Book Signing Set for Khrushchev’s Son
The son of former Soviet Union leader Nikita S. Khrushchev, who has written two books about his father’s life, will be in Thousand Oaks tonight for a book signing.
Sergei Khrushchev, a research fellow at Brown University, will be at Borders Books and Music at 7:30 p.m. to discuss his work as his father’s biographer and chronicler. He has written two books about the legendary Soviet Premier, “Khrushchev on Khrushchev” and “Nikita Khrushchev, Cruises and Missiles.”
Nikita S. Khrushchev may be best known to Americans for pounding his shoe on the table during diplomatic discussions at the United Nations in 1950, or butting heads with President John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. But to Soviets, he is probably best remembered for moving away from the policies of Joseph Stalin.
Those interested in attending the signing are encouraged to call for reservations. For information, call 449-9953.
