Though he died a year ago, Hugo Chavez still presents a weekly show on Venezuelan state television.

In the last episode, he showed off poverty reduction data, railed at the "bourgeoisie" for looting the nation's oil wealth and accused the opposition of fomenting instability during an hourslong monologue from the presidential palace.

The weekly retransmission of Chavez's famous "Hello, President!" program is just one example of how his successor, Nicolas Maduro, has kept the socialist leader's image alive ever since his death from cancer at age 58 on March 5, 2013.
