Yulia Khrushcheva: “Nikita Sergeevich's favorite dish was potato pancakes with sour cream. And he ate watermelon ... with white bread. The adopted daughter of Dmitry Malikov Olga Izakson achieved recognition and fame thanks to her talent The adopted daughter of Nikita Khrushchev Julia
Exactly 40 years ago, former head of the Soviet state Nikita Khrushchev died
The first granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev, Julia, was born in 1939 in Moscow. When the war began, her grandmother, Nina Petrovna Khrushcheva, evacuating with her three children to Kuibyshev (now Samara), took her daughter-in-law Lyuba and her granddaughter with her. Julia's father, Leonid Khrushchev, died at the front in 1943. Shortly thereafter, her mother was arrested on suspicion of espionage. The four-year-old girl stayed in Kuibyshev with Nina Petrovna, called her mom, and Nikita Sergeevich - dad. And he still treats them like family.
Now 72-year-old Yulia Leonidovna lives in Moscow.
“On the day of the funeral, the newspaper Pravda published a short message:“ Personal pensioner Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev died ”
- On September 1, 1971, Nikita Sergeevich called us home from his dacha in Petrovo-Dalny, - says Yulia Khrushcheva... - On this day, my daughter Nina went to first grade, and great-grandfather congratulated her on the beginning of her working life. A few days later, he was hospitalized with a heart attack at the Kuntsevo hospital. There dad was treated, he felt a little better. But the heart of a 77-year-old man still could not stand it. Doctors are not gods, especially since this heart attack was not the first ...
On the day of Nikita Sergeevich's death, the weather was warm and sunny in Moscow. As soon as I found out about my dad's death, I immediately went to Granovskogo Street, where he lived with Nina Petrovna. There were already Sergei, Rada (son and daughter of Nikita Sergeevich. - Author). We were going to discuss the place and time of the funeral, but from the Administrative Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU we were told: "We are burying on Monday at the Novodevichy cemetery." Actually, it was not help, but the organization of the process. For some reason, a civil funeral service in the hospital morgue was scheduled for 11 am. We asked to postpone the beginning of the farewell a couple of hours later so that the relatives could move in, but they refused us, they say, we need to strictly observe the schedule.
I think all this was done on purpose. The fewer people who came to say goodbye to Khrushchev, the better for the authorities.
- And they got their way?
- Not really. On Saturday, my dad died, and on Monday the newspaper Pravda published a short message: “Personal pensioner Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev has died.” Then there were no such radio stations as Kommersant-FM or Ekho Moskvy - people learned the news from the morning newspapers. And we have many relatives in Kiev (including the daughter of Nikita Khrushchev from his first marriage, Julia with her husband Viktor Gontar. - Auth.), and in other cities - not everyone had time to arrive.
Nevertheless, many people came to say goodbye to Khrushchev. Then the procession moved to the Novodevichy Convent, where they suddenly announced ... a cleaning day. Therefore, all approaches to the monastery were blocked by militiamen. Only foreign journalists and some of the Soviet ones were allowed through, with their IDs. However, one of my acquaintances, completely not Russian in appearance, who looked like a Tatar, introduced himself as the grandson of Nikita Sergeevich, and, oddly enough, he was also allowed to pass.
The funeral bus drove at high speed into the gate of the monastery and, bypassing the farewell platform, drove right up to the freshly dug grave. So they wanted to get rid of Khrushchev as soon as possible! Although, as you understand, there could not have been any worries then. People stood silently near the grave. A pouring autumn rain began to fall. Sergei Nikitich said: “Today even nature says goodbye to Nikita Sergeevich. Father was a man to whom no one was indifferent. He was either loved or hated ... "
Then came a woman, one of the victims of the GULAG, and Vadim, Sergei's classmate, the son of the repressed. That's the whole funeral service!
Mom arranged the funeral at the dacha. There we discussed with her, Sergei Nikitich and Sergo Mikoyan, which monument to put on the grave. We decided to contact Ernst Unknown. A couple of days later, Sergei contacted the brilliant sculptor, and he got down to work.
