After a trip to Iowa in 1959, he became a huge enthusiast of corn and decided to introduce it to his country, a doomed obsession that would carry a huge cost to the Soviet Union in the years to come.

Re: Communist Corn Porn

Not to mention his idea of growing cotton in the centralasian republics, which led to an environmental disaster because of the need of artificial watering.

Good for the career - in 1959 she couldn't know that Kruchev would last only till 1964

And of cause the above is only because I always think as a historian - the real thing is that she hoped that she would feel the toy

Which btw wouldn't be bad for the career either
