Russia Declares Khrushchev's Great-Granddaughter a Foreign Agent
On March 13, the Ministry of Justice of Russia included Professor Nina Khrushcheva — the great-granddaughter of the former first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, Nikita Khrushchev — in the register of "foreign agents". She lives in the USA and works at The New School in New York.

Nina Khrushcheva was born in Moscow in 1963, graduated from the Faculty of Philology at Moscow State University, and moved to the USA in the early 1990s, where she still lives. She has repeatedly criticized the Russian authorities, condemned the annexation of Crimea, and the war waged by Russia in Ukraine.
In an interview with Katerina Gordeeva in February, Khrushcheva called the transfer of Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR during her great-grandfather's rule a "managerial" decision by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and suggested that it was done to "tie" Ukraine to Russia.
Mikhail Sheremet, a State Duma deputy from annexed Crimea, then stated that Khrushcheva's words were uttered "in the spirit of traitors to Russia".
