Dr. Sergei Khrushchev Biography

As a Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute for International Studies, Dr. Khrushchev focuses his research on the former Soviet Union’s transition from a centralized to a decentralized society, as well as its transformation from a central to a market economy and its international security during this transition. One of his points of interest is the creation of a criminal society in Russia as a consequence of the mistakes in the early stages of market reformation. He is also interested in the history of the Cold War and the turning points in relations between the US and the Soviet Union in the Khrushchev, Eisenhower, and Kennedy periods.

Speech Topics

American and Russian Identities

Why don't Americans understand Russians? What distinguishes Russian civilization from American civilization? During the Cold War ignorance of the motives and way of thinking of the other side brought us periodically and needlessly to the brink of nuclear conflict. What causes the problem? Difference in the sources of civilization: the American culture is based on respect for laws; its roots go back to the laws of the Roman Empire. Russia prefers the "good will" of the sovereign, relying on the Byzantine concept of justice. It's not important who is in power in Russia: Tsar, Communist General Secretary or President - they are all made of the same cloth. Based on those differences - Khrushchev cites why democracy has become a swear word in Russia and explains the future of Russian market reforms.

The Cold Warrior Triangle: Eisenhower - Khrushchev - Kennedy

For those interested in the history of the Cold War, Khrushchev helps audiences understand what the Kremlin was thinking, what Nikita Khrushchev's true intentions were, and why a Third World War did not break out. Entrusted with his father's innermost thoughts during the editing of his memoirs, he discusses details known only to a small circle of people and mesmerizes audiences with rich background of behind-the-scenes life in the Soviet Union at the height of its power and influence.

The Future of Capitalism and Democracy in Russia

Sergei Khrushchev gives audiences the benefit of his insider's perspective on Russia - its politics and its people - to answer pressing questions of what's happening there right now. In this talk he assesses whether Russia is a good place to invest money or otherwise engage in business. He discusses why Russia has become a country with a criminal economy - was that simply chance or did it conform to some kind of law? Khrushchev explains why Russia has not turned into the flourishing democracy and productive free-market economy that the West had hoped for and assesses the prospects for meaningful reform to take hold. He further reveals the implications for the kind of democracy that is developing in Russia - which resembles a monarchy. This is the ultimate talk on Russia by one of its most intriguing natives.

The Soviet Road to the Moon

Sergei not only frequently discussed the Soviet space program with his father, he was personally involved with the Russian missile and lunar program. His talk provides insight into how decisions were made in the Kremlin and reveals how the missile race was viewed by Soviet leadership. He shows how Soviet designers competed more with each other than with Americans in the race for the moon and why had they survived, Khrushchev and Kennedy were close to an agreement on a joint flight to the moon.
