It will be interesting to see what becomes of the country now that Maduro takes over. While there is no doubt that he was a Chavez apologist and stauch supporter, he is known around the world as a moderate. It would be nice to see that country become less like the Cuba of the 60s and more like a modern Latin American country.

Russian Communist Party head Gennady Zyuganov today demanded an international investigation into the death of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, claiming it was “far from a coincidence” that six leaders of Latin-American countries who had criticized the U.S. simultaneously fell ill with cancer.
“How did it happen that six leaders of Latin American countries which had criticized US policies and tried to create an influential alliance in order to be independent and sovereign states, fell ill simultaneously with the same disease?” Zyuganov told Russian state television, urging an investigation under “international control” into Chavez’s death.

I don't know if in fact six leaders became ill, but if sothat is a striking coincidence at the least.
