Was 14 yr old super patriotic American when Krushchev visited America in 59 and recall feelings very well. And what they were, were very much conflicted. Because while contemplating annihilation almost daily-- nuclear war being often a subject of teenage conversation-- I viewed Krushchev as a likeable character who seemed very human and not a monster. And he first brought into focus how Russians were humans also. And I still feel Nikita was an honorable man in a difficult time in history. This an opinion formed over limetime of receiving info on his life. We need to get beyond past fears, learn to deal honestly with the other, and reduce the nuclear menace before it does us all in. But in that, having survived in own life, it is a wish for future of mankind.
Khrushchev, as we now know, was not an honorable man. Hardly that. He was a clever man. He was a hardline communist who devised Liberation Theology to corrupt the Church from within, purveyed the lie of "Hitler's Pope," and pretended to separate himself from Stalin. I readily suggest, “Disinformation,” by Ion Mihai Pacepa and Ronald Rychlak.
Honorable LOL the man was a communist Soviet. He was still part of what was going on there back in the day. The fact that they let his son become a US citizen is what should scare you.

A small, but interesting post-script to this documentary... Khrushchev's visit was from 15th to 27th September 1959. On 11th September 1959, a young American was granted a hardship discharge from the US Marine Corps. He had told his superiors that his mother was seriously ill. She wasn't. It was a lie. Nevertheless he was given the discharge and spent a few days traveling before he arrived home in Fort Worth, Texas. He spent a few weeks there reading the newspapers avidly, as he always did, despite his dyslexia. He was always keen to know about international affairs, especially about the Soviet Union and the newly-installed regime in Cuba, both of whose systems he claimed to prefer to that of his own country. He must have loved the idea of this little tubby guy from a peasant background getting the better of the American press and authority figures, but connecting with ordinary Americans, whenever and wherever he could. I always wondered how much Khrushchev's tour affected this rather sad, lonely, lost teenager. I say this because, a few days after Khrushchev's tour ended, this young man made a big decision. Without telling anyone, even his mother, he traveled to New Orleans, where he boarded a ship to Le Havre, France and then on to England and then he immediately boarded a plane from London to Helsinki. There, he got a Soviet visa and took the train east and arrived in Moscow in time to celebrate his 20th birthday. As soon as he arrived in the Soviet Union, he declared his wish to defect and become a Soviet citizen. It took a while, but he was granted leave to stay. 18 months later, he married a beautiful young Russian woman. A year after that, their daughter was born. She was named June. But by that time, he had started to feel that he wanted to return to his homeland…and well, that’s another story. By now you should know who I am talking about.
George Soros wasn't a spy. You have accepted right wing propaganda. He helped Jews by taking as a 15 year old boy natzi flyers to their homes & then at the same time warning them. At that same age, he & his family moved to England. People belive all the right wing hate propaganda about him. He was a young hero for my people.

