The Telegraph has some good stuff in it today. I haven't had time to read it all but as usual I checked the obit page first - well, at my age I might, just, get to read my own! Anyway, lo and behold, today features the late Sergei Kruschev, son of Nikita, the 'baldy guy' who frightened us all to death (not!) back in the early '60s when he tried to insert missiles into Cuba. Son Sergei eventually followed the example of Stalin's daughter and settled in America:
It was not until the end of the Cold War that Sergei Khrushchev was able to begin a new career – in America – and it did not take him long to decide that he liked the country: “Americans are very friendly. If you ask for directions in the street, they do not turn and hurry away, as if afraid, but show you right to where you want to go. And in Russia, all the computers are falling apart. Here, they work.”
Even so, with triple irony, his three sons remain firmly in Russia!
Blasted paywall. This would be a good story. America now has a loud minority and a political party trying to topple our history, mind our speech and do away with our Constitution. Sergei would be horrified to see the USSR rising here. Did the article mention any pounding of shoes on a podium?

Whitewall, the mad left always want to topple history, that is the only way they can obtain power and give us a 1984 existence. They have plenty of sheep following. The USA must stand firm or we all go down.
