In the 1950s, during Stalin's rule in the Soviet Union, relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were tense. At that time, the Soviet Union thought that the Americans were flood beasts, and the Americans thought that the Soviets were all evil devils. Moreover, Stalin was deeply prejudiced against the United States and unilaterally prevented the Soviet Union from reconciling with the United States. The supreme will of the Soviet Union has spoken, and the people below naturally do not dare to rebel, and their attitude was once very tough. Because of this, the United States has also had to organize its forces, and the two sides have engaged in countless wars, both overt and covert. If it were not for the fact that in World War II, the two sides were seriously injured because of their respective wars, and each had nuclear weapons, which is a large weapon, it is not impossible to launch a large war. This situation remained until Khrushchev came to power. After Khrushchev came to power, he criticized the shortcomings of the Stalin model and completely rejected it. Although the Soviet Union was a world power at that time, it was in the industrial field and quite backward in the economic field, and if in the future it continued to focus its energy and money on the confrontation with the United States, the national economy would not improve in the slightest. The same is true in the United States.
At that time, the Berlin crisis occurred again, the Soviet Union demanded that the United States, Britain, and France withdraw their troops from Berlin within six months, but the United States said that it would not hesitate to fight a war, after which Mikoyan visited the United States, and the relations between the two sides eased. U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower took the opportunity to extend an invitation to Khrushchev, which happened to cater to Khrushchev's ideas, and gladly accepted. Finally, in 1959, Khrushchev began to visit the United States. After arriving in the United States, he made two eye-popping demands: First, he wanted to visit Disneyland. Second, he had lunch with Marilyn Monroe, the most famous movie star of the time.
However, the US side rejected Khrushchev's idea of visiting Disneyland on the grounds that it was not safe enough. For this reason, Khrushchev also made a big joke, saying that Disney would not install bombs, and could he still blow him up? Then you have to invite Marilyn Monroe to lunch. And when asked why he wanted to eat with Marilyn Monroe, Khrushchev said that the Soviets only knew that the United States had Coca-Cola and Marilyn Monroe.
In fact, the reason why Khrushchev asked to have lunch with Marilyn Monroe, on the one hand, he is also a normal man, even if he is middle-aged, he still has a good feeling for beautiful women, especially Marilyn Monroe, a popular movie star in the world. Secondly, Marilyn Monroe not only attracts many male fans in China, but also the dream lover of many people. The influence in the world is also not small. And Khrushchev just wanted to use the influence of Marilyn Monroe to convey a meaning that the Soviet people were very friendly and not as evil as the Americans thought.