This documentary has a wonderful “Borat” quality to it. Not in the Khrushchev narrative so much (yes he was born naught but a Russian peasant elevated to one of the most powerful people in history, that’s not the point), but in how it illustrates American culture at the time (and maybe today) and how anything can be monetized, even communism in the 1950s. Certainly a lesson on how not to treat a dinner guest, but most importantly how when people come face to face they see one another and even like each other for our common humanity, our humor, and our love of life and peace. Khrushchev was certainly a intriguing historical actor in history. The USA is a challenging audience. Good documentary Excellent production quality The editing and music is beautifully done!
Vladimir Putin Khrushchev led a very strong anti-religion campaign, so although citizens were “free” to practice whatever they wanted he still demolished/shut down churches and did his best to erase religion from the USSR. He didn’t just not believe in them, he tried to get rid of them.
Vladimir Putin I think you are confused, many articles have been written on Khrushchevs anti-religious policies. Feel free to google about it. He began it in the late 1950’s following a more free time for religion when STALIN used/revived religion a little to bolster the war effort and patriotism. Check out the third paragraph in the article, hopefully you’ll learn something new. This is from the Library of Congress. www.loc.gov/exhibits/archives/anti.html
@@katyaerickson4402 no matter what you read before, people was not forbidden to perform religious rites. Yes some churches were closed but not all. You should understand that number of religious people decreased in Soviet Union, and not due to GULAG (which the main thing you probably know about USSR) but by the propaganda of atheism. Is it was bad or good? Controversial question, do we need today such institution that not paying taxes?
@@dommopa4464 This is a pretty misinformed comment. Putin is *extremely* pro religion. Russia literally has several laws based entirely off Christian principles, and theology. Note that I personally don’t think that’s a bad thing.
I mean most of them did. There was an investigation into the party after the assassination of Kirov (one of the highest standing members of the Bolsheviks). They found genuine evidence of sabotage, co-operation with foreign powers, etc. etc. For example, Trotsky betrayed the Mexican workers (after his exile) and gave info so the Americans could repress them more. No wonder he only became a Bolshevik when he got the chance! Molotov had many disagreements with Stalin and stayed alive, same with many others, like Khrushchev himself. Read into it, and most deserved it. Most of the deaths attributed to Stalin were the fault of Yagoda, Yezhov, and Beria, all were executed for their crimes, and Stalin tried to execute Beria (who had about 200 counts of rape and advocated for a capitalist system) but failed due to Beria's control over the NKVD. In the end, Beria met his fate thanks to the Red Army. Yagoda and Yezhov would call people into their offices and make them watch as they very hastily stamped every possible execution warrant they could. They were responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.
This video taught me two things: 1. Khrushchev likes Disneyland 2. Is that sometimes, no matter how hard we try to be friends with someone. They will unnecessarily stab you in the back.
Hilarious mispronunciation of his first name by Eisenhower at 2:23 Edit: This movie was much more fascinating than that initial haha. It is so surreal that all of that happened. A two week tour of any country, let alone Soviet premier in USA at height of Cold War? Such a thing would never happen now for many independent reasons, including being a security nightmare. With much of it appearing loosely scripted and made to look somewhat sprung on Khrushchev, and his spontaneous outbursts likewise a barrel of surprises for his hosts, it was incredibly surreal. But the 24/7 media coverage was also a forerunner of today's reality shows. And some details - sorry for spoilers below - like the bunch of them crowing into limo with Eisenhower sitting in cramped middle position, or the unbelievable choice of the movie scene whose filing he sat in on ... it was one of the craziest and most unexpected historical events of which I was completely ignorant. Finally, one thing that doesnt change is seeing how the media were - as ever - a bunch of whores stoking controversy for page views.
Did Chrysler not have AC in 1957? Such a silly mistake, as well as not allowing Me. K is visit Disney. It's a small world after all! Nice documentary of a very interesting time. Thank you for sharing this!
I think it's a real tragedy that the West misunderstood Nikita Khrushchev so much. I think he could have been a good Ally of the United States because he needed what we had which was modernization. Can you imagine Vladimir Putin coming here today and being upset he didn't get to go to Disneyland ? I really think we missed an opportunity to bring closeness with Russia through Khrushchev
@@alexbleksthe ussr was doomed. The legacy of the purges kept them together, but I don't think that after WW2 they had any chance of becoming a functional nation. It's better that the individual states get to make their own choices. The USSR was not a force for good in any of them.
That would be epic to see Putin rant about splash mountain. Overall, the US and Russia are natural allies despite how odd that seems. Both are industrious, patriotic and want to improve quality of life through science.
Capitalism and Communism cannot co-operate. The difference is, communism can be a force for good for workers in capitalist nations, but capitalism has always done the opposite via invasion, embargoes, bombings, coups, executions, etc. etc. Vladimir Putin had a similar relationship prior to the US' attempt to isolate him. He's a capitalist, that's how this happened.
I don’t understand why the press went after Khrushchev over Stalin’s reign. What did they expect him to do, stand up to Stalin and demand that he step down for his crimes? That wasn’t helping to be a good host and to extend a willingness to work toward peace and disarmament. If they felt that way, why the hell even invite the man? Even if he boasts about how great things are in his country, who cares. Being a polite host doesn’t mean you approve of communism. Think folks, about the Big Picture. “We all live on this planet and breathe the same air.”-John F. Kennedy.
Stalin didn't want to be leader. He tried to resign 4 different times, but the Politburo voted against it everytime. Khruschev was basically the only person who didn't like Stalin after his death, every other candidate recognised his triumphs and brilliance, and Kruschev needed to differentiate himself.
So rude and uncivilised they were! As if he were an alien, coming from a different solar system. US loves having enemies around the world, so they can have an excuse to invade them, many of them more than once!
The best thing about this documentary is all the footage of Americans in the 1950s. People were great looking back then. Something makes me think better looking than whites are today.
Bad nutrition, capitalist greed, stress from more work, etc. etc. The USSR had better nutrition anyway, and a higher caloric intake than the average American (source, CIA). Also, obesity is huge nowadays.
I thought it was funny he was upset he couldnt go to Disneyland LOL I mean wow...leader of the USSR and enemy of capitalists and still he couldnt resist the charm and the joy of a place like Disneyland. I would be upset too if I visited America and couldnt go to Disneyland :) XD
@23:37, calling the USSR the greatest monopoly wasn't slanderous. It was entirely true. And not only of economic power. The Party had monopolistic control of the news media, entertainment, art and literature, education, the police, the military, the labour union, and everything else under the sun except for the black market. A totalitarian state. What was untrue was calling it capitalist as well..
Yes, that's the point. The difference is, it's not totalitarian whenever it's a dictatorship of the proletariat. However, the DoTP ended after Stalin's death