True, the monument was not allowed to be installed for a very long time. They said: "Make it smaller and not black and white, but red, not marble, but some other." Finally, in 1973, they gave the go-ahead. When the monument was being erected, it rained again, as on the day of the funeral.
“If our whole class left the astronomy lesson, only my parents and the parents of Nina Budennaya were called from school”
- Having become a member of the family, as they say now, of a government official, did you go to an elite school in the first grade?
- What do you mean! The school was very ordinary, two steps from home, so that it was convenient to walk. Until the fourth grade, I studied at the 61st Kiev school on Melnikova Street, on Lukyanovka. We lived nearby, in a mansion on Osievskaya street (now Artyom street. - Author). For some time after the liberation of Kiev, we still lived in Moscow, and in 1944 we settled in this mansion among the greenery, chestnuts and birdsong. It was this nature that Nikita Sergeevich adored.
In January 1949 they moved to Moscow. We lived in a state-owned apartment in the Government House on Granovsky Street. Here the school was also a stone's throw from home, on Semashko Street, now it's some kind of Sredny Kislovsky Lane. I remember there was a terrible frost on the street, and I really missed Kiev in cold Moscow.
- Did you, the granddaughter of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, receive any concessions in your studies?
- If our whole class left the astronomy lesson, only my parents and the parents of Nina Budennaya were called from school. Nobody else. And so - for any reason. With Nina Budennaya we studied in the same class, lived in the same house and are still friends.
Humanities subjects were given to me very well, but I don't remember anything from natural subjects. Unless, how many will be twice two. Once Nikita Sergeevich helped me solve a math problem. He easily grasped any technically difficult things. If daddy got higher education, he could become an outstanding engineer. I didn’t go for any medal, but I got a pretty decent certificate, with several grades in unloved subjects.
- You graduated from high school in 1956. At the same time, the historical XX Congress of the CPSU took place, at which Nikita Khrushchev made a closed report on the cult of personality ...
- This report of Khrushchev was sent out for review only to party organizations. But our school was taught history by a wonderful teacher Amalia Arkadyevna. In one of the lessons, she told us about the personality cult. In fact, in 1956, the topic of the personality cult was not discussed in schools. I don’t think that Amalia Arkadyevna had any special instructions in this regard, it’s just that she, as a professional historian, decided to tell her senior students about it.
- Did you know that Nikita Sergeevich and Nina Petrovna are your adoptive parents?
- I knew. But the fact that my father died at the front in 1943, and my mother lives and works in Kazakhstan, learned only before entering Moscow State University. Nina Petrovna told me about this so that I would fill out the applicant's application form correctly. A year later, when I turned 17, I met my mother.
Nina Petrovna was strict, restrained, very correct. It had everything: household, children, school. I think that she consulted with her husband only on global issues and did not pull him over trifles.
Nina Petrovna treated her duties as a wife and mother very responsibly. I cooked, cleaned, embroidered well and taught me a lot, even darn, which no one does now. Mom was always collected, energetic. When she was already living alone in Zhukovka - and Nina Petrovna died at 84 - she maintained perfect order in the house.
For some time before entering the university, my daughter Nina lived with her great-grandmother and became very friendly with her. Sending my daughter to Nina Petrovna, I knew that everything would be all right with her.
I am extremely grateful to Nikita Sergeevich and Nina Petrovna for everything, including the severity that reigned in our house.
“The day after his resignation, Nikita Sergeevich recited Nekrasov:“ Late autumn. The rooks flew away ... "
- What holiday was most loved in the Khrushchev family?
- May Day. And Nikita Sergeevich's favorite dish was potato pancakes with sour cream. As well as mine. And he called them in the Ukrainian way, because the Russians say "draniki". Nina Petrovna cooked them wonderfully. When, after the death of her husband, she lived in the country, I tried to come to her without warning. Because my mother was definitely preparing for my arrival: she cooked Ukrainian borsch, fried potato pancakes.
