  CNN Cold War - Profile: Nikita Khrushchev
Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev was born in 1894 to an illiterate peasant family in Kalinovka, a village near Russia's border with Ukraine.
To supplement his family's meager income he began working at an early age, but despite this, and despite his father's second job as a coal miner, Khrushchev's family was unable to survive as farmers.
It was the beginning of his activist career: at the age of 18, Khrushchev joined a group of workers who had organized a strike protesting working conditions.

The Chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, Nikita Khruschev, complained that he could not understand John Kennedy.
Nikita had summoned Knox to the Kremlin because he evidently wanted to advise JFK, via a private channel, that yes, Russia DID have missiles in Cuba.
United Nations Acting Secretary General U Thant sent identical letters to John and Nikita, recommending suspension of the blockade and cessation of further arms shipments to Cuba for two to three weeks, and offering "whatever services I may be able to perform."

While Khruschev insisted that the missiles were defensive, Kennedy ordered a naval quarantine of the island nation.
The symbolism of the tale sent by Khruschev to Kennedy is clear.
The immovable "cart and freight" could be compared to their individual positions concerning the missiles in Cuba, and after a struggle the parties do their separate ways, with the "load", Cuba and the uncomfortable situation surrounding it, remaining exactly as it was.

One of the less commented upon consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union--an event that, in many ways, Nikita Khruschev set in motion--is the access into Russian documents and society the event has provided to historians trying to understand and document various aspects of the Soviet Communist experience.
Professor Taubman has vividly captured the essence of Khruschev-the insecure bombastic and idiosyncratic nature of this truly unique historical figure who owed both his rise as well as his fall to his love-hate relationship with Stalin, the man who he supported wholeheartedly and then denounced and debunked.
Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev was a `simple' man. He was also an extraordinarily complex man full of internal contradictions and conflicts.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk said of the affair, "We were eyeball to eyeball, and the other fellow just blinked." That was, this month, right now, even as we speak, 44 short years ago.