I always held Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev as the best of all classic Soviet leaders. After Stalin's brutal reign, the Soviet Union could have ended up with a leader much like Stalin, or a Felix Dzerzhinsky (originator of the Red- Terror, head of NKVD) type of times past, but instead Khrushchev managed to lobby (or kill) his way into power, and he was a big step forward when compared to Stalin and his Purges and Gulags. Khrushchev was one of Stalin's subordinates in the great purges during the 1930's (assigned to the recently starved- to- death Ukrainians, during the Holodomor), therefore he had to have known and participated in the atrocities as well. EDIT: I highly recommend Sergei Khrushchev, who was Nikita's son, to anyone who would like to know more about how Khrushchev thought and what kind of Man and Leader he was during his reign. Sergei K. explained in one of his lectures that all of Soviet Russia though or had been convinced that the US had elected Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 for the sole purpose of going to war with Russia. He explained that "We in the Soviet Union thought that the only reason America would Elect one of their greatest WW2 Generals as president, was because the American public had decided that they needed to go to war with the Soviet Union as soon as possible. We saw Eisenhower as the one who would press the button and destroy our wonderful Soviet Society. Thankfully this was paranoia on our part" His lectures offer much insight and reasoning behind the major decisions taken by Khrushchev during his time in power. Mr. Khrushchev seems to have tried to correct this knowledge of purges with his "secret speech", that denounced Stalin and the cult of personality. He seems to be yet another person who was in the right place in the right time to take power, and to denounce some of the wrongs of the past. Still, I respect Khrushchev's humble background of being a peasant worker for many years and I wish he had been welcomed a bit warmer by my country. I am an ardent Anti- Communist, and I live in California with many so- called communists. Wish Khrushchev could have seen Disneyland, It is the Happiest place on Earth, after all...All that to say, that even I respect the Man, even if I Hate the Ideology. Thank Khrushchev for not starting world war 3 during the Cuban missile crisis, he basically sacrificed his influence and his future as Soviet leader to stop a war that came very close to fruition. Him and JFK were the pinnacle of cold- war leaders. All the best.
So much lies in your comment. Famine of 1932-33 hit Povolzhye region and Caucasus hard as well, yet Stalin starved ukrainians only. Felix Dzershinsky is a hero, who singlehandedly created shelters for homeless children left without parents as a result of the imperial war. Red terror was a response to white terror which was so brutal, that none of stalin’s politics compare even close
@@artemesaulkov2010 Yes, the Stalinist govt. targeted the Ukrainians specifically for their rebellion against Soviet rule. The independent- Ukraine cause was a just one, and for their resistance they were systematically starved to death (holodomor) all by order and decree of Stalin himself. As far as Dzerzhinsky goes, many evil people, even Hitler did "good" deeds only to distract from their atrocities. I suppose that Bill Cosby was a good man too, because he gave millions to charity. This philanthropy crap does not fool me at all, it is simply the very public propaganda works of very guilty men. He may have built orphanages, but how many of those orphans lost their parents to political repression ordered by Felix himself? The "good" he supposedly did will never outweigh the bad, this is a fact of History. All the best.
@@artemesaulkov2010 I cannot find an official order or decree, but the general consensus of History is that by 1932 the Ukrainians became very rebellious trying to seek some form of independence from Moscow. They then proceeded to try to resist this oppression and it was decided by Stalin and the politburo to starve them out in order to break their will to fight and gain independence. This seems to be the most agreed- upon series of events in terms of History. It has always been very difficult to find any solid documentation of what happened in the Soviet Union, especially during the reign of Stalin. I am sure that you are aware of Stalin altering history and deleting or "disappearing" people from photos, long before photoshop. The most famous example of this is that of secret- police leader Nikolai Yezhov in 1937. Yezhov had initiated the "great- terror" by signing order No. 00447 that same year he was pictured. He fell out of favor with Stalin soon after and was subsequently "deleted and disappeared" from Soviet History. I do not claim to know this 100%, but the majority of interviews I have watched with former Ukrainian and Soviet- citizens who lived it, seem to agree with this outlook on Stalin and his atrocities. God Bless the Ukrainian people for surviving all of the repression they had to experience, I hope this war ends soon for the sake of both Russians and Ukrainians. "Brotherly- nations" with much shared history and culture should not be at war with one another. All the best.
I just shared this with a young girl who seems very interested in history. I think you could have finished this off better by explaining how and why Khrushchev was removed from power in 1964.
I just want to add that the whole watch thing might have been a power move. at that point he was a multi millionaire and he could afford any watch he wanted but he chose that one. maybe it was a statement like you don't need an expensive watch to be powerful maybe he was just cheep but no one ever said you need a fancy watch to be successful.
Man, you do not know communism point. Stalin even didn ot trade his son during WW2 for a german marshal. Died with 1 set of clothes, not like wealth to chidlren through trust funds in USA. not like that. none of soviet leaders chidren are millionaires. I truly think Khrushev had that one watch. Why soviet should wear some swiss surname (Piquet, Philippe Patek, etc) on his wrist?
@@igorpriladyshev3477There's a pretty famous story (and true) of Stalin helping an old lady across the street in the USSR. He was with his friends in the communist party, and after helping her tried to give her money. He realised - he didn't have any money or anything to give, and neither did his fellow Bolsheviks. I guarantee if you asked Svetlana Stalin (not her real name but whatever) she'd say that she didn't live in luxury (although coddled by her father).
31:43 That's not an armored Cadillac, it's a 1957 Chrysler Imperial Crown Limousine, Chrysler's ultimate shame, How come they didn't have air conditioning for the most important dignitary on American soil at that time? They did have AC in a 1953 Imperial but not in a more modern car? what the fuck.
Utopia can’t exist and it’s the USSR’s promise of utopia is partly what’s so sinister about it. It’s good that the USSR failed and there is a better world in most of Eastern Europe. Poland, Germany, the rest of it.
If you think about the inflation as of 2024 December, that watch was only worth back in that time about $152. So in other words Nikita wore $152 watch. 👍
Nikita had the good sense to back down when confronted about installing nuclear missiles in Cuba. If he hadn't, human life today would be drastically different, if it survived at all.
also let's not forget about kennedy removing missiles from Turkey, the USSR wanted to have nuclear weapons reaching washington because amerca had nuclear weapons that could hit Moscow
@@K25_the_first If I recall correctly, Khrushchev specifically mentioned the withdrawal of missiles from Turkey as the win he got from the Cuban missile crisis in his audio memoirs.
56:50 He never done so, this was done by media to sharpen the picture of "angry man" in UN council. There are no photos or movie with him having shoe in his hands for even a second.
I am sorry to report to you that all accounts contrary to the incident are false. In my records as well as in my experience at the UN, Mr. Khrushchev indeed has beat his show on his delegate desk at the 902nd Plenary Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on 12 October 1960. He had first banged his fist and his watch stopped. Already angry, this more infuriated him; as he'd previously removed his shoes as they were too tight; seeing them, he grabbed one and used it. Indelibly etched in my mind.
When you think of Krushchev as being "the class clown of Grade 2, and "Stalin's flunkey" who arranged all "the dog all fights" at the Kremlin he was quite successful.
I get a Vibe that for the Americans he was at First someone like Al Capone, like a Gangster Boss and in the End he was like a Beloved Entertainer....like the One Bald Guy from the Three Stooges, Curly ....i Think. He won the public over!
Going to church doesn't make you Righteous . Being an Atheist doesn't make you a Sinner. Its asking yourself what have I done for my fellow Human Beings today and for the world to help make it better by feeding the homeless and tending to the sick visiting the prisoners in prison and so on. Standing in a church building and saying a bunch of empty prayers and singing a bunch songs if Heaven and stuff was real don't mean diddly and caring for your fellow human beings doesn't require you to believe in a God to be able to do it. Just having a sense of Empathy and Humanity is all you need. So sort of hypocritical for them to say that about Khrushchev. I wonder how big a Sinner whoever said that was and what Sins they have in their closet?
@@ЛеонУайт If you read history of Ukraine you will realise that Ukrainians are the original Russians and Kiev was capital of the russian empire but due to invasions by poles and mongols they became slightly different than the Russians. Russia regained control of ukraine only in 1654. Ukraine and russia were the two core republics of the USSR. Out of the USSR's 290 million strong population, 200 million soviets lived in just 2 republics Ukraine and russia. Without ukraine, russia cannot be strong and powerful. Russia is the big brother while Ukraine is the small brother, both of them can quarrel but will eventually come together.
@@GenocideWesterners Kiev never was the captal of the Russian Empire. On the other hand Saint Petersburg was the capital of the Empire. Kiev for centuries was the capital of ancient slavic Kingdom called Rus. There was never such thing as the Russian Empire those glorious days.

