Even for “Democracy Now” Putin’s To Blame for the Rock Concert Massacre
Last week at least 137 Russians were killed at the Crocos rock concert outside of Moscow. Untold numbers were wounded, some remaining in critical condition. ISIS K has claimed responsibility.
However, do you know who’s truly responsible according to DN?
“Putin!”
That’s the takeaway the program’s audience was left with at the end of today’s program (3/25/24).
The presentation said little about…

俄國精英階層禍起蕭牆 普丁的壞兆頭來了

在俄羅斯，公眾人物如果被起訴或懲罰必定符合兩個條件：反對普丁的統治或他在烏克蘭的「特別軍事行動」，而且他們不是高級官員。

El mayor demócrata que ha tenido Rusia| por Nina L. Khrushcheva – Project Syndicate
Quizás si Mikhail Gorbachev, el último líder soviético, hubiera muerto en 1991, la gente en ese entonces se habría ocupado de evaluar su lugar en la historia. Pero, debido a que Gorbachov se unió a historiadores, políticos, sus camaradas y el público en la revisión de su gobierno, ayudó a enterrarse a sí mismo como una figura histórica mientras aún vivía.

Top 5 favorite Soviet history figures (I might be able to guess one based on your URL lol)?
my url is actually plural for a reason!!! but yeah you did guess
i honestly could not pick between my two favorites who inspired my url but 1 and 2 would be Nadezhda and Svetlana Alliluyeva. Nadya is sort of personally special to me because she was the subject of my senior thesis and I do think I may be the foremost living expert on her (THIS SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A BRAG SORRY but she's really obscure ckfdjgds.) But I also do deeply love Svetlana and she is also very very important to me.
3 and 4 would be Nikita Khrushchev and Anastas Mikoyan, the ultimate bro squad. Khrushchev is a fascinating and deeply compelling historical figure, incredibly quotable, and the genuine cause of a lot of positive change in Soviet society and he is also my grandfather (do you guys remember when I got that hostile anon accusing me of having a parasocial relationship with Anastas Mikoyan lmfaooooooooo) anyway Mikoyan is imo such an underrated figure in Soviet politics, I love his impact on food history, and I love the entire Mikoyan family which is deeply interesting to me
5 would probably be Nadezhda Krupskaya! I mostly focused on the Stalin era especially later in undergrad tho I started w focusing on the revolution itself so I initially wanted to give this spot to a member of the later Kremlin Wives Community like Polina Molotova or Nina Khrushcheva but I really couldn't pick, I find them all compelling. Nadezhda was definitely not just a Kremlin Wife but a politician in her own right as part of an older and less regressive generation of Bolsheviks (I do not mean this as a putdown of the next generation at all, there were more forces going on there than individual achievement) and I find her inspiring on a lot of levels, and very interesting as well. I think we would probably get on well if we met too :)
Also honorable mentions to Bukharin and to the Kremlin kiddo memoirist squad.
Thank you so much for asking this! Brought me back to my roots lol. I'm going to start trawling through my archives and reblogging pictures of baby Svetlana now :')

As the late Mikhail Gorbachev noted in 1985, “The two sides and their leaders had enough wisdom and the boldness to take some very important decisions. History is very interesting in that way, when you attempt to draw lessons from it.”

俄羅斯的復仇主義 成為外交的主軸
赫魯雪娃（Nina L. Khrushcheva）為紐約新學院國際事務教授，前蘇聯領導人赫魯雪夫曾孫女，與Jeffrey Tayler合著《In Putin’s Footsteps》等
基於想要糾正歷史錯誤的復仇主義議程，成為俄羅斯外交政策的核心，也是發動烏克蘭戰爭的理由，但俄羅斯總統普丁似乎忘了，為保護當權者利益而改寫歷史，往往會招致不同意見，甚至產生適得其反的效果。
俄羅斯新版10年級和11年級歷史教科書就是很好的例子，這些教材由前文化部長梅金斯基（Vladimir Medinsky） 和曾享有盛譽的國際關係研究院（MGIMO）院長托爾庫諾夫（Anatoly…

What Jackie Kennedy lost to Nina Khrushcheva, despite her sense of style
What Jackie Kennedy lost to Nina Khrushcheva, despite her sense of style
Jackie Kennedy and Nina Khrushcheva are often compared – not in favor of the latter. But in vain!
Nina Kukharchuk, who later married Nikita Khrushchev and became Nina Khrushcheva, is the first “first lady” of our country. The years in this status coincided with a similar position in the society of the first lady of the United States, Jacqueline Kennedy.
Women are constantly compared and most…

