Castro Dominates Cuba in Year of Change
Fidel Castro remains Cuba’s most popular public figure while also its most hated, as a leftist social revolution takes deep root. His regime has expanded land reform, created the Agrarian Reform Institute, and intensified state control, with over two million acres under seizure and more than 500 rural cooperatives and 400 people's stores. The crackdown includes firing squads and suppressed opposition, yet corruption remains notably scarce.