NATO did not start this war. NATO has been on your borders for years now. Poland had to pressure the U.S. heavily to even join NATO, and Sweden and Finland only now joined because, like all other NATO nations, they realized Russia was a danger to everyone around it.
Скорее всего, американское руководство проталкивается к нерациональным действиям против России (СССР в прошлом) какой-то неведомой жадностью и желанием распространить своё влияние на весь земной шар. Что пример с U-2, который сбили под Свердловском... Что пример с расширением НАТО на восток, после устных заявлений не делать этого. Наглость и попытка лишить безопасности Россию за счёт расширения зоны влияния капитала США в Восточной Европе только приведут к конфликтным ситуациям. А конфликтные ситуации к войне.

A small, but interesting post-script to this documentary...
Khrushchev's visit was from 15th to 27th September 1959.
On 11th September 1959, a young American was granted a hardship discharge from the US Marine Corps. He had told his superiors that his mother was seriously ill. She wasn't. It was a lie.
Nevertheless he was given the discharge and spent a few days traveling before he arrived home in Fort Worth, Texas. He spent a few weeks there reading the newspapers avidly, as he always did, despite his dyslexia. He was always keen to know about international affairs, especially about the Soviet Union and the newly-installed regime in Cuba, both of whose systems he claimed to prefer to that of his own country.
He must have loved the idea of this little tubby guy from a peasant background getting the better of the American press and authority figures, but connecting with ordinary Americans, whenever and wherever he could. I always wondered how much Khrushchev's tour affected this rather sad, lonely, lost teenager.
I say this because, a few days after Khrushchev's tour ended, this young man made a big decision. Without telling anyone, even his mother, he traveled to New Orleans, where he boarded a ship to Le Havre, France and then on to England and then he immediately boarded a plane from London to Helsinki. There, he got a Soviet visa and took the train east and arrived in Moscow in time to celebrate his 20th birthday.
As soon as he arrived in the Soviet Union, he declared his wish to defect and become a Soviet citizen.
It took a while, but he was granted leave to stay. 18 months later, he married a beautiful young Russian woman. A year after that, their daughter was born. She was named June.
But by that time, he had started to feel that he wanted to return to his homeland…and well, that’s another story.

