Communist Corn Porn
Nikita Khrushchev in 1959, showing Communist Party members of the Politburo the benefits of growing corn all over Russia (even in the cold climate areas)...   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.

Re: Communist Corn Porn
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 |