- Deruny go well with vodka.
- What do you! Dad was absolutely indifferent to drinking. Once, at a dacha in Petrovo-Dalny, I sipped wine. And then he did not allow me to get behind the wheel in order to go back, although I did not drink, but simply lifted the glass to my lips!
Nikita Sergeevich also loved to eat watermelon ... with white bread. I think I learned this when I lived in Ukraine.
- Did your grandfather like to remember the Ukrainian period?
- Nikita Sergeevich loved Ukraine very much, but he said almost nothing about this period of his life. He was not a very talkative person, most often he spent time thinking. He loved to listen to Ukrainian songs on the "Dnepr" tape recorder. We also recorded the singing of Ukrainian nightingales on a tape recorder. And Khrushchev preferred to rest in the Crimea, in Livadia.
On the beach he always read, swam a little. He never played dominoes or cards. I thought these activities were stupid. I agree with him. When I see cards in people's hands, I'm a beast, just like Nikita Sergeevich.
Our big family was fond of theater. We listened to all the operas at the Bolshoi. And they didn’t try, as do the theatergoers now, to get exclusively to the premiere. Then, and such a word was not heard. Nikita Sergeevich could raise his eyes from the newspaper and say: "Shouldn't we go to the theater?" I still love opera, I recognize Eugene Onegin from any note. We walked to Bolshoi from Granovsky Street, through the Alexandrovsky Garden and Manezhnaya Square.
- Do you remember the day when the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee resigned?
- It happened on October 13, 1964. It was a dry, warm autumn in Moscow. I lived with my little daughter in the country. The fact that the plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU satisfied the application of 70-year-old Khrushchev on retirement, I learned on October 14. I immediately went to the Lenin Hills, where Nikita Sergeevich's family lived in a government mansion. Mom was not there, she was resting in Karlovy Vary, and my dad and I spent the whole day together. He asked: "Are you free?" - "Free". - "Do you want to go to the dacha?" - "Of course!"
In the evening I was expecting guests, so I wanted to call back home, warn and clarify something. But Nikita Sergeevich said: "The phone is off!" and asked: "Do you have to come back?" “No, I'll go later,” I replied.
He and I collected fallen red-crimson maple leaves and talked about Nekrasov. Dad was very fond of the work of this poet, he knew many of his poems by heart. And on October 14 on the Lenin Hills Nikita Sergeevich recited “Late autumn. The rooks flew away ... "
- What expression of Nikita Sergeevich do you remember?
- My daughter Nina has been living and working in New York for 20 years. And it's very difficult for me to get used to this city. I remember how dad, talking at some event about his first trip to America, said: “I must tell you, comrades, that New York is terrible city!»
Now, having visited my daughter, I understand how this metropolis suppressed it. Nikita Sergeevich loved the forest, the river, the field, nature, and the protruding high houses and gorges-streets between them simply oppressed him.
And every time I go out on the street in New York - and it is especially "impressive" in the summer, I must say: "I must tell you, comrades, that New York is a terrible city!"
In Moscow, a train hit the granddaughter and adopted daughter of the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev... This was reported by sources of RIA Novosti in the police.
It is known that the tragedy occurred at the Solnechnaya station of the Kiev direction of the Moscow railway. 77 year old Yulia Khrushcheva hit the train Vnukovo - Moscow.
Khrushcheva's body was found a day after she was hit by a train.
The fact of the death of a woman born in 1940 was confirmed in the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for transport in the Central Federal District, but they did not specify the details. But in the information service of the metropolitan ambulance, they reported the death of a woman with that name and age.
“Yulia Leonidovna Khrushcheva died today at the age of 77,” they said.
According to a number of media outlets, the investigation is currently considering several versions of what happened.
"According to one version, the cause of death was careless behavior on the railway platform," the message says.
