Good Lifestyle

Nina was the first wife of the Soviet political leader, which took over the typical role of the first lady. This woman played not the last role in the formation of the so-called "Khrushchev thaw", marked the collapse of Stalinism and the call for peaceful coexistence with other peoples. And if the Khrushchev councils were just the wife of the former leader, then for the West, it was one of the main political symbols of the new era.

Nina Khrushcheva was quite well formed. Definitely better than her spouse. In the end, once she was his political economy teacher. During the Bolshevik Revolution and Civil War, Nina worked as propaganda. In the mid-30s she had to end the activist movement. All Wine, the famous order of Stalin is to return women to the family and put an end to the feminist movement. Together with Nikita, she committed diplomatic trips to foreign countries, communicated in several languages. The spouses lived together for 49 years, while officially issued marriage only when Khrushcheva was removed from the post of the Secretary General of the CPSU Central Committee.

In September 1959, spouses visited the United States for the first time. It was difficult to find at least one Western journalist who would not have resicted from a caustic comment towards the first lady of the USSR. Peasant face, bad figure, tasteless outfits and terrible hairstyle. Nevertheless, if you look at her joint pictures with Meimi Eisenhuer, you can safely make a conclusion - Khrushchev is dressed much more appropriate and elegant compared to the wife of the American president with its frank neckline and deposited with jewels.

Over time, the charm of Khrushchev will conquered the public. The Americans have impressed her cheerful character and maternal compassion. Khrushcheva urged to sink atomic bombs in the deepest part of the ocean and live without weapons as good neighbors. One American reporter wrote in his article: "There was a feeling that anyone who had common sense to marry such a woman could not be a complete villain, no matter what he did during the Stalinist regime."

In 1961, a married couple arrived in Vienna to meet with John and Jacqueline Kennedy. The joint photo of the first lady became a real sensation - the contrast between women was amazing. Despite the fact that Khrushcheva's dress was sewn from natural silk, journalists called him a homely bathrobe, and her own - "Russian Mother" or just "grandmother". However, to compare the style of two women with a huge difference in the age of at least weird. At the time of the legendary meeting, Nina Khrushcheva was 60 years old, and Jacqueline Kennedy - 32.

It's funny, but looking at the pictures, it seems that Khrushchev are the owners of the meeting, and John and Jacqueline, as if they came to buy to their elderly Uncle and aunt. Nikita proudly assumed the role of a teacher for a young and inexperienced Kennedy, who decided to play a big policy.

An understandable thing, Khrushcheva could afford and dear outfits, and decorations, but it was not in her character. Refusal of luxury and maximum demonstration of proximity to the simple people - in the behavior of the wife of the Secretary-General of the Party, ideological value has always been traced. And if the Jacqueline Kennedy subsequently became an icon of style, then good-natured and friendly Nina Khrushchev - a symbol of thaw and global change in politics.
