Podcast appearances and mentions of Nina Khrushcheva

Es el verano de 1982 y el espía de la KGB Oleg Gordievsky viaja desde Moscú para ocupar un puesto en la embajada soviética en Londres. Oriente y Occidente tienen una profunda desconfianza y desconocimiento mutuo, y como resultado, la Guerra Fría, que lleva ya casi 40 años, se está calentando. El juego del espionaje y la paranoia magnifican la sospecha entre las superpotencias, y una carrera armamentística amenaza con llevar al mundo al armagedón nuclear. Incluye entrevistas de archivo raramente escuchadas con Oleg Gordievsky y las cartas inéditas de Michael Bettaney, así como entrevistas con antiguos ayudantes de Margaret Thatcher y Ronald Reagan y antiguos oficiales de la KGB, el MI5 y el MI6, algunos de los cuales nunca antes habían hablado en público. Con la ayuda de Gordievsky, Gran Bretaña identifica a Mijail Gorbachov como un posible nuevo contendiente para líder soviético; podría ser el billete para mejorar las relaciones entre Oriente y Occidente. Pero los frágiles pasos hacia la diplomacia se ven amenazados por los intereses creados de otros espías que siguen atrapados en el viejo orden mundial. La CIA está decidida a descubrir quién es el superespía británico, pero su jefe de contrainteligencia soviética, Aldrich Ames, se está desilusionando. Se convierte en traidor por una suma insignificante y, poco después, Gordievsky es convocado de regreso a Rusia, donde corre un peligro casi seguro. El episodio incluye grabaciones de audio exclusivas de Aldrich Ames, entrevistas de audio de Oleg Gordievsky, entrevistas con ex oficiales de la KGB, el FBI, la CIA y el MI6, algunos de los cuales nunca habían hablado antes, así como colegas de Thatcher y Reagan. Es 1985 y Mijail Gorbachov es el nuevo y joven líder de la Unión Soviética en un momento muy tenso. Si bien ambos bandos tienen esperanzas de paz, han estado almacenando armas nucleares públicamente durante décadas. Ninguno de los dos lados quiere parecer débil. Thatcher y Reagan esperan que un nuevo liderazgo en el Kremlin ofrezca una oportunidad para un diálogo constructivo. El doble agente Oleg Gordievsky es fundamental en estas negociaciones, pero una repentina citación a Moscú por parte de sus jefes del KGB lo pone nervioso: ¿saben que está espiando en secreto para Gran Bretaña? Cuando llega a su apartamento de Moscú y descubre que se ha utilizado una cerradura que nunca gira, sus temores se confirman. Incluye grabaciones de audio exclusivas de Aldrich Ames, entrevistas de audio de Oleg Gordievsky y entrevistas con ex oficiales del KGB, la CIA, el FBI y el MI6, incluido uno de los oficiales del MI6 que rescató a Gordievsky. Otras entrevistas incluyen a colegas de Thatcher, Reagan y Gorbachov, y expertos con conexiones personales con la historia, como Susan Eisenhower y Nina Khrushcheva.

In Donald Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos he said, again, that he wants a peace deal with Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine, again suggested Canada could become part of America and again raised the spectre of tariffs that economists say could devastate the global economy, so what is the new American president's vision of the world order and how will he deal with China and Xi Jinping's claims over Taiwan? In his inaugural address President Trump said America would expand its territory, what does this actually mean? A future land grab? Or just a more aggressive American influence in parts of the world? And what does it mean for some of worlds' other strongmen, who have their own expansionist ambitions? In this episode of the Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Nina Khrushcheva, professor of international affairs at the New School, and Lindsey Hilsum, Channel 4 News' international editor. Produced by Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson, Amani Huges, Silvia Maresca and Ka Yee Mak.

