how could khrushchev do this to me? he and his office are literally locked in a closet for 6 days, go underground. so to speak, they talk there , decide what to do, and at 7:00 pm on october 22, kennedy announces to the whole world that the united states is beginning a blockade of cuba, and the blockade is an act of war. now it's khrushchev's turn to think how this kennedy could do this to me. why didn’t he just call or diplomatic mail didn’t send no instead, khrushchev declared war on me, i didn’t understand. america america did not understand khrushchev's distrust and arms race made the most acute crisis inevitable at stake was the fate of all mankind. on

the night when the presidium of the flight bureau was thinking about what to do in the event of an american attack on cuba on october 23, it was decided that the ussr should respond with a nuclear strike on the united states in the morning, khrushchev dictated his first letter to kennedy the letter was sharp and threatening the blockade is a violation of international norms and soviet ships would ignore american quarantines, he also accused kennedy of pushing the world into the abyss. ussr will be forced take any action it deems necessary.

let's say america who has the right to give that this is the prosecutor? readiness number one was too schizophrenic, that is , pilots were docked in the rockets, americans were sitting on planes. by doing the same they lifted strategic aviation into the air. on the night of october 23-24, khrushchev did not go home, but stayed in the kremlin, i was ready for any bad news and wanted to be able to react to them immediately, while khrushchev was sleeping general pliev. in cuba, he gave the order to the soviet troops to be ready to repel an american attack along with cuban troops at any moment. perhaps on the evening of october 24, khrushchev nevertheless made

a decision in the event of a us attack on cuba, he would respond with a nuclear strike on the united states, this testifies that the following at that time at the baikonur cosmodrome were preparing for the first in the history of mankind flight of a rocket with an automatic station to mars our rocket stood on starting position. we were preparing for the launch. at this moment, the command of the training ground received an order from moscow release the launch pad of some kind of mars when it comes to the outbreak of the third world war and put the same missile with a p7-nuke with a capacity of 3.5 m, aimed yes, the united states, the attention of the whole world was

riveted to the ocean near cuba, the flag of the ship approached to this blockade line, but between them there was a submarine, which was instructed that if you attack the ship you are guided by the situation, that is, the captain of this submarine, not khrushchev nikita when these ships approached the quarantine line, i was still a child. i was at school in the class set up a tv, and we all watched reporter walter crown kite move the ships. closer and closer to the quarantine line, and suddenly he said so thoughtfully, it seems to me that the third world

war will now begin. then he brought the earpiece to his ear and exclaimed oh god the ships stopped facing each other. right next to the line. the ships stood in quarantine, not moving for more than two hours, and then god's will, as we then thought, the soviet ships turned around and headed towards the ussr. to be honest, sometimes i think that if khrushchev had not retreated then, then we would not be sitting and talking now. american strategic aviation was ready for a global strike on cuba. in cuba, general pleev ordered the redeployment of soviet nuclear warheads closer to the starting positions. in one of the new jersey command posts, they decided that the russians had already begun to attack and informed the pentagon that the united states should immediately launch missiles, fortunately the officer in the pentagon who received this information

simply ignored it. khrushchev, of course, understood that after the first shot, diplomacy would go to war yesterday, and the generals, uh, they were brought up differently. they would have defended themselves in cuba with more than 60 tactical nuclear charges bombing mines cruise missiles and the wrong conversation allowed me decided to use them there is no connection, and they attack you, i bomb. and you know, they can bomb them all. immediately, of course, in this case, they would apply it is a tactical nuclear weapon.

on the night of october 24-25, khrushchev decided that the time had come to immediately stop this crazy run towards nuclear war. tomorrow may be too late. khrushchev began to dictate a new letter to kennedy mr. president, you and i should not pull the rope by two ends now. the stronger we pull it, the stronger this knot of war will be tied. at this time, in cuba, fidel castro arrived at the soviet embassy, ​​he and the ussr ambassador alexei alekseev sat down at the table, drank beer and said fidel was going to write a telegram khrushchev, if the us attack on cuba is really carried out, then there will be an

opportune moment to think about eliminating such a danger forever. you want to say that we must deliver a preventive strike against the enemy, we must get ahead of them and, in the event of aggression against cuba , wipe them off the face of the earth. the telegram with the fidel proposal went to moscow in moscow, khrushchev asked the members of the presidium what do you think, can the americans attack us right today? he did not receive an answer, and he dictated another letter to kennedy, we agree to withdraw from cuba everything that you consider offensive means, but the us should withdraw its similar means from turkey and give guarantees not to attack cuba. this hopeful letter from khrushchev came at the same time as other news

