  Biography: Nikita Khrushchev
Khrushchev honestly believed in the superiority of Communism, and felt that it was only a matter of time before it would destroy the Capitalist system once and for all.
Khrushchev's enthusiasm for flashy gestures had not been liked by more conservative elements from the very start; many Soviets were greatly embarrassed by his antics, such as banging a shoe on the podium during a speech to the UN General Assembly.
Khrushchev never regained his prestige after the incident, and was quietly ousted two years later by opponents in the Politburo--significantly, with no bloodshed.

Sergei, for example, invited me to go with him down to Khrushchev`s birthplace, this little village in southern Russia in `91, and then over to the city of Danetsk in eastern Ukraine, where Khrushchev grew to manhood, and then to Kiev, where Khrushchev ruled as Stalin`s viceroy.
But Sergei, I think, also would like to believe that Khrushchev didn`t know as much as I came to think he knew about what was going on in the `30s about the blood that was flowing.
I think Sergei, you know, wants to think well of him as a reformer, and I too think well of many of the things that he did but he made a mess of things in other ways and his reforms, in some ways, came to naught.

 Amazon.com: Khrushchev on Khrushchev: An Inside Account of the Man and His Era, by His Son: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Sergei Khrushchev writes of his father's fall from power and final years in sometimes rambling but occasionally astute detail, rendering a sympathetic portrait that captures the impetuosity and contradictoriness for which the First Secretary is so well remembered.
Born in the late 1930s, Sergei is perhaps too young to really know much about his father's role under Stalin, and his account is probably influenced by the current trend of Brezhnev-bashing, since that late statesman emerges here as the weakest and most depraved of characters.
K,' Sergei Khrushchev had a special perspective on this man and his time, and this is a must-read for anyone interested in the subject.

From Sergei Khrushchev, my colleague at Brown explaining a little bit of what may have been in his father’s mind when the idea arose to suggest the deployment of nuclear missiles in Cuba.

And Chairman Khrushchev was discovered to have suddenly, surreptitiously, secretly, under cover of deception, moved into Cuba, 90 miles from our shore, Soviet nuclear missiles of the medium and intermediate range class which were perfectly capable of reaching any major city in the United States and most of the western hemisphere.
