Khrushchev's grandfather bathed only 2 times in his lifetime.
One was when he was baptized at birth; the other was when the neighbors were ready to bury him after his death.
It was Khrushchev himself who said this. To prove their origins, they are the poorest people at the bottom.
His own family, the son of a serf, was slightly richer than his grandfather's family.
However, it was such a grassroots that rose step by step, and after Stalin's death on March 5, 1953, became the master of the world power that spanned asia and Europe.
As soon as it appeared, it brought a refreshing change to the world.
At the very least, he broke the history of Soviet leaders never going out of the country, and was the first to step out of the country, giving the Western world a glimpse of how this great man riding on a polar bear was different.
Compared with Stalin, his figure is short and strong, his eyes are small and sharp, his ears are prominent, his energy is exuberant, his fat head is big, and when he laughs, he has the enthusiasm and toughness of a migrant worker contractor.
In 1960, the CIA arranged for psychologists to judge his personality, and more than 20 psychologists and psychiatrists analyzed and believed that Khrushchev had mild mania.
He was always triumphant, energetic, self-righteous, but also witty and complacent.
He gave up his life to work, but he behaved frivolously, his mouth was unguarded, and his actions were mysterious.
He is particularly sociable, often in public mood, exaggerated behavior, like to be a strong hero in the eyes of others.
He has an unforgettable sense of guilt for offending others, cannot face himself alone, his thoughts sway from side to side, and he lacks a systematic understanding of the problem.
Even his wife, Nina, said, "He's either going all the way up or all the way down."
A bright milestone in the upward process was the statement made at the United Nations on October 12, 1960.
It was his last day at the United Nations conference in New York, and after he had been unfairly vilified by the speakers in the audience, he first raised his hand in protest, which was ignored by the President of the General Assembly, then tapped the table with his hand, still ignored, and finally could not bear it, got up and slammed the table continuously with his shoes.
It caused everyone to look at it.
This bright shot, first reported by american newspapers the next day, quickly spread around the world, making him a famous historical figure in the annals of history and shaking the ancient and modern.
So much so that we now refer to him, a more pronounced impression than his bare head, is that of leather shoes knocking on the table.
However, since it was only the soviet enemy of the United States, the details of knocking on the table were later controversial, focusing on:
1, did he knock with leather shoes in the end;
2, he knocked with whose leather shoes he used.
Because according to the photographic images at that time, Khrushchev did have a leather shoe on the table, but someone proved that he did not knock.
A journalist named James Ferron, who was also present and did not report on the incident that day, wrote in the New York Times on October 5, 1997, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, that he had seen Khrushchev not tapping the conference table with his shoes, but only holding up a shoe without laces and dangling it above his head in demonstration.
Historians have no way of examining this detail, because there are no videos, only photographs.
Even Khrushchev's son, Shegheel, did not prove in his lifetime whether his father had knocked on the table at that time.
However, he and his father, as well as Khrushchev's son-in-law, Ajubeyi, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Izvestia, have said on different occasions and in different forms that he has indeed knocked.
The specific details vary:
a, Khrushchev himself memoirs:
Knocked, using his own shoes, bending down to take them off and knocking;
Reason: The Spanish problem, the little brother of the United States, the Philippines, publicly slandered Soviet colonialism.
b, Khrushchev's presence guard, Zakharov:
Knocked, using a brown leather shoe taken off from his feet, rhythmically and slowly knocked;
Why: The presiding officer did not allow him to speak, and the Philippine representatives at the table were constantly denigrating the Soviet Union.
c, Khrushchev's son, Sergei:
Knocked, or with American leather sandals, No. 39, this shoe has been in my house for a long time;
Background: This is what Sergeyr, an immigrant to the United States, said in an interview with a Russian reporter in 2005.
Sergeyer, who became a U.S. citizen in 1991, said that the Soviet delegation had been fined by the United Nations for his father's knocking on the table, the amount of which was also disputed, most credibly, $10,000.
d: The waitress at the venue at the time:
Knocked, with their own shoes;
Background: His shoes were stepped on by the reporters who were chasing him for interviews, and in a hurry, she picked them up for him, wrapped them in a tablecloth and gave them to him, which he did not wear before he could wear them, took them to the table, placed them on the table, and later knocked them with it.
Some reporters said that this picture is fake
e: "Declassified archives" that cannot be witnessed:
Knocked, using the shoes of representatives of neighboring Arab countries;
Background: When the Arab representative was asleep, Khrushchev bent down to pick up his watch that had fallen on the ground, and picked up the shoes that the neighbor had taken off after sleeping, and used it as a shock. Because people see that Khrushchev has always been two shoes on the feet.
Later, Khrushchev also thanked the Arab representative for mailing a pair of shoes every year.
……
All of the above, gossip and strange, the core controversy lies in who the shoes are.
Different versions of the p-graph make the event confusing
In fact, paying attention to this has deviated from the theme, and the reason why Xiaofu has attracted attention in the United Nations General Assembly, no matter how he shocked the four seats, used the word "strong" vulgarly.
Moreover, it was not the first time he had been so strong, and he was not ashamed of it, but rather complacent.
According to the Complete Biography of Khrushchev, after the meeting, everyone was embarrassed and frustrated at the station of the Soviet delegation.
His diplomat, Gromyko, was so angry that his lips were blue. But Khrushchev, as if nothing had happened, still laughed out loud, saying that it was necessary to "inject a little life into the dull atmosphere of the United Nations".
This is Khrushchev.