However, the version of suicide is not excluded. In particular, REN-TV journalists pointed out that investigators are working out the version that Khrushchev's granddaughter could commit suicide.
Julia Khrushcheva - daughter Leonid Khrushchev, the son of the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev from his first marriage. Yulia Khrushcheva's mother is the second wife of Leonid Sergeevich Love Sizykh.
Julia Khrushcheva was born in 1940 in Moscow. When the war began, her grandmother, Nina Petrovna Khrushcheva, evacuating with her three children to Kuibyshev (now Samara - FAN note), took her daughter-in-law Lyuba and her granddaughter with her. In 1943, Leonid Khrushchev, a former fighter pilot, did not return from a combat mission. Shortly thereafter, his wife Lyuba, Yulia's mother, was arrested on suspicion of espionage. The four-year-old girl stayed in Kuibyshev with Nina Petrovna. After that Nikita Khrushchev adopted the girl.
As Yulia herself recalled, she found out that her father died at the front, and her real mother lives and works in Kazakhstan, only before entering Moscow State University.
“Nina Petrovna told me about this so that I would fill out the applicant's application form correctly. A year later, when I turned 17, I met with my mother ", - quotes her publication" Facts and Comments ".
According to the woman, the wife of Nikita Khrushchev, Nina Petrovna was strict, restrained, very correct.
“It had everything: household, children, school. I think that she consulted with her husband only on global issues and did not push him over trifles. Nina Petrovna treated her duties as a wife and mother very responsibly. I cooked, cleaned, embroidered well and taught me a lot, even darn, which no one does now. Mom (since the Khrushchev family adopted their granddaughter, Yulia called her so - approx. FAN) was always collected, energetic. When she was already living alone in Zhukovka - and Nina Petrovna died at 84 - she kept perfect order in the house, "recalled the granddaughter of the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee.
“When I sent my daughter to Nina Petrovna, I knew that everything would be all right with her,” she said.
Yulia Khrushcheva always added that she was insanely grateful to Nikita Sergeevich and Nina Petrovna for everything, "including the severity that reigned in our house."
In August 2016, the daughter of the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev, Rada Adzhubei, died. She died in hospital at the age of 87.
Nikita Khrushchev's daughter from her second marriage was born in 1929 in Kiev. In 1952 she graduated from Moscow State University, after which she worked as a journalist. While still a student, she married her classmate Alexei Adzhubei, who was then the chief editor of the newspapers Komsomolskaya Pravda and Izvestia. For over 50 years Rada Adjubey has worked for the Science and Life magazine.
In 2007, Nikita Khrushchev's grandson died - Nikita Khrushchev, a journalist for the Moscow News newspaper. He died of a stroke at the Burdenko hospital in Moscow. As noted in the obituary, since January 2007 Khrushchev's grandson worked for the newspaper Soyuznoe Veche - the Union State of Russia and Belarus.
Nikita Khrushchev was in two marriages. In the first, he had a son Leonid and a daughter, Julia, in the second, daughters Rada and Elena, son Sergei.
Granddaughter and adopted daughter of Nikita Khrushcheva Julia died under the wheels of an electric train in New Moscow. According to the investigating authorities, the 77-year-old woman did not have time to react to the signals of the approaching train. The accident happened on Thursday, June 8, at about 09:00, but it became known much later.
According to the press service of the Moscow Interregional Investigation Department for Transport (MMSUT), an elderly local resident born in 1940 walked along the railway tracks in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Solnechnaya station of the Kiev direction of the Moscow railway.
“At that moment, an electric train was passing through the station on the Vnukovo - Moscow route. The woman did not have time to react to the high-volume signals given by the driver and was injured, "RIA Novosti quotes a representative of the department.
The victim died from her injuries at the scene. The investigating authorities are carrying out a set of necessary measures to verify all the circumstances and causes of the incident, the MMSUT reported.
“It has been established that the deceased is Yulia Khrushcheva, the granddaughter of one of the Soviet leaders - Nikita Khrushchev,” Interfax reports, citing a source.