It's déjà vu for US lawmakers, who failed yet again this week to agree on a solution to the country's immigration crisis. But beyond the politics are countless human stories, as the number of unauthorized immigrants crossing the border keeps reaching record highs, and a backlog of cases in US immigration courts passes three million. If this week's deal had passed in Congress, it would have been one of the most significant changes to US immigration policy in decades, evidence of just how long the issue has remained a stubborn political challenge. Jonathan Blitzer has covered the issue for years, and he joins the program.  Also on today's show: Nina Khrushcheva, Professor of International Affairs; journalist/author Calvin Trillin  Learn more about your ad choices.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led a failed mutiny against Vladimir Putin, was on a plane that crashed in western Russia, according to aviation officials. Authorities say all 10 people on board were killed after the private aircraft came down near the village of Kuzhenkino. Russian authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, amid heavy speculation. Today's Nick Robinson and Martha Kearney speaks to Nina Khrushcheva, Professor of international affairs at the New School University in New York, who joins us from Moscow, and Sergei Markov, Putin's former spokesperson. Later in the programme, we were joined by Timothy Snyder, Professor of History at Yale University, and Sir John Sawers, former Chief of MI6 and British Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

Russia's state news agency Tass reported that the country's most famous mercenary, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was on the passenger list for a flight that crashed on its way from Moscow to St. Petersburg on Wednesday, killing all ten people on board. Despite being on the passenger list, it's not clear Prigozhin was on the flight.As head of the Wagner Group, Prigozhin led an unsuccessful mutiny against the Russian military in June. He quickly stood down and struck a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin that would see him exiled to neighboring Belarus. That exile never came and questions swirled about what punishment, if any, Prigozhin would face for crossing Putin. NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Nina Khrushcheva. She is a professor of international affairs at The New School in New York City, and she's also the great-granddaughter of former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.

Speaking to DW's Conflict Zone after Moscow's "subdued" Victory Day parade, Nina Khrushcheva says, "the question of prestige is no longer that relevant for Putin."

The war on Ukraine is catastrophic for both parties. Ukraine has to bear widespread destruction of infrastructure and a terrible loss of life. The morale within the society is high, and if the country can prevail on the battlefield, the future appears dynamic. For Russia the situation is radically different, says political scientist Nina Khrushcheva, the first guest of the Dialogues for Tomorrow. Having divided her time between Moscow and the US during the past year, she has observed the changes in Russian society from within. How is Russian society developing in the shadow of war and political oppression? How secure is Putin's power and are their oppositional protagonists and structures apart form the Kremlin elite and the oligarchs? Is a change of power in Russia a plausible prospect, and what will Russia look like after the war, and after Putin? How much has been destroyed already by the loss of countless people who left the country, by the tightening of dictatorship and the breakdown of trade and political relations with Western countries? What will the future hold for Russia and for European and global power politics and global alliances? Philipp Blom (Historian and Author) speaks with Nina Khrushcheva (Professor of International Affairs, The New School, New York) about a society in meltdown and its future in the context of both its historical and political path, and of international security. Dialogues for Tomorrow Von der Klimalkatastrophe bis hin zu Demokratien in der Krise, neuen Kriegen und sozialen Kontroversen: Die Zukunft birgt enorme Herausforderungen.

Last week, President Biden signaled that he was willing and ready to engage with Vladimir Putin on peace talks.  But a day later, a Kremlin spokesperson dismissed those talks as unlikely, pointing to the unwillingness by the U.S. and other allies to recognize Russia's illegal annexation of new territories in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia continues to target Ukrainian civilian infrastructure with airstrikes, which has left millions of Ukrainians without power, heat, or running water as the cold winter months set in. We speak with Nina Khrushcheva, a professor of international affairs at the New School in New York and the great-granddaughter of former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, about where things stand in the war, and what shape peace talks could take.

One of the strongest storms ever to hit the US is causing catastrophic flooding and destruction across hundreds of miles. Speaking this morning, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the storm is “basically a 500-year flood event,” and the government confirms that Ian produced “one in a thousand-year rainfall” in some Florida locations. It embodies a trend in recent hurricanes, as warmer water – driven by climate change – fuels stronger, more destructive storms. UC Santa Barbara Professor of Environmental Politics Leah Stokes is a climate policy expert and joins the show to discuss.  Also on today's show: historian Nina Khrushcheva on what's behind Putin's annexation of Ukrainian territory; Katy Hessel, author of The Story of Art Without Men; Brennan Center for Justice Sr. Fellow Ted Johnson.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

