William Chase Taubman (born November 13, 1941 in New York City) is an American political scientist. His biography of Nikita Khrushchev won the P…ulitzer Prize for Biography in 2004 and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography in 2003. He received a B.A. from Harvard University in 1962, an M.A. from Columbia University in 1965, a Certificate of the Russian Institute in 1965, and a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1969. He was Bertrand Snell Professor of Political Science at Amherst College. Sergei Nikitich Khrushchev (2 July 1935 - 18 June 2020) was a Russian engineer and the second son of the Cold War-era Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev with his wife Nina Petrovna Khrushcheva. He moved to the United States in 1991 and became a naturalized American citizen. Khrushchev served as an advisor to The Cold War Museum. He was a Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. Abbott Gleason (21 July 1938 - 25 December 2015) was professor emeritus of history and faculty member at the Watson Institute, Brown University. He graduated from Harvard University. What was known about Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev during his career was strictly limited by the secretive Soviet government. Little more information was available after he was ousted and became a non-person in the USSR in 1964. This pathbreaking book draws for the first time on a wealth of newly released materials, documents from secret former Soviet archives, memoirs of long-silent witnesses, the full memoirs of the premier himself, to assemble the best-informed analysis of the Khrushchev years ever completed. The contributors to this volume include Russian, Ukrainian, American, and British scholars; a former key foreign policy aide to Khrushchev; the executive secretary of a Russian commission investigating Soviet-era repressions and rehabilitations; and Khrushchev's own son Sergei. The book presents and interprets new information on Khrushchev's struggle for power, public attitudes toward him, his role in agricultural reform and cultural politics, and such foreign policy issues as East-West relations, nuclear strategy, and relations with Germany. It also chronicles Khrushchev's years in Ukraine where he grew up and began his political career, serving as Communist party boss from 1938 to 1949, and his role in mass repressions of the 1930s and in destalinization in the 1950s and 1960s. Two concluding chapters compare the regimes of Khrushchev and Gorbachev as they struggled to reform Communism, to humanize and modernize the Soviet system, and to answer the haunting question that persists today: Is Russia itself reformable.