The press service of the transport department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District confirmed that on Thursday morning, on the stretch of the Solnechnaya - Vnukovo stations, an electric train following the Vnukovo - Moscow route fatally injured a woman born in 1940. The name of the deceased was not named in the transport police.
At the same time, the information service of the Moscow ambulance confirmed the death of a woman of this age with the indicated name.
"Yulia Leonidovna Khrushcheva died today at the age of 77", - quotes the words of the interlocutor of RIA Novosti.
According to some reports, the woman died due to the fact that she crossed the railway tracks in an unidentified place. A source in the city's emergency services told TASS about this.

The funeral of Yulia Khrushcheva will be held on Tuesday, June 13, at the capital's Troyekurovsky cemetery, said her son-in-law Igor Makurin. Farewell to the deceased will take place there.
"On June 13, a funeral will take place at the Troekurovsky cemetery, and there will be a farewell party in the ritual hall at 14:00," Makurin informed.
Yulia Leonidovna's daughter Nina Khrushcheva told TASS that her mother worked for many years at the Yevgeny Vakhtangov State Academic Theater, and the day before her death she was at an evening in memory of Yuri Lyubimov.
“She was very fond of this theater and Yuri Petrovich Lyubimov. She wrote a chapter in a book dedicated to Lyubimov, which is due out soon. And the day before her death, she was at an evening dedicated to the memory of Lyubimov. She was very happy that she went there, ”said Nina Khrushcheva.
Actress Irina Kupchenko noted that she and Yulia Khrushcheva had been friends for many years and Kupchenko was the godmother of her grandson. According to the actress, Khrushcheva for a long time was the head of the literary section of the Vakhtangov Theater.
“Yulia Leonidovna was a very competent, educated, intelligent person. She had many connections - and this helped the theater. She was very faithful devoted person - like a brick wall, no, more like a granite wall, ”said Kupchenko.
Julia Khrushcheva was born in 1940 in the family of Leonid, the eldest son of the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev. She was his first granddaughter. In March 1943, Leonid, who fought as part of a fighter aircraft near Orel, did not return from a combat mission. He was declared missing, the remains have not been found so far.
In 2013, Yulia's mother, Lyubov Sizykh, who has lived almost her entire life in Kiev, revealed to the Ukrainian edition of Vzglyad some details of her daughter's life. The girl was born in 1940, and her parents first named her Yolanda - in honor of their friend, but Nikita Khrushchev's mother, Ksenia Ivanovna, strongly opposed such a name.
“The family listened to the opinion of the older generation, and we had to urgently find a way out of this situation. We began to call our daughter Yulka. And that is her name to this day, ”Sizykh said.
After the disappearance of Leonid Khrushchev, Yulia's mother was arrested on suspicion of espionage, and then sent to the camps. In 1948, she was released, but then she, along with other former prisoners, was sent into exile in Kazakhstan.
Until the age of 16, Julia considered Nikita Sergeevich to be a father, and Nina Petrovna as a mother, until the time came to fill out the documents for joining the Komsomol. Mother and daughter saw each other only in 1957.
“Nina Petrovna wrote that I could come and meet my daughter. Yulka opened the door, and the first thing I said was: "How amazingly you look like your father!" With my daughter, we immediately developed a good, warm relationship. After some time, I managed to find my son, at that time he was already 25 years old, ”said Lyubov Sizykh.
In August 2016, Nikita Khrushchev's daughter from her third marriage, journalist and publicist Rada Adzhubey, who worked for about 50 years in the magazine "Science and Life", died in a Moscow hospital at the age of 88.
