When Fiedel Castro came to power he turned Cuba into a socialist totalitarian state with very strong relationship with today Russia. The first what he made as new leader was to rewrite the 1940 constitution which author was Batista after his coup. Very soon after that he started to nationalize industries. The Cuban Telephone Company was the first to be nationalized, Fiedel also lowered phone rates. The second to go after that telephone company were oil refineries, which in fact belonged to the United States. As a consequence the U.S went on with the "sugar act" which removed U.S - Cuban sugar trade. In retaliation to such a move Cuba nationalized every single U.S businesses and commercial property based on Cuba. All this steps just drew Cuba and the Soviet Union more and more together... The USSR promised then to buy the whole 700 000 tons of “American” sugar for that year which even more improved diplomatic relationships between the Cuba and the Soviet Union.
Castro's regimen set, and holds till today, a great control over mass media. One can name a lot of things the journalists has no right to report on; namely: dictator's intimate life. On the other hand there are certain things they are obliged to report on. A Cuba’s leader also made a lot of things for education program. In fact he controlled not what students learned but rather that people simply learn. On the first day of year 1961 Castro commenced the literacy campaign all over the country.
There is no opposition in Cuba. Castro founded a single party country and he was 100 per cent sure that it would last for ever. For instance, Huber Matos, former head of Camaguey, was sentenced to 20 years in jail in 1959 for intrigue and high treason. In 1961 Lino Fernandez and five hundred of his co-revolutionary fellows were arrested and put to prison in Santa Clara.
