Description

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, or simply Che, is a legendary figure, a comrade-in-arms of Fidel Castro, a man who became, for several generations, an ideal fighter for freedom and justice. He died nearly 40 years ago in a small Bolivian village, without managing to carry out his grandiose plan for an all-American guerrilla war against U.S. domination in South America. Over the years, interest in Che Guevara has not waned in the least - on the contrary, it has even grown. Besides his direct heirs - revolutionary guerrillas of various political persuasions fighting in different parts of the planet - he is remembered by both his former and his present opponents. Songs are composed about him, poems are dedicated to him, his portraits can be seen both in the windows of fashionable Paris shops and on the crumbling walls of houses in the poorest Latin American villages. Many Bolivian peasants today venerate Che Guevara as a saint. But, despite the keen interest in Che Guevara and the growing popularity of the romantic revolutionary, it is surprising how nearly complete the silence of Russian researchers and journalists has been. The book by Yu.P. Gavrikov, written with great affection, will be a notable contribution to the study of the personality of Che Guevara. It is especially important to note that the author was personally acquainted with the legendary hero, and met with him more than once in Cuba.
