Cuba-Russia-Warship-Viktor Leonov

A Soviet-made Lada limousine passes by Russian Vishnya (also known as Meridian) class warship CCB-175 Viktor Leonov, docked, on February 26, 2014, at Havana harbor. The Vishnya class ships are used for gathering intelligence. They ships were built in the 1980s for the Soviet Navy and are still deployed within the Russian fleet.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken by ADALBERTO ROQUE for Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the vibrant city of Havana, Cuba. The image captures a unique juxtaposition between two powerful symbols: a Soviet-made Lada limousine and the imposing Russian Vishnya class warship CCB-175 Viktor Leonov. As the Lada gracefully passes by, its vintage charm stands in stark contrast to the modernity and strength emanating from the docked warship. The Lada's presence adds an element of nostalgia to this scene, reminding us of Cuba's historical ties with Russia during the Cold War era. The Vishnya class ships were originally built in the 1980s for intelligence gathering purposes within the Soviet Navy. Today, they continue to serve as vital assets within the Russian fleet. This particular vessel, named CCB-175 Viktor Leonov, finds itself temporarily anchored at Havana harbor. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of Cuba's rich history and geopolitical significance. It symbolizes both resilience and change - showcasing how different eras coexist harmoniously within this enchanting Caribbean nation. ADALBERTO ROQUE skillfully encapsulates these contrasting elements through his lens, offering viewers an intriguing glimpse into Havana's bustling port area where taxis share space with formidable warships.
