Nikita Khruschev

[RedRalph]

What exactly was the shoe incident? I have this image of a Pole throwing a shoe at Krushchev.

Supposedly, Khruschev nearly threw his shoe at the Phillipno ambassador to the UN, thought its never been proved

That would be even better than the Bush shoe-throwing incident. Head-of-state > journalist.

He definitely called him a prick and an american stooge though. Now that I think of it Khruschev and Chavez arent that different

Fantastic. I thought it was Chavez that got insulted, not the other way around?

He calls Bush a prick several times a day

Umm, afaik he was not given word during UN assembly, so he used his shoe to bang on a table to get attention.

Even now?

@Yeekim: Not as awesome, but still sweet.

I'm talking about the incident where he ripped his shoe off and started smashing his table with it in the UN.

We'll show you "Kuzkinu mat'!"

And old Nikita once said "we will bury you" to the capitalist world; and that is always handy to make fun of communists.

I think "we will bury you" is the translation of "we will show you Kuzkinu mat' ", which is not exactly accurate, but close enough

I'd translate it as "we will give you a good bashing"

 

[Yeekim]

Didn't he also make a promise that Soviet Union will reach true Communism in 1984 (or was it 1988? I may be mistaken).
While ago I was thinking of PM-ing luceafarul that apparently this promise coming to truth is more likely than him completing his long-awaited history quiz, but didn't get around to it...

 

[red_elk]

Yes, 1980 IIRC
But he was displaced, that's why it didn't happen!!!

 

[RedRalph]

who are ye to critisies him? Get out... out into the Ash heap of history where ye belong

Well, not really, he was obviously wrong in his prediction. Can you think of any times capitalist or fascist leaders have been wrong in a prediction so I can use it to make fun of you?

Making fun of me because of something a fascist said is like making fun of you for something a muslim fundamentalist said.

But usually "capitalist leaders" don't say stuff like "we will bury you" to half of the world.

That's right, they tell the largest country on earth that they're an evil empire.

Well played sir

 

[plarq]

We will bury you. In a literal way.

But well, how could post-Soviet Russians like him? The Crimea issue is driving Putin nuts!
For Ukrainians, not really.
