When Nikita Khrushchev died in 1971, I was still a girl, but I remember him well. We used to visit him on the weekends on his farm at Petrovo Dalnee, about 30 miles outside of Moscow. I would work with him among the tomatoes or beehives. Although to me he was my kindly old great-grandfather, my family assured me that he was a great man, a world leader, a liberator -- someone I should be proud of.

We did it... We protested churchill. There was a collection of pro-Churchill moonbats that showed up, and we protested them as well.

Churchill, whose integrity has been challenged since news broke earlier last month of his paper blaming victims of 9-11 for the attacks, made an Indian-theme serigraph in 1981 called "Winter Attack" and printed 150 copies. But one of the buyers,...

...But this crisis is more than a test for Ukrainians. It is a test for those in the West who claim to favor democracy. Will the West sell out the Ukrainians? Does the West accept the notion that Ukraine belongs in Russia's sphere of influence, if not its actual empire? And will the West hold Mr. Putin to account if his ally Mr. Kuchma is allowed to steal the election for his designated successor? On present evidence the answers are not encouraging. The Europeans were quick to call the November 21 ballot a fraud, and some EU governments -- particularly...

George W. Bush: Man of the year Posted: December 31, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 Creators Syndicate, Inc. As Person of the Year, 2003, Time has chosen the American Soldier, a decision with which no patriot will quarrel. Whatever one believed about the necessity, wisdom or justice of the Iraq war, the American soldier did his duty and did it admirably well. But if the old standards had prevailed at Time – What man had the greatest impact on world affairs, for good or ill, in 2003? – the Man of the Year would have to have been George...

While recuperating from an assassination attempt in 1981, President Reagan wrote a heartfelt four-page letter to Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, asking if they could work together to reduce the tensions between their nations, according to a new book about Reagan's letters. The book, produced with the cooperation of Nancy Reagan and excerpted in Time magazine, suggests Reagan was more involved in the day-to-day responsibilities of the presidency than some of his critics and former aides have suggested. The Reagan in the letters seems a modest, plainspoken man driven by idealism. "My Dear Mr. President," he said in the Brezhnev letter,...

It is exactly 20 years since the former Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev, died.Good riddance too - Ivan The latter part of his 18 years as general secretary of the Communist Party saw the Soviet economy slide. And when Mikhail Gorbachev took over the post in 1985, the Brezhnev years were called "the era of stagnation". Brezhnev would not recognise Moscow now. 'Figure of scorn' The grey society over which he presided has been replaced by colourful, often brash capitalism. Yet many Russians remain nostalgic for the law and order of Brezhnev's Soviet Union. What tends to be forgotten is how...

" Bush = Brezhnev ": A German diplomat makes controversial comparison According to German wire service DPA, German magazine Spiegel reported that a high-ranking German official in foreign ministry likened the foreign policy of GW Bush to that of Leonid Brezhnev of Soviet Union. The newest edition of Spiegel (10/07/02 edition) reports that Klaus Chariot(?), who has been mentioned as the next interior minister of Germany compared, in a gathering with defense policy specialists, the Bush's policy toward Iraq with Brezhnev's in which Brezhnev justified his action of putting down "the Prage Spring", the reform movement by Czech communists in...

What a sad place New York City has become. A vibrant, disputatious town with a worldwide reputation for loud voices and strongly expressed opinions is tip-toeing around in whispers. Grief over the casualties of the twin towers massacre is not the reason (those wounds are slowly healing), but a stifling conformity which muzzles public discourse on US foreign policy, the war on terrorism and Israel. "If people knew I held these views, I wouldn't be able to stay in this job," an old college friend confided as I passed through the city for a few days last week. He was...
