HAVANA — Fidel Castro looks thin and frail but alert in a photograph from last month posted on the website of the Russian Orthodox Church.
The church said the picture was taken Oct. 20, when Metropolitan Kirill, the church’s top foreign-relations official, was in Havana for the consecration of a new Orthodox cathedral. Cuban state media covered that meeting but did not release any images. It was the first image of Castro, 82, published since June 17. Castro underwent emergency intestinal surgery and disappeared from public view in July 2006. The Associated Press
