New photo of Fidel Castro appears
El Nuevo Herald reports that the first public photo of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro since January has appeared on the Internet page of the Russian Orthodox Church:
The photo shows Castro with Metropolitan Kiril Gundjaev during the Orthodox Church leader's visit to Havana last month to inaugurate a new cathedral in Old Havana.
The 82-year-old Castro appears not much changed from his last publicly available image, taken during a January visit to Havana by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. After his meeting with Castro on Oct. 20, Gundjaev, head of foreign church affairs for the Moscow patriarchate, told journalists that Castro had seemed "lucid but somewhat weak."
