Olga Zolotukhina Biography

A simple village woman, in a simple, ridiculous clothes. On the left is the incomparable, mysterious, elegant Jacqueline Kennedy. Previously, when this photograph caught my eye, he was awkward for the "ours" - a Russian grandmother and a secular lady. The photo has always served as an illustration of some civilizational "their" to show more superiority over our kurguziness.

And yesterday I read an article from the imperialist scientific journal about political communications before midnight. He stumbled there on one paragraph, which described how, during the visit of Khrushchev to the USA, Nina Petrovna, "stood aside together with Rockefeller, and they argued warmly about something." Then Rockefeller recalled that the wife of the Soviet Secretary General tried to convince him of the superiority of the socialist model of the economy over the capitalist.

Two things strained me: stood together. Then, how did she "convinced him" without a translator? And the second: what could this grandmother know about economic models? He climbed to look. I discovered my own knowledge gap. No, of course, I read the memories of Khrushchev himself and a lot of things written by his son. But the image of Nina Petrovna for me remained somewhere on the periphery.

In another imperialist publication, and then in domestic sources he learned that Khrushchev and Rockefeller spoke in pure English, which she knew perfectly - began to teach him in the year. And before that she learned and freely owned Polish, Ukrainian, French. And in general, Nina Petrovna, unlike her husband, was perfectly educated: until 12 years old she studied at her native Kholm school, then left for Lublin, where she continued her education.

After that there was a Mariinsky women's school. In X received an education at the Communist University. Her labor career is a teacher of political economy in various party educational institutions. After that, I had no doubt that the image of a village simpleton for this highly educated woman was a presentation of something else now, if you look at this well-known photo, then you read in the gaze of this "cold" a sense of confidence of a woman who knows the price.

She knows very well who Jacqueline is - elegant, sophisticated, but what did she see in life, what and with whose help she achieved? Nina could tell her how she served as a revolutionary affair by an agitator on the Polish front, as well as Jacqueline would hardly have understood this and then everything already seems different: it turned out that the Soviet first ladies, the wives of other higher party leaders often exceeded their husbands with education and horizons.
