Description:
Images of Soviet Premier Anastas Mikoyan, accompanied by a translator (standing to his right, frame 16) and bodyguards, as he arrives at the Presidential Palace for a state reception during his February 1960 visit. Top row of frames (18-22) shows Mikoyan with his translator speaking to Fidel Castro and Minister of Education Armando Hart. The second row shows Mikoyan, his translator and members of his security detail, chatting with President Osvaldo Dorticós while seated on a couch in the Palace, before the arrival of other officials and ministers. Frames 4-7 appear to show Fidel Castro as he leaves Celia Sánchez's apartment in el Vedado and is escorted to a waiting car. Frames 20-22 show Mikoyan in the company of two Cuban officers of the rebel army: the bearded and pony tailed man is Faustino Pérez; the other is unidentified. This print is an identical duplicate of Prints 70, 71, 80, 83, 92, 93, 101, 102, and 106. See also Prints 29, 41, 55, 56, 57, 58, 61-67, 69, 70, 71, 80, 83, 92, 93, 101, 102, 106, and Contact Book VIII.

Description:
The initial moments of Soviet Premier Anastas Mikoyan's arrival in Havana in early February 1960. Frames 6-7 show Fidel Castro with Antonio Nuñez Jiménez, the first director of INRA (Instituto Nacional de Reformia Agraria) at his side; frames 8-9 show Ernesto "Che" Guevara and unidentified others standing beside the Soviets' official jet. Frames 10-20 show Ernesto "Che" Guevara looking expectantly at the aircraft while standing inside the airport terminal (it has apparently begun to rain). Che is surrounded by a large group of men in civilian dress, including a tall blond man with glasses (see also Prints 71, 79 [frames 27-35], 80, 83, 92, 93, 101, 102, and 106 [frames 19, 20]), as well as other military officers. Frames 21 and 22 show the Cubans huddled under the awnings of the airport terminal to escape the rain, waving enthusiastically as apparently Mikoyan descends from the plane (see also Print 65).
