Thanks for this, with Cuban things we are always learning!

Interesting that the ribbon is very close that of the Panamanian Medal of Solidarity of World War I.

Business at the anti-fascist shop must be rather slow, what with there haven't been any (real ones) since 1945.

And I never COULD keep the distinction between "colonialism" and "neo-colonialism" straight in school.

It would be interesting to find out who actually got this and for what. "Any other form of exploitation" is wondrous vague.

I note the Russian Ambassador received one not too long ago.