Happy 120th birthday to Nina Khrushcheva!
[Images of Nina: with her husband circa 1924; with their daughter Rada and son Sergei in 1935; with Khrushchev and their youngest child Yuliya circa 1945; with her husband in the 1960s; meeting Eleanor Roosevelt in New York and Jackie Kennedy in Vienna; in a portrait in the 1960s; with her daughter Yuliya after Khrushchev’s death circa late seventies]
Nina Petrovna Kukharchuk was born on April 14th, 1900 to a Ukrainian peasant family. She attended primary school in her village and then a girls’ boarding school in Odessa, on a scholarship funded by a local bishop. After the revolutions of 1917, she joined the Communist Party and began working in Communist organization and education.
In 1922, while teaching at a continuing education school in Donetsk, Ukraine, she met Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, who was one of her students. He was a 28-year-old widower with two young children. They would spend the next forty-nine years together, although they never legally married. (In the early years of the new Soviet society, as many young people discarded religious ritual and other traditions, common-law marriages were quite widespread).
In addition to her stepchildren, Nina and her husband had four more children together, and eventually legally adopted the daughter of her stepson Leonid, who was killed in action during the Second World War. While raising her growing family, Nina at first continued working, eventually becoming head of education and propaganda for a Moscow factory. As her husband’s political career took off, though, the situation changed, and she eventually left work after the birth of her third child. During the Stalinist period, it was unusual for upper-level politicians to have working wives, in part because Stalin himself frowned on it.
As part of a family in the Soviet elite during a very chaotic period of history, Nina weathered a significant amount of stress and potential danger due to her husband’s position. For more information about the earlier period of her life, please check out this post which I made on the subject.
In 1953, Stalin died after thirty years of totalitarian rule, accompanied by a pervasive personality cult. The ensuing power struggle was crucial for the future of the Soviet Union: who would succeed Stalin, how would they interpret his legacy, and what direction would they take the country in? At this point, Nikita Khrushchev was little known outside of the Soviet Union and was not considered a serious contender by virtually anyone, including the other men in Stalin’s inner circle. Over the next few years, however, he successfully outmaneuvered his rivals. At the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956, Khrushchev shocked his country and the world by openly denouncing Stalin, his personality cult, and the brutality of his regime.
This paved the way for a new era in Soviet history, one that soon acquired the colloquial name “the Khrushchev thaw”. Within the Soviet Union, this period was one of economic liberalization and greater cultural and social freedoms, pulling away from Stalinist-era repressions. While this time period was also characterized by waves of Cold War tension, there was nevertheless a serious effort by Soviet leadership to open up their country to the outside world and improve relationships with Western capitalist countries.
An important part of this effort was visits by Soviet leaders, including Khrushchev himself, to foreign countries. Nina, and often some of their grown children, accompanied him on these travels, including on a tour of America in 1959. While Khrushchev’s energetic personality and undeniable stage presence certainly contributed to the success of these visits, Nina herself was popular with the American people. She helped to humanize both her husband and the Soviet Union in the eyes of foreigners, and many American women found her particularly–and often unexpectedly–relatable.
Nina also spoke English, which allowed her to more effectively liaise with the American press and the other people she encountered on their travels, from politicians to ordinary people. She also gave a radio address directed towards the women of America on the subject of nuclear disarmament, which you can listen to here.
After a 1964 coup that removed Khrushchev from power, Nina’s life and that of her family changed again. They spent much of their time at a dacha outside of Moscow, while Leonid Brezhnev’s more conservative government undid many of Khrushchev’s reforms and tried to make him a historical pariah. In his last years, the isolated Khrushchev was often seriously depressed. Nina’s family remembered her as a strong matriarch, but her husband’s unhappiness must have weighed heavily on her. His death in 1971, however, was devastating. Letters and diary entries from the thirteen years Nina spent as a widow show a woman in deep mourning for her life partner. She was also subject to discrimination from the government, who attempted to deny her the pension she should have received as a government worker’s widow, using the excuse of nitpicking over their legal marital status. Brezhnev’s wife had to personally intervene and convince her husband to give Nina what she was owed.
To borrow the eloquent words of @strelka, Nina made a “quiet but significant positive impact on Soviet life and developing mutual understanding during the Cold War”. Personally, I find her position as a public figure interesting in part because the way she presented herself and was presented was certainly very rooted in traditional feminine roles–warmth, caregiving, compassion, being a wife and mother. Yet, at the same time, her presence resonated with many people, and she helped change the way the Soviet Union appeared to the outside world, a particularly stark contrast with the almost complete absence of women from Soviet international relations during Stalin’s time. She was also an intelligent, loving, and determined woman who lived resiliently through many transitions and traumas, both personal and national.

Expert On Russia Says Putin Has Something On Trump And Will Soon Make It Known To The World (VIDEO)
Nina Khrushcheva is an expert on Russia, Vladimir Putin, and Russian policy towards the United States. And she said Saturday on AM Joy that she thinks the relationship between Putin and Donald Trump has reached that point that Putin will soon be “pragmatically” cutting all ties to Trump by releasing whatever damaging information he has on the alleged American president.
