ABSTRACT
The talented Cuban students in the former Soviet Union became dangerous for Castroism because they confirmed first-hand the problems of real socialism and, consequently, that "perestroika" was an experiment that was possible and desirable for the island. "Corruption" hardly causes any scandal in Cuba because it has become routine. The level of moral sanctioning of so-called corruption has practically disappeared, and it will become nil as the true face of "utopia" comes in sight, along with the fraud of "equality" and of "justice." "Corruption" is defined on the basis of a set of requirements that have a two-sided nature: moral and legal. In the case of Castroism, of course, all this is subordinated to the political criteria of the moment and this, to the larger strategy of Fidel Castro's remaining in power. The process of "corruption" given that in the island a code of customs has taken root that is incompatible with the democratic societies that Cuba's future may inspire.
