Trump repeated with Putin's cult photo of Khrushchev and Nixon

In the second frame since 1959, former American Vice President Richard Nixon directs the same gesture towards the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev. The author left no signature to the collage, but gave rise to a lot of speculations, taking into account the context of the archival image. As already mentioned, this photo was taken in 1959 during the visit of the American Vice President Richard Nixon to Moscow during the Cold War.

The author of the frame is Elliott Ervitt. Khrushchev and Nixon are depicted at the American trading exhibition in the Moscow Park "Sokolniki" before its opening. Politicians stopped in front of American cuisine, where home appliances were presented - washing machines, toasters and juicers. There was a verbal altercation between them, called "kitchen debates".

Khrushchev said that Soviet citizens value more important things rather than luxury, and I ironically asked Nixon if there was a car that "puts food in his mouth and pushes it inside. " "You, Americans, expect Soviet people to be amazed. It's not. All these things are in our new apartments," he said. Nixon replied that there were no goals to surprise the Soviet citizens, the organizers wanted to "demonstrate our right to choose", and that all houses should not be built equally.

During the conversation, Nixon poked his finger in Khrushchev and stated, "We are rich and you are poor! We eat meat and you are cabbage. " According to eyewitnesses, Khrushchev did not find what to answer Nixon, and sent him to three devils. The Telegraph Reporter Edrian Blomfil noted the similarity of the pictures before the appearance of the collage.

In his opinion, the frame, published by the White House immediately after the meeting of Trump and Putin in Ankorridge, misleading: the atmosphere at the meeting of Russian and American presidents was warm, while Nixon and Khrushchev really argued. "Alaska's mood was completely different.
