the Russian and Cuban peoples,” Irina Kiviko said.
