1963 picture of Castro visiting the Kremlin.

[Swampy]

Two months after the Kennedy administration barred Americans from any transactions with Cuba, Soviet Union leader Nikita Khrushchev hosted Fidel Castro on April 27, 1963, in Castro's first visit to the USSR.

This photo from Castro's 40-day visit to the USSR features Khrushchev and a bunch of Soviets smiling while Castro, wearing two Rolex watches, lights up a Cuban cigar in front of a Karl Marx portrait in the Kremlin.

TWO Rolexes? Now, that's socialism at its best.

There exists a Finnish proverb:

"Do not live, like I live.  Live like I preach."

That's hypocrisy.

Just another variation of the old, "Do as I say, not as I do".

Yes, it is.  It is intended to express quite that.
