- ... I did not write a political biography of Khrushchev - this is an occupation for historians. It is good that such a biography did not appear in our country during the life of Nikita Sergeevich - it would hardly be true. I do not enter into an argument with anyone, because everyone is entitled to their own point of view. The measure of decency and responsibility is also purely individual. When I was thinking about how to build a narrative about the now distant years, it seemed to me important not so much to follow chronological steps or try to draw an exact scheme of events, in all their volume and variety - and such work is not within my power - but to compose a picture from strokes and actual sketches about people, events, about joyful and sorrowful, not only about Khrushchev ... Alexey Adzhubey, husband of Rada Nikitichna Khrushcheva, editor-in-chief of the Komsomolskaya Pravda and Izvestia newspapers. Adjubey decided to publish his memoirs about his test and his difficult time only at the height of perestroika.