The tributes have been pouring in as the world marks the passing of Mikhail Gorbachev, who died last night at 91. A titan of the 20th century, he was the last leader of the Soviet Union, who raised the Iron Curtain and – along with his American partner President Ronald Reagan – ended the Cold War. Ten years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Christiane spoke with President Gorbachev about the dissolution of the Soviet Union and his reflections a decade on. They had another, very different conversation in 2012, just after Vladimir Putin's re-election, during which he expressed worries about the authoritarian tendencies taking shape in Russia.  Also on today's show: Nina Khrushcheva, historian and great-granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev, who put up the Berlin Wall in 1961; former US Ambassador to Russia Thomas Pickering; Adam Entous on his New Yorker piece, The Untold History of the Biden Family.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

From October 31, 2015: Perhaps you've heard, but tensions between the United States and Russia are heating up. With Putin upping the ante in Syria, Marvin Kalb, journalist, scholar, and a nonresident senior fellow in Foreign Policy at Brookings, came to Brookings to launch his new book that looks at the Russian leader's last foray into another country. Entitled, Imperial Gamble: Putin, Ukraine, and the New Cold War. Putin's recent actions in Crimea, eastern Ukraine and, more recently, in Syria have provoked a sharp deterioration in East-West relations. Is this the beginning of a new Cold War, or is Putin just wearing the costume of a prizefighter?Joining the discussion were Thomas Friedman of the New York Times and Nina Khrushcheva, a professor at The New School. Brookings President Strobe Talbott provided introductory remarks while Martin Indyk, Executive Vice President of Brookings moderated the conversation.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Ukrainian President Zelensky on Saturday posted a video of himself bravely walking in the streets of the besieged capital city of Kyiv standing defiant as Russian forces close in bombarding the city and leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake. Zelensky's refusal to back down in the face of Vladimir Putin's aggression is being seen throughout the world as an inspiring David vs. Goliath battle that may yet end tragically for him and his country. But much depends on what is conceivably going on inside the head of Goliath. Why is Putin doing this? What does he really want? And what, if anything, can the west do to stop him. We talk to two renowned experts on Putin's Russia and Zelensky's Ukraine - Catherine Belton, a special correspondent for Reuters and the author of the book, Putin's People - and also Nina Khrushcheva, a professor of international relations at the New School and the great-granddaughter of another Russian leader, the late Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.GUEST:Catherine Belton (@CatherineBelton), Special correspondent for @Reuters, author of Putin's PeopleNina Khrushcheva (@ninakhrushcheva), HOSTS:Michael Isikoff (@Isikoff), Chief Investigative Correspondent, Yahoo NewsDaniel Klaidman (@dklaidman), Editor in Chief, Yahoo NewsVictoria Bassetti (@VBass), fellow, Brennan Center for Justice (contributing co-host)RESOURCES:Ukrainian President Zelensky's video "This is our land" - Here.Lastest Yahoo News article on Ukraine/Kyiv - Here.Pick. up Belton's book Putin's People - Here.

Russia expert Nina Khrushcheva and Trump impeachment hero Alexander Vindman explain what is driving Putin's assault on Ukraine — and how Republicans also have blood on their hands. Cohosts Emily Jane Fox and Joe Hagan interview two leading experts about Russia's invasion of Ukraine — how it happened and how it could reshape the world as we know it. First, Nina Krushcheva, a Russia expert and professor at the New School in New York, takes us inside the mind of Vladimir Putin, how he was underestimated and whether the cold, calculated ex-KGB man has finally succumbed to a world-historic megalomania. Next, Hagan talks to Alexander Vindman, the former Army Lt. Colonel and outspoken participant in Trump's first impeachment trial that revolved around the then president's attempts to dig up dirt on Joe Biden in Ukraine. Vindman reserves his harshest criticism for Putin sympathizers in the GOP: “These folks have blood on their hands. They're going to own this.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Tonight's guests are Matt Bradley, foreign correspondent for NBC News; Nina Khrushcheva, international affairs professor at The New School; and Courtney Kube, NBC News national security correspondent.