Yulia Khrushcheva was born in 1940 in the family of Leonid Khrushchev, the son of the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee. Her father is a fighter pilot. During the Finnish campaign, he bombed the Mannerheim line. In the summer of 1941, Leonid's plane was shot down, and he himself was wounded. The pilot was treated for a long time in the rear, alternating procedures with merry carousing. And once, in a drunken argument, he tried to knock the bottle off his comrade's head with a shot, but he missed and hit him right in the forehead. For the murder of Leonid he was sentenced to eight years in camps "with serving part of the term at the front." And in March 1943, Senior Lieutenant Khrushchev did not return from a combat mission. This version is confirmed by his comrade, pilot Zamorin: "After the armor-piercing strike, Khrushchev's plane literally crumbled before my eyes."

According to another version, Leonid Khrushchev was shot down, captured and agreed to cooperate with the Germans. After that, allegedly on the personal order of Joseph Stalin, the SMERSH officers found the traitor and took him to Moscow. KGB General Mikhail Dokuchaev testified about what happened in the Kremlin: "Khrushchev burst into tears, and then began to sob. Like, the son is to blame, let him be severely punished, but not shot. Stalin said:" In the current situation, I can not help you. " Nikita fell to his knees. Begging, he began to crawl to Stalin's feet, crying and asking for mercy for his son. When the guards and doctors brought Nikita Sergeevich to his senses, he kept repeating: "Have mercy on your son, do not shoot ..."
Until his death, Khrushchev could not forgive Stalin for such humiliation: "Lenin once avenged the royal family for his brother, and I will avenge Stalin, let him be dead, for his son."
And even despite this information, there is no exact information about how Leonid died. Since there is no documentary evidence - only the memoirs of contemporaries. At the same time, it was the death of his son that became the reason for the indictments, which would later sound from the lips of Nikita Khrushchev against Joseph Stalin.
Yulia's mother, Lyubov Khrushcheva, was arrested immediately after the disappearance of Leonid - as a member of the family of a traitor to the Motherland. She was released only in the 1950s. However, Khrushchev was not at all interested in the fate of his daughter-in-law. They met by chance in the late 60s at some family evening. Nikita Sergeevich said dryly to her: "Hello, Lyuba!" - and that was the end of their communication.
Julia found out that she had a mother only at the age of 16, when she graduated from school. She had to apply to the university, and she was told everything. The girl was shocked - she considered her grandparents to be her parents.
Khrushchev dreamed that Julia would become a teacher or an agronomist. I believed that these are the most useful professions. But this was not interesting to her, and she worked for a long time at the Novosti press agency, and then was in charge of one of the Moscow theaters.
In the personal life of the "granddaughter-daughter", too, everything was not easy. The first husband of Yulia Khrushcheva was Nikolai Shmelev, a famous economist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He is one of the few who, during the years of perestroika, was not afraid to criticize the state's economic policy. Julia made an offer to her beloved man herself. “At six o'clock in the morning, the door of my room, where I was then my own master, opened, a sports bag was put on the threshold, and the little man said:“ I won't leave here anymore! ”Shmelev recalled more than once.
Khrushchev perceived his son-in-law ambiguously, because the young did not get married according to the canons, without an official marriage proposal. A couple of times with his son-in-law, the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee spoke in a raised voice. Reproached the young Shmelev, comparing him with Dorokhov from "War and Peace".
Julia and Nikolai lived in a communal apartment for about two years. And that was the happiest time of their marriage. Five years later, Nikolai left his wife. Khrushchev demanded an explanation from Yulia. She said that her husband had another. When Nikita Sergeevich asked, "Did you give grounds for this?" - answered: "I gave it."
Four months after the divorce, she gave birth to a daughter. And at the insistence of her father, she married her new friend, Lev Petrov, a journalist who simultaneously served in the GRU. She gave birth to two daughters, Nina and Xenia. In 1970, Petrov died.
Julia for 18 years hid her origin, becoming Petrova. And she took the name of her grandfather after Mikhail Gorbachev came to power.
Her daughter Nina went to study in America at Princeton in the late 1980s. Since then he has lived and worked in the USA. He is considered a great analyst in Russia. Divorced.
Another daughter of Yulia - Ksenia - lives in Russia. Her son, Khrushchev's great-grandson in this line, is named Nikita.
