| Title: | Khrushchev and Khrushchev : from the Kremlin to Brown University |
|---|---|
| Description: | The website "Khrushchev and Khrushchev: from the Kremlin to Brown University" is the online version of an exhibition organised and hosted by Brown University Library in 2002. It focuses on the visit by the Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev (1894-1971, premier 1954-1964) to the United States of America in October 1960. The second Krushchev of the exhibition title is his son Sergei Krushchev, who famously took American citizenship in 1999 and donated his father's papers to Brown University Library. The exhibition provides a wonderful insight, through annotated illustrations, into the importance of presenting a unified front in the face of the communist leader. There are sections devoted to Nikita Krushchev, Sergei Krushchev, the publications of Sergie Krushchev, and the memoirs of Nikita Krushchev. Krushchev's memoirs were painstakingly dictated onto a number of tape reels and fortunately copied and deposited in various places. There is currently a project to record and transcribe the materials onto CD-ROM. In addition to the illustrations there is also useful bibliographical information. This site is excellent for those who are researching Soviet history or Soviet-American relations. It also stands alone as an interesting online exhibition. |