Tonight's guests are Richard Engel, NBC News chief foreign correspondent; Nina Khrushcheva, professor of international affairs at The New School; Barbara McQuade, former U.S. attorney; Tayhlor Coleman, Democratic strategist; and David Fahrenthold, investigative reporter for the New York Times.

The headlines over the past month have been dominated by one issue: Ukraine. In this episode of Divided States, Sky News US Correspondent Mark Stone talks to the great-granddaughter of one of Vladimir Putin's predecessors. Now a professor in New York, Nina Khrushcheva says the West continues to misunderstand the Russian psyche. And democratic strategist Mark Mellman defends President Biden against claims he's botching another foreign policy challenge.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that it is President Biden's time to make his mark on the Supreme Court with the unexpected news that Associate Justice Stephen Breyer plans to retire at the end of this term. Joy and her panel discuss Biden confirming that he is committed to filling the vacancy with a Black woman, and what the GOP opposition might be. Next, the Justice Department has opened an investigation into the fake election certificates submitted by pro-Trump Republicans in seven states. In five of those states, the Republicans not only forged official documents--they also impersonated real electors in an effort to falsify the results and award Donald Trump the presidency. Plus, with Ukraine under growing threat from a Russian invasion, the United States has been clear that while there is still a diplomatic path forward to ease tensions, Russia should not test U.S. resolve to inflict severe consequences, if they choose the wrong path. Nina Khrushcheva, associate dean and professor of international affairs at the New School, joins The ReidOut to discuss. Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy Reid excoriates Texas Republicans at the forefront of the book banning trend, who are in part egged on by right-wing advocacy groups rebranding their anti-intellectual, anti-history antics as "parents' rights." All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Congressman Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) joins the show to discuss perhaps challenging for her seat in the primary; top expert on Russia and Khruschev's great-granddaughter Nina Khrushcheva breaks down the critical situation between Russia and Ukraine; a small Alabama town has a big policing problem – local legal expert Carla Crowder joins to talk policing-for-profit.

As the Russian Troops shocked many observers by pulling out from Kazakhstan, the FPA hosted Nina Khrushcheva, New School professor and grand-daughter of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, to discuss the local and global implications of the affair with FPA President who had previously worked in the country. It was clear that the foreign interference was conjured up but the authorities in Russia and Khazakhstan and that there were plenty of reasons for locals to protest, but also a strong suspicion that clan supporters of the previous avaricious strongman Nazarbayev, worried about being sidelined by his replacement, were implicated in the violence. Getting Nazarbayev's hand out of the till is a step forward, even though no one is sure where he is now, but he was masterful at balancing domestic and geopolitical influences. The cloud of uncertainty will spread across the region, with global implications.