Kruschev didn’t hate god, he didn’t believe in him. He hated religions.
Vladimir Putin Khrushchev led a very strong anti-religion campaign, so although citizens were “free” to practice whatever they wanted he still demolished/shut down churches and did his best to erase religion from the USSR. He didn’t just not believe in them, he tried to get rid of them.
Vladimir Putin I think you are confused, many articles have been written on Khrushchevs anti-religious policies. Feel free to google about it. He began it in the late 1950’s following a more free time for religion when STALIN used/revived religion a little to bolster the war effort and patriotism. Check out the third paragraph in the article, hopefully you’ll learn something new. This is from the Library of Congress. www.loc.gov/exhibits/archives/anti.html
@@katyaerickson4402 same as putin and the chinese of today
@@katyaerickson4402 no matter what you read before, people was not forbidden to perform religious rites. Yes some churches were closed but not all. You should understand that number of religious people decreased in Soviet Union, and not due to GULAG (which the main thing you probably know about USSR) but by the propaganda of atheism.
Is it was bad or good? Controversial question, do we need today such institution that not paying taxes?
@@dommopa4464 This is a pretty misinformed comment. Putin is *extremely* pro religion. Russia literally has several laws based entirely off Christian principles, and theology. Note that I personally don’t think that’s a bad thing.
wonderful documentary, and what a time to be alive!
Superb documentary. Thanks for posting. Anyone who survived in Stalin's Inner circle is of historical interest.
I mean most of them did. There was an investigation into the party after the assassination of Kirov (one of the highest standing members of the Bolsheviks). They found genuine evidence of sabotage, co-operation with foreign powers, etc. etc. For example, Trotsky betrayed the Mexican workers (after his exile) and gave info so the Americans could repress them more. No wonder he only became a Bolshevik when he got the chance! Molotov had many disagreements with Stalin and stayed alive, same with many others, like Khrushchev himself. Read into it, and most deserved it. Most of the deaths attributed to Stalin were the fault of Yagoda, Yezhov, and Beria, all were executed for their crimes, and Stalin tried to execute Beria (who had about 200 counts of rape and advocated for a capitalist system) but failed due to Beria's control over the NKVD. In the end, Beria met his fate thanks to the Red Army. Yagoda and Yezhov would call people into their offices and make them watch as they very hastily stamped every possible execution warrant they could. They were responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.
This video taught me two things:
1. Khrushchev likes Disneyland
2. Is that sometimes, no matter how hard we try to be friends with someone. They will unnecessarily stab you in the back.
thank you for uploading this - id been looking for a version with the russian parts dubbed or subbed. Thanks again!

