Fidel Castro Ruz
Fidel Castro Ruz (1926-2016) was a Cuban revolutionary and politician who served as Prime Minister from 1959 to 1976 and then as President from 1976 to 2008. A prominent figure in the Cold War, he led the Cuban Revolution that overthrew the Batista regime, establishing a one-party socialist state in Cuba. Castro was known for his charismatic leadership, controversial policies, and his ability to withstand numerous attempts of US intervention. His government faced significant criticism for human rights abuses, but he was also celebrated for advancing education and healthcare in Cuba.
