description

En Caviar con Ron : ' Sdelano na Kube', Jacqueline Loss y Jose Manuel Prieto analizan la gama vasta de actitudes hacia lo sovietico -desde una minimizacion del impacto sovietico en Cuba a una expresion exagerada de gratitud hacia los “rusos”- que se han encontrado desde que comenzaron su colaboracion investigativa en 2004. Notan que las transformaciones  en la memorializacion, de una negacion rotunda a una aceptacion actual que no dudarian de llamar entusiasta, fueron algo que no pudieron anticipar del todo cuando decidieron organizar el que puede considerarse el primer simposio internacional (2007) dedicado a estudiar el impacto del vinculo sovietico en Cuba y publicar el libro  Caviar with Rum: Cuba-USSR and the Post-Soviet Experience (2012), que aquilato las huellas de esa, extrana relacion de un pais del “tercer mundo” con una potencia lejana y virtualmente desconocida, todo dentro del marco de la Guerra Fria. En este texto, buscan compartir su experiencia, relatar sus principales etapas y el estado actual de la cuestion del imaginario cubano de lo sovietico y lo ruso. In “ Caviar with Rum : Sdelano na Kube ,” Jacqueline Loss and Jose Manuel Prieto analyze the vast range of attitudes toward the Soviet -from the minimization of the Soviet impact in Cuba to an exaggerated expression of gratitude toward the “Russians”- that they have encountered since they began their investigative collaboration in 2004.  They note that the transformations in the memorialization, from an emphatic negation to an acceptance these days that they might even call enthusiastic, were something that they could not anticipate in the least when they decided to organize what can be considered as the first international symposium (2007) dedicated to studying the impact of the Soviet link in Cuba, and the publication of the book Caviar with Rum: Cuba-USSR and the Post-Soviet Experience (2012) that assessed the remnants of this strange relationship between a “Third Word” country with a far-away and virtually unknown power, all within the framework of the Cold War. In this text, they seek to share their experience, telling the first stages and the current state of the question of the Cuban imaginary of the Soviet and the Russian.