Hilarious mispronunciation of his first name by Eisenhower at 2:23
Edit: This movie was much more fascinating than that initial haha. It is so surreal that all of that happened. A two week tour of any country, let alone Soviet premier in USA at height of Cold War? Such a thing would never happen now for many independent reasons, including being a security nightmare.
With much of it appearing loosely scripted and made to look somewhat sprung on Khrushchev, and his spontaneous outbursts likewise a barrel of surprises for his hosts, it was incredibly surreal. But the 24/7 media coverage was also a forerunner of today's reality shows.
And some details - sorry for spoilers below - like the bunch of them crowing into limo with Eisenhower sitting in cramped middle position, or the unbelievable choice of the movie scene whose filing he sat in on ... it was one of the craziest and most unexpected historical events of which I was completely ignorant.
Finally, one thing that doesnt change is seeing how the media were - as ever - a bunch of whores stoking controversy for page views.
The pictured bulletproof limousine transporting Khruschev is not a Cadillac. It is an Imperial. 31:44
Did Chrysler not have AC in 1957? Such a silly mistake, as well as not allowing Me. K is visit Disney. It's a small world after all!
Nice documentary of a very interesting time. Thank you for sharing this!
I think it's a real tragedy that the West misunderstood Nikita Khrushchev so much. I think he could have been a good Ally of the United States because he needed what we had which was modernization. Can you imagine Vladimir Putin coming here today and being upset he didn't get to go to Disneyland ? I really think we missed an opportunity to bring closeness with Russia through Khrushchev
Maybe the USSR would even still exist today and the Ukrainian war wouldn’t had happebd
@@alexbleksthe ussr was doomed. The legacy of the purges kept them together, but I don't think that after WW2 they had any chance of becoming a functional nation. It's better that the individual states get to make their own choices. The USSR was not a force for good in any of them.
That would be epic to see Putin rant about splash mountain. Overall, the US and Russia are natural allies despite how odd that seems. Both are industrious, patriotic and want to improve quality of life through science.
@@Tom_Cruise_Missile"legacy of purges" Jesus Christ you are think mate
Capitalism and Communism cannot co-operate. The difference is, communism can be a force for good for workers in capitalist nations, but capitalism has always done the opposite via invasion, embargoes, bombings, coups, executions, etc. etc.
Vladimir Putin had a similar relationship prior to the US' attempt to isolate him. He's a capitalist, that's how this happened.
The U2 spy plane incident just shows why we need to be so careful with the situation today.
I don’t understand why the press went after Khrushchev over Stalin’s reign. What did they expect him to do, stand up to Stalin and demand that he step down for his crimes? That wasn’t helping to be a good host and to extend a willingness to work toward peace and disarmament. If they felt that way, why the hell even invite the man? Even if he boasts about how great things are in his country, who cares. Being a polite host doesn’t mean you approve of communism. Think folks, about the Big Picture. “We all live on this planet and breathe the same air.”-John F. Kennedy.
Stalin didn't want to be leader. He tried to resign 4 different times, but the Politburo voted against it everytime. Khruschev was basically the only person who didn't like Stalin after his death, every other candidate recognised his triumphs and brilliance, and Kruschev needed to differentiate himself.
Everything would be much better if they just let Khrushchev visit Disneyland
That would have ended the Cold War right there 😂
These guys are absolutely roasting him god damn media was brutal
Is brutal to this day
So rude and uncivilised they were!
As if he were an alien, coming from a different solar system.
US loves having enemies around the world, so they can have an excuse to invade them, many of them more than once!
The best thing about this documentary is all the footage of Americans in the 1950s. People were great looking back then. Something makes me think better looking than whites are today.
Bad nutrition, capitalist greed, stress from more work, etc. etc.
The USSR had better nutrition anyway, and a higher caloric intake than the average American (source, CIA). Also, obesity is huge nowadays.
Great documentary. What a great man he was
“You don’t eat where you shit”
I thought it was funny he was upset he couldnt go to Disneyland LOL I mean wow...leader of the USSR and enemy of capitalists and still he couldnt resist the charm and the joy of a place like Disneyland. I would be upset too if I visited America and couldnt go to Disneyland :) XD

