BIOGRAPHY (CBS): NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV (Black/White, 1962, 24 Minutes)
Mike Wallace narrates this excellent overview of the life of an illiterate peasant who rose through the Russian communist party from its very bottom in the pre-boshevik years to political prominence during the Stalin years and ultimately to its top as the First Secretary, an episode completed just before the Cuban Missile Crisis.

PORTAITS OF POWER: NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV (Color, 1978, 23 Minutes)
Intelligent and scholarly analysis and insight into the man and his significance in the history of the Twentieth Century. Based on the book PORTRAITS OF POWER, written by Harrison Salisbury, who appears in and writes these episodes, and produced in part by The New York Times. Narrated by Henry Fonda.


Nikita Khrushchev, Russian general and politician, 7th Premier of the Soviet Union (April 15, 1894 - September 11, 1971) was born Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev in Kalinovka village in what is now Russia's Kursk Oblast. Khrushchev led the Soviet Union during a critical part of the Cold War. He served as First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, and as Chairman of the Council of Ministers, or Premier, from 1958 to 1964. During his rule, Khrushchev stunned the communist world with his denunciation of Stalin's crimes. Khrushchev was responsible for the de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union, for backing the progress of the early Soviet space program, and for several relatively liberal reforms in areas of domestic policy. After some false starts, and a narrowly avoided nuclear war over Cuba, he conducted successful negotiations with the United States to reduce Cold War tensions. His proclivity toward recklessness led the Kremlin leadership to strip him of power, replacing him with Leonid Brezhnev as First Secretary and Alexei Kosygin as Premier.
