Cuba awards Russian communist leader with Solidarity Order

Moscow, Jan 22 (Prensa Latina) The president of the Communist Party of Russia, Gennady Zyuganov, was decorated on Wednesday with the Solidarity Order, granted by the Government of Cuba through a presidential decree.

The Cuban Embassy in Moscow was the propitious setting for the political leader to be awarded such a high state decoration from the hands of Cuban Ambassador to Russia Julio Garmendía.

“Cuba and the Cubans recognize in Zyuganov a true patriot of his time, a friend beyond all measure and a defender of the Cuban Revolution, which he has accompanied and protected without hesitation,”the diplomat said at the ceremony.

Garmendía acknowledged that “the Russian communist leader has dedicated his fruitful life to the struggle for the well-being of his people and of the peoples who fight for their freedom, sovereignty and independence,” he stressed.

“His prestige and authority place him among Russia’s most outstanding personalities in recent decades,” the ambassador emphasized.

The president of the Communist Party of Russia expressed gratitude for the award that, in his opinion, is the result of the great friendship demonstrated by him for years to the leaders and people of the “Island of Freedom.”

“Solidarity, first of all, must arise from the minds of historic continuity, the understanding of the problems we have, and the personal responsibility of transferring them to our descendants in the future and to our unique planet,” Zyuganov pointed out.

I would like to once again thank President Miguel Díaz-Canel and the leadership of the Communist Party of our glorious Cuba, and the embassy, who always welcome us with great hospitality, friendship and friendliness, and assure us that we are patriotic forces of the people in union with the Communist Party of Russia, the political leader commented at the awarding ceremony.