Thanks!
Great doc.
Thank you!
@23:37, calling the USSR the greatest monopoly wasn't slanderous. It was entirely true. And not only of economic power. The Party had monopolistic control of the news media, entertainment, art and literature, education, the police, the military, the labour union, and everything else under the sun except for the black market. A totalitarian state. What was untrue was calling it capitalist as well..
Yes, that's the point. The difference is, it's not totalitarian whenever it's a dictatorship of the proletariat. However, the DoTP ended after Stalin's death
Masterfully done 🙏🏿🦅
I always held Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev as the best of all classic Soviet leaders. After Stalin's brutal reign, the Soviet Union could have ended up with a leader much like Stalin, or a Felix Dzerzhinsky (originator of the Red- Terror, head of NKVD) type of times past, but instead Khrushchev managed to lobby (or kill) his way into power, and he was a big step forward when compared to Stalin and his Purges and Gulags. Khrushchev was one of Stalin's subordinates in the great purges during the 1930's (assigned to the recently starved- to- death Ukrainians, during the Holodomor), therefore he had to have known and participated in the atrocities as well.
EDIT: I highly recommend Sergei Khrushchev, who was Nikita's son, to anyone who would like to know more about how Khrushchev thought and what kind of Man and Leader he was during his reign. Sergei K. explained in one of his lectures that all of Soviet Russia though or had been convinced that the US had elected Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 for the sole purpose of going to war with Russia. He explained that "We in the Soviet Union thought that the only reason America would Elect one of their greatest WW2 Generals as president, was because the American public had decided that they needed to go to war with the Soviet Union as soon as possible. We saw Eisenhower as the one who would press the button and destroy our wonderful Soviet Society. Thankfully this was paranoia on our part" His lectures offer much insight and reasoning behind the major decisions taken by Khrushchev during his time in power.
Mr. Khrushchev seems to have tried to correct this knowledge of purges with his "secret speech", that denounced Stalin and the cult of personality. He seems to be yet another person who was in the right place in the right time to take power, and to denounce some of the wrongs of the past. Still, I respect Khrushchev's humble background of being a peasant worker for many years and I wish he had been welcomed a bit warmer by my country. I am an ardent Anti- Communist, and I live in California with many so- called communists. Wish Khrushchev could have seen Disneyland, It is the Happiest place on Earth, after all...All that to say, that even I respect the Man, even if I Hate the Ideology. Thank Khrushchev for not starting world war 3 during the Cuban missile crisis, he basically sacrificed his influence and his future as Soviet leader to stop a war that came very close to fruition. Him and JFK were the pinnacle of cold- war leaders. All the best.
So much lies in your comment. Famine of 1932-33 hit Povolzhye region and Caucasus hard as well, yet Stalin starved ukrainians only.
Felix Dzershinsky is a hero, who singlehandedly created shelters for homeless children left without parents as a result of the imperial war. Red terror was a response to white terror which was so brutal, that none of stalin’s politics compare even close
@@artemesaulkov2010 Yes, the Stalinist govt. targeted the Ukrainians specifically for their rebellion against Soviet rule. The independent- Ukraine cause was a just one, and for their resistance they were systematically starved to death (holodomor) all by order and decree of Stalin himself.
As far as Dzerzhinsky goes, many evil people, even Hitler did "good" deeds only to distract from their atrocities. I suppose that Bill Cosby was a good man too, because he gave millions to charity. This philanthropy crap does not fool me at all, it is simply the very public propaganda works of very guilty men. He may have built orphanages, but how many of those orphans lost their parents to political repression ordered by Felix himself? The "good" he supposedly did will never outweigh the bad, this is a fact of History. All the best.
@@justinwaters8679 could you show me the order where stalin says that ukrainians must be starved?
@@artemesaulkov2010 I cannot find an official order or decree, but the general consensus of History is that by 1932 the Ukrainians became very rebellious trying to seek some form of independence from Moscow. They then proceeded to try to resist this oppression and it was decided by Stalin and the politburo to starve them out in order to break their will to fight and gain independence. This seems to be the most agreed- upon series of events in terms of History.
It has always been very difficult to find any solid documentation of what happened in the Soviet Union, especially during the reign of Stalin. I am sure that you are aware of Stalin altering history and deleting or "disappearing" people from photos, long before photoshop. The most famous example of this is that of secret- police leader Nikolai Yezhov in 1937. Yezhov had initiated the "great- terror" by signing order No. 00447 that same year he was pictured. He fell out of favor with Stalin soon after and was subsequently "deleted and disappeared" from Soviet History.
I do not claim to know this 100%, but the majority of interviews I have watched with former Ukrainian and Soviet- citizens who lived it, seem to agree with this outlook on Stalin and his atrocities. God Bless the Ukrainian people for surviving all of the repression they had to experience, I hope this war ends soon for the sake of both Russians and Ukrainians. "Brotherly- nations" with much shared history and culture should not be at war with one another. All the best.

