Toilet paper is not hygienic and ecologic. Even in deep Marocco, you have a water tap, eventually a little soap, which is more likely suitable (to my taste).
I was just enjoying the photo - Castro with an American camera, in the Soviet Union, whilst Kruschev looks on approvingly. No one else finds that ironic or amusing?
The beholder with the funny eye must also be able to identify the camera as a product of the USA, and that is asking a great deal.
dude, there's nothing to blow up in Cuba! They dont even have toilet paper unless you're a tourist.
Really? I took a History Of England course in college too and don't remember any revolutions either. Maybe you refresh our failing memories. Our conversation began w/ the stories last year of the MOPs gorging themselves at the public trough...acts which inexcusably weren't against the law. At least when our congressmen do it, they can get caught and sent to prison.
Interesting to hear how some UK newspapers are described in pejoratve terms.
Not some -- ALL. This is quite an old joke as you can tell form the references to the Times (it may have been true once) and to the Daily Worker:
The Times is read by those who run the country.
The Telegraph is read by those who used to run the country.
The Guradian is read by those who think they ought to run the country.
The Financial Times is read by those who own the country.
The Mail is read by those who think that foreigners run the country.
The Daily Worker is read by those who think Russia should run the country.
The Sun is read by those who don't care who runs the country as long as the girl on page 3 has big Bristols. (Rhyming slang: Bristol City)

Commodities did indeed carry ideological baggage when the Soviets were proclaiming the superiority of their system and the West was trumpeting theirs. These were different times. I find the photo ironic. If you don't, well, I have nothing to offer you. Humor is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
I wonder if it would be safer to take pictures during a revolution or present day London?
I took a walk on a weekday from the Tower of London back to where I live in Kensington, photographing as many 'sensitive' locations as I could think of, including the rear entrance to 10 Downing St, MI5, MI6, the Ministry of Defence, HQ London Military District, Knightsbridge Barracks etc etc, without any interference at all.
Krutchov was quite popular in Russia.
Despite his shoe thundering at an UN assembly meeting Krutchov was preoccupied by 'restoring peace'.
Were you in uniform? 😉

Yes, this is why he stationed all those nukes in Cuba and built the Berlin Wall.
As are most dictators. Im told Ceauşescu was beloved in Romania before they executed him.
Here at last we have no dictatorship, we have capitalism. Our poors are not expression of a dictator. Our poors are only made by the financial decisions. Capitalism is ruled by few, to rule the most. Reminds me of something...😛
Yes, this is why he stationed all those nukes in Cuba....
There must be a billion people or two, now, that regret that those missiles were not fired on 'the peace loving America'. Like the peoples of Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia - just to mention a few.
Well it's an even shorter trip for Brits to escape to the mainland. They should start using any means necessary like the Cubans.
Yes, or Мікіта Хрушчоў 😀