“Đồng chí Stalin đã bỏ qua những phương pháp thuyết phục và giáo dục của Lenin, thay cuộc đấu tranh tư tưởng bằng phương pháp bạo lực hành chính, đàn áp và khủng bố hàng loạt. Stalin thiên về sử dụng những tổ chức công quyền của Nhà nước và trong hành dộng, đồng chí thường xuyên vi phạm những chuẩn mực đạo đức và luật pháp Xô-viết”. Trích đoạn nói trên trong bài phát biểu nổi tiếng của lãnh tụ Xô-viết Nikita Khrushchev, được vang lên tròn 65 năm trước đây tại phiên họp kín vào ngày cuối của Đại hội đảng Cộng sản Liên Xô lần thứ 20 (25/2/1956), cho dù còn rất nhẹ nhàng so với sức nặng của tội ác mà nhà “độc tài đỏ” Stalin đã gây ra, nhưng cũng khiến cả thế giới cộng sản bàng hoàng và chấn động. Vào khoảnh khắc bấy giờ, được coi là một cơn đại địa chấn, một trái bom nguyên tử khổng lồ được tung ra, bản báo cáo mật mang tựa đề “Về tệ sùng bái cá nhân và những hậu quả của nó” lần đầu tiên vạch trần một số tội ác của “Đại nguyên soái” Stalin tuy đã qua đời được 3 năm, nhưng vẫn trong vầng hào quang của một thủ lĩnh chiến thắng phát-xít Đức hơn 10 về trước. 65 năm sau ngày “tờ trình bí mật của Khrushchev” - tên gọi của bản báo cáo trong một số tư liệu Việt ngữ - lần đầu tiên chính thức lên án người tiền nhiệm Stalin, sự đánh giá của dân Nga hiện tại với “Ông chủ của điện Kremlin” một thời như thế nào? Phải chăng, sự tố cáo đến từ chính thủ lĩnh cộng sản tối cao một thời cũng không có ảnh hưởng nhiều tới góc nhìn của dân Nga? Bản cáo trạng kéo dài 4 giờ Với sự tham gia của gần 1.500 đại biểu cùng 55 phái đoàn của các đảng Cộng sản ngoại quốc, Đại hội lần thứ 20 đảng Cộng sản Liên Xô khai mạc ngày 14/2/1956 tại Matxcơva và trong gần 2 tuần đầu, không có gì đáng kể diễn ra. Vẫn là những khâu hiệu mang tính tuyên truyền, như mục tiêu “đuổi kịp và vượt” các nước tư bản phát triển nhất trong giai đoạn lịch sử ngắn nhất. Đột ngột đối với nhiều người, trong phiên họp kín vào ngày cuối, bí thư thư nhất Nikita Khrushchev có bài phát biểu “động trời”, vạch trần cái gọi là “tệ sùng bái cá nhân” và những hiện tượng, hậu quả đi kèm của nó, khiến Đại hội 20 đi vào lịch sử. Các đại biểu sững sờ và kinh ngạc khi được nghe từ miệng một lãnh tụ cộng sản danh sách những tội ác khủng khiếp của Stalin. Đó là những đợt thanh trừng phi pháp, những biện pháp nhục hình về tinh thần và thể xác do chính Stalin thông qua, là việc Stalin đã sát hại già nửa số đại biểu của Đại hội 17, đã tự làm suy yếu mình trước chiến tranh với Đức bằng cách tiêu diệt đại đa số Ban lãnh đạo Hồng quân gồm cả những tướng lĩnh và nguyên soái từng vào sinh ra tử, “công thần” của thể chế Bolshevik. Khrushchev còn nhắc đến phong cách lãnh đạo méo mó của “Ông chủ”, đến chứng đa nghi ở mức cuồng, bệnh hoạn, “nhìn đâu cũng thấy địch”, khiến hàng triệu người thiệt mạng oan uổng, và đến sự thần thánh hóa lãnh tụ đến mức lố bịch xung quanh Stalin. Theo các ghi chép, nhiều đại biểu đã kêu trời đau đớn, thậm chí đã ngất đi khi biết tội ác của “thần tượng”. Sau bài phát biểu, không có phần thảo luận công khai, các đoàn đại biểu ngoại quốc được thông báo riêng. Tuy nhiên, bản báo cáo “mật” vẫn được lọt sang Phương Tây khá nhanh chóng - có thể do chính Khrushchev và “ê-kíp” của ông cố tình cho rò rỉ - và được in lần đầu tại Washington. Tại Liên Xô, sau đó, bài phát biểu có