"You don't eat where you shit" - pity Americans don't understand this simple wisdom
I just want to add that the whole watch thing might have been a power move. at that point he was a multi millionaire and he could afford any watch he wanted but he chose that one. maybe it was a statement like you don't need an expensive watch to be powerful maybe he was just cheep but no one ever said you need a fancy watch to be successful.
Man, you do not know communism point. Stalin even didn ot trade his son during WW2 for a german marshal. Died with 1 set of clothes, not like wealth to chidlren through trust funds in USA. not like that. none of soviet leaders chidren are millionaires. I truly think Khrushev had that one watch. Why soviet should wear some swiss surname (Piquet, Philippe Patek, etc) on his wrist?
@@igorpriladyshev3477There's a pretty famous story (and true) of Stalin helping an old lady across the street in the USSR. He was with his friends in the communist party, and after helping her tried to give her money. He realised - he didn't have any money or anything to give, and neither did his fellow Bolsheviks.
I guarantee if you asked Svetlana Stalin (not her real name but whatever) she'd say that she didn't live in luxury (although coddled by her father).

The American media making fat jokes about Nikita did not age well.
I wonder how much that watch is worth today?
Monro does know only one word is interesting
She is stupid
31:43 That's not an armored Cadillac, it's a 1957 Chrysler Imperial Crown Limousine, Chrysler's ultimate shame, How come they didn't have air conditioning for the most important dignitary on American soil at that time? They did have AC in a 1953 Imperial but not in a more modern car? what the fuck.
Seems intentionally intended to make him look worse/be irritated.
If only Americans let comrade Khrushchev visit Disneyland...maybe there wouldn't be any Cold War at all

I honestly loved watching this film. Soo much insight. I'm very sad that the USA and USSR couldn't have turned the entire world into a utopia. ❤️
Utopia can’t exist and it’s the USSR’s promise of utopia is partly what’s so sinister about it. It’s good that the USSR failed and there is a better world in most of Eastern Europe. Poland, Germany, the rest of it.
The music to some of these scenes 😅😅😅😂😂
If you think about the inflation as of 2024 December, that watch was only worth back in that time about $152. So in other words Nikita wore $152 watch. 👍

Nikita had the good sense to back down when confronted about installing nuclear missiles in Cuba. If he hadn't, human life today would be drastically different, if it survived at all.
also let's not forget about kennedy removing missiles from Turkey, the USSR wanted to have nuclear weapons reaching washington because amerca had nuclear weapons that could hit Moscow

56:50 He never done so, this was done by media to sharpen the picture of "angry man" in UN council. There are no photos or movie with him having shoe in his hands for even a second.
I am sorry to report to you that all accounts contrary to the incident are false. In my records as well as in my experience at the UN, Mr. Khrushchev indeed has beat his show on his delegate desk at the 902nd Plenary Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on 12 October 1960. He had first banged his fist and his watch stopped. Already angry, this more infuriated him; as he'd previously removed his shoes as they were too tight; seeing them, he grabbed one and used it. Indelibly etched in my mind.

Going to church doesn't make you Righteous . Being an Atheist doesn't make you a Sinner. Its asking yourself what have I done for my fellow Human Beings today and for the world to help make it better by feeding the homeless and tending to the sick visiting the prisoners in prison and so on. Standing in a church building and saying a bunch of empty prayers and singing a bunch songs if Heaven and stuff was real don't mean diddly and caring for your fellow human beings doesn't require you to believe in a God to be able to do it. Just having a sense of Empathy and Humanity is all you need. So sort of hypocritical for them to say that about Khrushchev. I wonder how big a Sinner whoever said that was and what Sins they have in their closet?

Интересно получается с 1946 года Америка объявила России холодную войну только одна война закончилась им объявляют вторую и вот такие приемы улыбки у меня как у нового поколения вопрос а с Европой ли Россия воевала. Столько лет Россию на колени ставят с 1990 вообще 10 лет ужаса вместо зарплат водку давали. Люди вообще зарплат не видели. Все под ихнюю дудку делали и вот приехали нато у границ санкции и очередная война.

NATO did not start this war. NATO has been on your borders for years now. Poland had to pressure the U.S. heavily to even join NATO, and Sweden and Finland only now joined because, like all other NATO nations, they realized Russia was a danger to everyone around it.
Скорее всего, американское руководство проталкивается к нерациональным действиям против России (СССР в прошлом) какой-то неведомой жадностью и желанием распространить своё влияние на весь земной шар.
Что пример с U-2, который сбили под Свердловском... Что пример с расширением НАТО на восток, после устных заявлений не делать этого.
Наглость и попытка лишить безопасности Россию за счёт расширения зоны влияния капитала США в Восточной Европе только приведут к конфликтным ситуациям. А конфликтные ситуации к войне.
