Caracas: Two decisive moments of his government, Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, the theater of his pocket and pulled out a small silver cross and held it on his head.
Both quasi-religious socialist ex-soldier with the messianic zeal and charity supporters to "return" No - the 2002 coup that saw him locked in a small Caribbean island, and after surgery for cancer in Cuba in June 2011.
When returning after surgery crucifix hold on the balcony of Miraflores Palace, the president of the largest oil exporter in South America, had said that their fortune in the hands of God and the Virgin Mary.
"Today, the revolution is more alive than ever sorry that I can not live, I play ... If Christ is with us, who is against us.? If people with us, who can be against us," he said, Working his fans into a frenzy.
"But one that my presence here means that this war must be won." He said that, in exchange for their health vulnerability crying tears of joy fell at home.
Chavez died in hospital on Tuesday, after the end of Cuba four operations for cancer succumb. His death charismatic, ending 14 years of rule by unstable that he was an important figure in the world.
Always somenamam, Chavez jokes come in theology, and between supporters created a cult-like devotion to Marxist rhetoric about baseball metaphors.
During his presidency, the religious aspect, El Salvador and Venezuela for some radical nationalists, and it worked tremendously. If opponents insult and describe it as a brutal dictator, Chavez supporters as a champion of the poor, and won four elections.
He left his mentor Fidel Castro to Latin America as a leader and a block in the strongest U.S. critic, friends and enemies, and dramatically cut a frankness that can be linked to someone else won.
When cancer first struck, the fight Chavez step aside.
Instead, they implemented a successful campaign in the forefront of the government to continue during their physical limits were reached, but a new position on October 7 election six years limped.
Rural Roots
The young Chavez, Barinas and a mud hut cattle ground in the second half of the teachers of the children raised by their grandmother, Rosa Inés, a birth or a United States Major League Baseball pitcher painter strives.
Attracted by the opportunity to play baseball, he joined the army at the age of 16 and was eventually promoted to lieutenant colonel.
Leftist rebels and the army away long before Chavez national scene leader Carlos Andres Perez jhalaki after 1992, when he tried to lead a revolt, even if mixed with.
Rebellion failed and Chávez surrendered, but a famous speech by beautiful green uniform and red beret figure dressed in television before being transported to the prison.
He notes that the rebels "now" for the failure ("now"), many Venezuelans, particularly the poor, the Chavez government that more and more corrupt and not electrified felt cold for your needs to appreciate.
This suggests that there will be, in addition to taking responsibility without shame by Chavez, he is a hero in some quarters.
"I thank you for their loyalty to the country for his courage, abundance, and I, and those before you, the Bolivarian responsibility for the terrorist movement to take," he said, his supporters to lay their weapons aimed.
The next president of Venezuela, Rafael Caldera in 1994 by apologizing, Chavez was released from prison, and political support for a campaign, former Miss Universe, four years later, won the presidential election defeat.

Chavez 'Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela "changed the nation's name, and Bolivar against big box appears, Venezuelans send a subliminal message that he is the reincarnation of his idol in modern history.
Slum Hero
In the early days of his government, Chavez popularity levels of 80 percent or more of the fugitive neighbors, especially in the capital Caracas expansion.
His first big test when he was three years a large street protests and political enemies of business and union leaders, Catholic bishops and even dissident soldiers were scathing storage.
What is often referred to as your darkest hour - comparable only to the diagnosis of cancer, said his friend and ally Fidel Castro in Havana in 2011 to a private hospital with broken - Chavez thought he would be slain.
Venezuela, loyal outraged "Chavista" followers of Pedro Carmona, who recently restored Chavez to power and forced to resign the presidency of demonstrations by hundreds of soldiers and an incredible 72 hours of kickback.

It is home to the Middle East, the name was soon Mesoamerica.
"Mussolini, CASTRO" is
Allies say Chavez abroad misunderstood, a relentless propaganda campaign led by the United States victim.
"I called Mussolini or Fidel Castro, or that I sleep with a pillow book Hitler" Chavez said once. "But people know the truth, he knows who I really am.".
It is inspired by Bolivar fervent nationalism and equality in the distribution of wealth were attached to the traditional leftist principles.
Critics often are corrupt and unfit accused him and his government and Cuban - style authoritarian government rules the country. Definitely a handful of opponents at the end of the exile or in prison, usually said corruption was discovered.
Business Critics said the expropriation of farmland and the economy billions of dollars in oil projects, including many of the socialist reforms, including nationalization, job losses and investors to panic.
A decade of high oil prices Chavez social programs that were the backbone of his support among the poor voters to spend large amounts approved.
His famous slums "mission" that free healthcare and education, but also food, clothing, and even electronics, and perhaps his greatest legacy the grants to take.
One form or another for all political opponents continue mortgage.
Chavez has long been waiting to be viewed in a cross as his "revolution" ball Venezuela to a big difference between rich and poor, extreme poverty, mass unemployment and rampant crime vast oil and mineral wealth connection to close.
Communist Cuba and Fidel Castro, and other anti-American states like Iran with subordinate, his admiration for Washington, which has long been irritated by the Venezuelan oil foreign buyers.
