Khrushchev Remembers is a unique -- and enthralling -- historical first. Never before, in all the years since the great Russian Revolution, have we had access to the intimate political reminiscences of a Soviet leader. Never before have we had the opportunity to penetrate to the power center of the Kremlin itself -- as we do now in tehse absorbing, often shocking, sometimes bizarre, frequently ingenuous, occasionally humorous, always illuminating recollections of the man who sat at the summit of power in the modern Russian empire from 1953 until 1964 and whose impact on the outside world, particularly the Western world, was so vivid and unsettling. Includes an introduction, commentary, and notes.

Krushchev's own entertaining voice

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

Assuming this is authentic, and the author does take time to address reasons why it is, this is a fantastic book. It gives a very up front and personal look into the inner workings of one of the biggest experiments in human history. I had always remembered Krushchev as a big brutish thug threatening to "Bury" us, and also being Kennedy's adversary in the Cuban Missile Crisis. In this book however, far from being brutish Krushchev's voice is human, easily accessible, surprisingly witty and full of many personal anecdotes. Now of course, this must be taken with a grain of salt. By his account, good old Comrade Krushchev never participated in any purge and was completely oblivious to the suffering in the Ukraine (even while he was running it). And of course he was a big hero in the great Patriotic War. But even with all of its embellishments and factual omissions, this is a thoroughly entertaining read..You do come away with a sense of the personality of the man.

This volume, together with it sequel [Khrushchev Remembers: the Last Testament], is essential reading for a balanced view of recent history. As would be expected, a number of issues, which had at-that-time possible repercussions. were understandably elided, but I tend to trust Khrushchev's commentary more than I would most American sources. Elisions, yes: lies, no.

One of the best reads I've had in a long time

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016

Khrushchev had some real flaws (the man not the book). One of the best reads I've had in a long time. It gave me great insight into a particular time and place. Great insight into a man who deserves better American press. Had Kennedy lived, the two of them could have changed the course of history.

I read it. Much verbal abuse of Stalin and the way he ran things. Good explanation of why the Soviet Union failed.
