Abstract (English):
The international collaboration between Russia and Cuba in astronomical research first began in 2017. The first 20-cm robotic telescope of the Russian-Cuban network has been operating since 2021 in Havana. The construction of the second 50-cm telescope has been underway since 2023, and it is expected to be finished and installed in 2025 near Kislovodsk (Russia). By 2030, the plan is to build the third 1-m telescope at Valle de Picadura (Cuba). We describe the main parameters and scientific equipment of the new 50-cm telescope and discuss its role in the Russian-Cuban distributed global telescope network.