được cho “phổ biến” tại các cơ sở đảng địa phương. Tuy nhiên, nguyên văn của báo cáo được giữ kín, không công khai trong vòng 33 năm! Chỉ đến ngày 5/4/1989, chương trình “Vremya” của Đài Truyền hình Liên Xô đưa ra tuyên bố đặc biệt: lần đầu, trên tinh thần “công khai hóa” (glasnost), tờ “Izvestia” - cơ quan ngôn luận của Trung ương đảng Cộng sản Liên Xô - đăng tải toàn văn bài phát biểu trong số thứ 3 của năm. Như vậy, không thể nói là người dân Xô-viết xưa, và dân Liên bang Nga hiện tại không biết tới cách đánh giá chính thống về Stalin. Hơn thế nữa, trong lịch sử, báo cáo “mật” còn là động lực cho các biến chuyển dân chủ ở Ba Lan và Hungary, cũng như, cho phong trào“Bách hoa tề phóng - Cách gia tranh minh” ở Trung Quốc, hay “Nhân văn Giai phẩm” ở Việt Nam năm 1956. Vẫn là “anh hùng dân tộc”? Trên cái nền ấy, có thể khó hiểu khi trong những năm gần đây, càng ngày, sự đánh giá về Stalin càng trở nên tích cực ở nước Nga của Putin, mà phương Tây cũng xem như một nhà độc tài. Những thăm dò gần đây nhất, trước làn sóng dịch bệnh Covid-19 cách nay 2 năm, cho thấy có tới 70% dân Nga cho rằng sự nghiệp chính trị của Stalin là tích cực, tức là tăng 16% so với 3 năm trước đó. Khảo sát của Trung tâm Leveda - một viện thăm dò dư luận độc lập - cũng cho thấy, nếu vào năm 2016, có 31% số người được hỏi có ý kiến phản diện về Stalin, thì tỷ lệ này vào năm 2019 chỉ còn là 19%. Đặc biệt, có tới 45% cho rằng “quy” những tội ác cho Stalin là điều “thiếu công bằng”. Trước đó, 25% cho rằng những hành động của Stalin vào thời đó là “tất yếu về mặt chính trị”. Leonty Byzov, chuyên viên xã hội học thuộc Viện Hàn lâm Khoa học Nga cho rằng với một số người, Stalin còn được coi là “biểu tượng của công lý”. Một thăm dò khác cho thấy, 48% không hề muốn coi Stalin là có tội, và với nhiều người, tên tuổi của nhà độc tài gắn liền với chiến thắng của Liên Xô trước phát-xít Đức, niềm tự hào khiến 79% người được hỏi có mặt tại các buổi lễ lạt. Nhà cầm quân vĩ đại hay kẻ độc tài tội lỗi? Nhiều thập niên sau khi những tư liệu cho thấy cái gọi là “thiên tài quân sự” của Stalin là không tồn tại, hoặc chí ít cũng cần xem xét lại, xã hội Nga vẫn bị chia rẽ, chưa có câu trả lời đồng nhất. Trong mắt rất nhiều người, tội ác của Stalin không có ý nghĩa gì lớn, bên cạnh việc ông đã dẫn dắt Liên Xô chiến thắng trong Thế chiến 2. Góc nhìn ấy có thể là nguy hiểm, vì những tội ác của thể chế Stalin và con số những nạn nhân của nó từ lâu nay đã được giới sử học vạch ra khá rõ ràng. Tổ chức Memorial (Hồi tưởng) của Nga, trong nỗ lực đấu tranh để tưởng nhớ những nạn nhân của “kỷ nguyên Stalin”, cho hay có khoảng 10 triệu người chết đói, 6-7 triệu người bị tù đày vì lý do chính trị, và hơn 5 triệu bị đày ải. Thế nhưng, theo các khảo sát, Stalin vẫn được xếp vào hàng những nhân vật lịch sử quan trọng nhất của nước Nga, và trong tâm thức của một đại cường, ông vẫn được xem như người đã phục hồi vinh quang của đế chế này. Nhất là từ năm 2014, sau khi mối quan hệ giữa Nga và phương Tây ngày một căng thẳng, nước này càng cần hình ảnh những lãnh tụ ái quốc cứng rắn. Không phải ngẫu nhiên mà các kênh truyền hình Nga gần đây cho chiếu loạt phim mang tựa đề “Đất nước của những người Xô-viết”, hồi nhớ về những yếu nhân của bộ máy khủng bố và đàn áp Stalinist như