June 14 marks the 89th anniversary of the birth of the famous Latin American revolutionary, Commander of the Revolution in Cuba Ernesto Che Guevara … The partisans did not hesitate to follow him to certain death, and the women also unconditionally followed the commandant, losing their heads from one of his glances. There were many love stories in his life, but the main love was always the revolution. Nevertheless, some women still managed to leave a noticeable mark in the life of Che Guevara.
Ernesto Guevara was a very passionate and addicted person, he repeated more than once that a man cannot spend his whole life with one woman. Che was very simple about sexual relations and did not attach any importance to fleeting connections. “Do not forget that that slight itch that we call sexuality needs to be scratched from time to time, otherwise it will get out of control, capture every waking moment and lead to real trouble,” he wrote to a friend.
Many were surprised at how easily Ernesto Guevara conquered women. And this despite the fact that he could not be called a brilliant gentleman. Women appreciated intelligence, erudition, ardor in him and did not notice untidiness, short stature and bad manners.
His first love was a girl nicknamed Chinchina ("rattle"). She was the most beautiful in school, moreover, she was the heiress of one of the richest families. Ernesto was in love and rushed to conquer the girl. They were even going to get married after he graduated from university. But instead, he went on a trip to Latin America, and they parted ways.
Che's first wife was the Peruvian Ilda Gadea. They were brought together by common interests. In her, he was attracted by the fact that she read Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Gorky, before whom he admired, and was also a Marxist and revolutionary. Later, Ilda told how the commander conquered her: “Dr. Ernesto Guevara struck me from the very first conversations with his mind, seriousness, his views and knowledge of Marxism … homeland. Meanwhile, he strove to work in the most backward areas, even free of charge, in order to treat ordinary people … I remember well that we discussed in this connection Archibald Cronin's novel The Citadel and other books that touch upon the theme of the doctor's duty towards the working people … Dr. Guevara believed that the physician must devote himself to improving the living conditions of the general public. And this will inevitably lead him to condemn the government systems that dominate our countries."
Of particular interest to Che Guevara were women, as passionately as he was, carried away by revolutionary ideas. He met the Argentinean Aleida March during the guerrilla warfare in Cuba. She was an active member of the underground movement and became his personal secretary when he commanded the rebels.
Aleida recalled how he won her heart: “I was standing on the threshold of the factory, where we were watching the movement of the enemy camp, and suddenly Che began to chant a poem that was unknown to me. During this time, I was talking to others - and this was an attempt to get my attention. It seemed to me that he wanted me to look at him not as a leader or boss, but as a man."
After the victory, he divorced his first wife and married Aleida. In this marriage, they had four children. They lived from 1959 to 1965 until Guevara left for Congo. Later, Aleida headed the Che Guevara Center in Havana and published a book of memoirs, where she described Che as an intelligent, caring, gentle man who left too early.
The last love of Che Guevara was Tamara Bunke Bider, known by the nickname Tanya the Partisans. This was the most controversial figure in the biography of the Comandante. According to some sources, she was an agent of the Cuban intelligence in Bolivia and the mistress of the Bolivian president, according to others, Tanya worked for the KGB. They met when she accompanied Che as a translator. Tanya prepared a base for the underground in Bolivia, and then went to the mountains with Che and, according to one version, died in 1967, 40 days before the death of the commander. According to another version, she survived and left for the USSR under a different name.
Even in the very last days of Che, when he was captured and detained at the school in the village of La Higuera, he won the heart of the 19-year-old teacher who brought him food. She was the last civilian to see him alive. Julia Cortez later admitted that she fell in love with him at first sight: “Curiosity pushed me to go look at an ugly and bad person, and I met an extremely handsome man. He looked terrible, he looked like a vagabond, but his eyes were shining. For me, he was a wonderful, courageous, intelligent person. I don’t believe that there will ever be another one like that”.
There are still legends about him. The curse of Che Guevara: truth and fiction about the last days of a revolutionary
