Perhaps the most historically important gun to reach the market; Gifts of state are themselves rare, as since an Act of Congress in 1978, they have belonged to the nation and not the recipient; The magnificent shotgun, another one of which was given to President Eisenhower, comes with a copy of the thank you letter from McElroy to Khrushchev?Khrushchev?s visit lessened Cold War tensions and was a major reason the Cold War did not turn hot?"This gun is an embodiment of Nikita Khrushchev's policies in more ways than one: the diplomatic effort to make peace with the West, and the domestic reforms aimed to turn the military-industrial second into profitable enterprises operating on open civilian market,? says author Aleksei Morozovhttps://vimeo.com/1068197728?ProvenanceThis gift was given by the craftsmen in Izhevsk to Premier Khrushchev, who brought it from Moscow and instructed his foreign policy team to present it to Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy, a gift of state meant to symbolize a detente between the two nations. It was retained by McElroy and passed to his son, whose heirs sold it directly to us. It has never before been offered for sale and was not known to have survived.RarityThis is perhaps the most historically significant long gun, given its symbolism as a symbolic gift of state between the two dominant 20th powers at a crucial moment in the Cold War, ever offered for sale. There are no comparables on the public market. Gifts of state are themselves rare, as since an Act of Congress in 1978, they have belonged to the nation and not the recipientHistorical backgroundIn September 1959, the Soviet Premier, Nikita S. Khrushchev, visited the United States for about two weeks. This was the first visit by a Soviet head of state to America and was seen as a momentous occasion, absolutely dominating the news at the time. Khrushchev's fundamental purpose in making the trip was to gain a better understanding of what America was, and to promote mutual understanding between the Soviet Union and the United States on matters of importance to both. Khrushchev hoped that mutual understanding would eventually lead to peaceful coexistence, feeling his visit would be the first step on that road. Dr. Sergei Khrushchev - the son of the late Soviet Premier who made the trip with him and became a U.S. citizen in 1999 - considers this visit to be ?the beginning of the mutual interaction of the two worlds."On his trip, Khrushchev wanted to talk about politics with President Eisenhower and his senior officials, such as Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy: the need for a peace treaty between East Germany and the United States, the mutual advantages that would result from the establishment of trade relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, and most importantly, the necessity of complete and universal disarmament. Even though the U-2 spy-plane incident in May 1960, and Berlin Wall and Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 were setbacks, the ultimate success of Khrushchev's trip the United States in 1959 was increased interaction, a lessening of tensions, the 1962 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and a better comprehension of both nations? core Cold War positions, which was a major reason that the Cold War did not turn hot.Khrushchev?s hopes to establish a mutual understanding with the United States were embodied not merely by the exchange of views on certain issues so that the two sides understood the position of the other, but also understood the reasons each had for their perspectives. In Khrushchev?s mind, this mutual understanding also went beyond diplomacy and extended to seeing America's people, to letting them see him, to becoming familiar with American culture, and to experiencing what the United States had to offer. This was the success of the visit, which had a significant immediate impact on the Cold War.The backdrop for Khrushchev?s visit is essentially a history of the Cold War, which often threatened to get hot and lead to a nuclear holocaust. Following World War II, the uneasy wartime alliance between the United States and Great Britain on the one hand and the Soviet Union on the other began to unravel. By 1948 the Soviets installed communist governments in the countries of eastern Europe that had been liberated by the Red Army. The Americans and the British feared the permanent Soviet domination of eastern Europe and the threat of Soviet-influenced communist parties coming to power elsewhere. The Soviets, on the other hand, were determined to maintain control of eastern Europe and intent on spreading communism worldwide. The Cold War had solidified by 1947?48, when U.S. aid provided under the Marshall Plan to Western Europe had brought those countries under American influence. From 1948?53, the Soviets unsuccessfully blockaded the Western-held sectors of West Berlin; the United States and its European allies formed NATO; the Soviets exploded their first atomic warhead, thus ending the American monopoly on the atomic bomb; the Chinese communists came to power in mainland China; and the Soviet-supported communist government of North Korea invaded U.S.-supported South Korea in 1950, setting off an indecisive but bloody Korean War that lasted until 1953. Josef Stalin died in 1953, triggering a power struggle in which Khrushchev emerged victorious, and by 1956 he had consolidated his authority as First Secretary of the party's Central Committee. He then famously denounced the ?excesses? that occurred under Stalin and declared that he sought ?peaceful coexistence? with the United States.Regarding his trip, Khrushchev said he was ?curious to have a look at America?, and he visited not only Washington, D.C., but New York, California, Pennsylvania, Camp David, and even a farm in Iowa. The trip took twelve days, running from September 15-27, 1959. His arrival on the 15th was followed with a motorcade from the airport to downtown Washington. Spectators and several military bands lined the way as Eisenho.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Samizdat (Russian: ; [s m zdat]) was a key form of dissident activity across the Soviet bloc in which individuals reproduced censored publications by hand and passed the documents from reader to reader, thus building a foundation for the successful resistance of the 1980s. This grassroots practice to evade officially-imposed censorship was fraught with danger as harsh punishments were meted out to people caught possessing or copying censored materials. Vladimir Bukovsky defined it as follows: 'I myself create it, edit it, censor it, publish it, distribute it, and get imprisoned for it.'.…
