The city of Olenevka, in Crimea, joins today the homage in the whole world to the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, with the opening of a monument in his honor.

Located in Key Tarjancut, the sculpture is 2,5 meters high and it was sculpted in limestone by creator Víctor Kruzman,a resident in this territory.

According to local media, thousands of passers-by visited the sculpture, which includes an image of the Cuban ex-president accompanied by the phrase 'The Victory Is Perseverance', and it was unveiled by the Minister of Domestic Politics, Communication and Information of Crimea, Dmitri Polonski.

During its opening, Polonski pointed out that the above mentioned activity is a way of showing respect for 'this big Commander and friend of Russia'.