Dzerzhinsky, Voroshilov, Molotov, Zhdanov hay Berya, khiến một số bình luận viên chính trị cho rằng, đây là một sự vinh danh những kẻ sát nhân, bên cạnh “ông trùm” Stalin. Nền “dân chủ cọc cạch” Việc những tội lỗi của Stalin dường như bị xóa nhòa trong mắt nhiều người dân Nga, có thể xuất phát từ chính ý đồ của Nikita Khrushchev khi chỉ coi đó là vấn đề của sự “sùng bái cá nhân”, chứ không phải bản chất của chính thể có cội nguồn từ Lenin, mà một nhà cách mạng cùng thời, bà Rosa Luxemburg ngay từ năm1918, đã vạch ra những “yếu huyệt” về sự độc đoán và phi dân chủ. Khrushchev muốn tách biệt Stalin khỏi Lenin, nhằm từ giã “kỷ nguyên Stalin” nhưng vẫn giữ được nguyên trạng vị thế lãnh đạo của giới cầm quyền cộng sản, nên những tội ác của Stalin - trong thực tế là môn đệ trung thành và xuất sắc của Lenin - có thể sẽ không thuyết phục nhiều người, cho rằng có thể lấy một số “thành tựu” của Liên Xô để biện minh cho mọi tệ hại của thể chế này. Rada Adzhubei, ái nữ của Khrushchev, không hề biết cha mình chuẩn bị làm điều gì vào năm 1956. Bà kể lại, cùng các bạn đồng môn ở đại học, bà vô cùng sững sờ trước bài phát biểu của cha, và bài phát biểu ấy đã khiến rất nhiều người trở nên cấp tiến hẳn lên. “Nhưng cha tôi, Khrushchev, giận dữ phản đối mọi biểu hiện hướng tới sự thanh toán thể chế Xô-viết, dù là ở Liên Xô hay Đông Âu”. “Nước Nga không bao giờ có thể phủ nhận hoàn toàn Stalin! Đây là một trong những lý do khiến chúng tôi dậm chân tại chỗ, thậm chí tụt hậu. Ngày nay, vẫn còn một số kẻ tìm cách làm mới, hoặc ít nhất cũng mô phỏng thể chế độc tài Stalin”. Đó là ý kiến cách đây nhiều năm của Yury Levada, tên tuổi lớn của nền xã hội học Nga, người từng sáng lập viện nghiên cứu dư luận mang tên ông. Người kế nhiệm ông tại đó, Vlagyimir Petukhov, thì khẳng định: “Người ta không lãng mạn hóa thể chế Stalin. Họ biết Stalin có nhiều tội ác, nhưng họ không muốn lịch sử Nhà nước [Xô-viết] cũng bị hủy hoại cùng với những kỷ niệm của ông ta”. Cháu gái của Khrushchev, bà Nina Khrushcheva, là giáo sư tại Mỹ, cho hay: Người Nga chúng tôi nhận ra rằng chúng tôi không hề thích được tự do (…) Sau khi Liên Xô sụp đổ năm 1991, sự vô chính phủ hoành hành. Đối với chúng tôi, dân chủ đồng nghĩa với hỗn loạn, tội phạm, nghèo đói, thổ hào cát cứ và sự thất vọng. Trong nhiều thế kỷ, chúng tôi tìm kiếm lòng tự trọng từ Nhà nước. Chúng tôi hoài nhớ những vị quân vương xưa, những người đảm bảo trật tự, khêu gợi cảm giác ái quốc và khiến chúng tôi tin rằng Nga là một dân tộc vĩ đại”. Ngay từ khi Putin mới nắm quyền được nhiệm kỳ đầu, bà Khrushchova đã cho rằng dân Nga cần một “lãnh tụ mạnh”, nếu có đáng sợ đi nữa cũng chả sao. Vì thế nước Nga mới sùng Putin, và theo bà cho dù người Nga không coi Putin là một Stalin mới, một “cha già dân tộc”, mà tìm thấy ở ông hiện thân của một người Nga bình thường, muốn yên ổn. “Đây cũng đã là một thứ dân chủ cọc cạch”. Và rất có thể, trong nền “dân chủ cọc cạch” ấy, Stalin - bên cạnh những tội ác tầy trời, vẫn được vinh danh và hoài niệm, kể cả sau khi tất cả những ai trải qua và được hưởng chút lợi nào đó ở thể chế cộng sản xưa đã không còn trên thế gian này, trái với dự đoán của nhiều cây bút thời “cải tổ” (perestroika) ở Liên Xô, cho rằng sự tồn tại của tâm lý sùng bái Stalin chỉ là vấn đề thời gian...
