Over the past 8 years, there have been some slight changes by Raul Castro. Raul has been working building trades with other countries, realizing that Venezuela is barely better off than Cuba right now. And with Venezuela's govt in the midst of an economic crisis themselves, he is attempting to distance Cuba from Venezuela.
The question now is, with Fidel gone and no longer having any influence over Raul, what will Raul do now? Will he bring Cuba out of the darkness completely or will he maintain the path they are on now and make cautious steps toward slowly bringing Cuba towards a more democratic society?
I don't think he will. I think he will maintain Cuba the way it is and slowly make trade agreements with the US to help Cuba's economy.

“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)
