The book is dedicated to the most important events in the history of the Republic of Cuba, a state that plays a prominent role in the modern world. It tells about the main stages of the liberation struggle of the Cuban people, which culminated in the victory of the revolution in 1959, about the glorious galaxy of Cuban revolutionaries and patriots (Jose Marti, X.A. Mella, Fidel Castro, etc.). A significant place is given to the post-revolutionary period - the 20-year history of the formation of the first socialist state in the Western Hemisphere, the history of the development of friendly relations with the Soviet Union.
