A Khrushchev has words for an American president

Sixty nine years ago today the Russian Army took Berlin.

General Weidling surrendered to Soviet General Chuikov.

And this evening the Russian Army hovers   on the Ukrainian border. There have been riots in the western city of Odessa and in the east Donetsk is no longer under the control of Kiev.

Nina Khrushcheva, professor of international affairs at the New School University in New York and granddaughter of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, wrote in the Irish Examiner on Tuesday, April 29: "Obama may insist that Russia is nothing more than a regional power. But wishfully limiting Moscow's influence doesn't make Moscow less capable of wreaking havoc around the word."