. a q2 reconnaissance aircraft has just been shot down by a soviet missile over bay upon learning of this, kennedy was shocked. he asked several times, as if not believing his ears, two of them were shot down. yes, he was beaten. but this is an escalation. how can all this be explained by khrushchev's nightly message and the beaten udva. before the president has become a nightmarish dilemma has just appeared hope that it is possible to avoid a nuclear catastrophe and suddenly. all us policy dictated that he strike back immediately, but kennedy decided against all odds to continue negotiations. he sent his brother robert to meet with the soviet ambassador anatoly dobrynin. the president is under intense pressure to order the start of hostilities, but he understands that a retaliatory

strike will be followed by a chain reaction that will be unstoppable. what about turkey if this is the only obstacle, then the president sees no insurmountable difficulties in resolving this issue. hearing this, dobrynin rushed to the soviet embassy to report to moscow. on sunday , the 28th, a meeting of the presidium of the central committee was convened; it took place, there are more. we now call the new ogaryov. gromyko's assistant called me and said that a telegram had come from our ambassador dobrynin from washington and his uh in conversation with i. robert kennedy said there that the situation is getting

out of control, that there are many people who have hands itch to fight, so to speak, with the soviet union, that the president cannot restrain such moods for a long time. and that, therefore, uh, they should get an answer to the offer that he made, and get it on sunday. 28 numbers or positive or negative answer? and all those present understood tomorrow, monday, the war. khrushchev decided not to waste time on ciphering the answer, but to transmit it in plain text via moscow radio. moscow speaks moscow speaks to the president of the

united states of america, john f. kennedy a peace-saving compromise was reached in which the soviet union agreed to withdraw from cuba. everything, the weapon that kennedy asked for in exchange for the us commitment not to attack cuba and eliminate the missile base in turkey of the caribbean crisis was cut. that day later, john f. kennedy went to church for sunday mass. an atheist, khrushchev, as expected on major holidays, drank a glass and went to the theater in the evening. the soviet people must know that their government is calm and self-confident.

did not have a surname. dmitry petrovich was born in 1872 in the village of tyunish, tula region, alexander zhulin's great-grandfather unexpectedly, alexander and his father find records of his numerous relatives about their existence in the family. they didn’t know anything, it turns out that the figure skater’s great-grandfather had nine children. vyacheslav aleksandrovich heard only about four of them. so 1905, so we have a prospectus here . corostela was born, too, i don’t know. yes , wow, now we have 906 here, here, too, here, you know, we had all nine children. yes

the homeland of his ancestors, and his father last visited the tyunezh 40 years ago. the village of tyunish is lost, on the very edge of the tula province, and getting there along the spring thaw is not so easy, especially if you trust the official road maps. alexandrovich has changed even the main landmark of the river and the gum

has dried up long ago. hello, you know i of course it was a long time ago. here, as it were , it is local. yes, so, i was oriented when there was an elastic band, because there was sloboda in front of it . here , the zhulins were here, here, here is a birch bark. the sloboda of another house is upstairs, there is sloboda, and upstairs there is an uncle. vanya lived frolov, here viktor lived here zhulin and azhulin, you don’t know who they were, it was his wife who remained maria dmitriy, his children remained dmitrievna alexander was in full certainty that all the zhulins, like his father, long ago left these places, who where does this go? my grandmother lived here, yes, the

grandmother of the field, who adopted her, grandmother maria brought her from moscow, but she will tell you about the settlement in volodya's costume. is it that our relatives turn out there? hello hello, hello. we are cousin hello this meeting comes as a complete surprise for alexander, he did not know that he had so many relatives. all of them have a common ancestor, dmitry petrovich, the same one, oh which alexander recognized in the archive in stickies more than others. can maria dmitrievna tell about him, his

daughter-in-law, please. well, tell me about my great-grandfather, about dmitry, that's what i would like to know about him, just that i know in a puddle that he was so strong, then, under old age, he’s a next uh-huh. he seems to be in church, so i heard. yes, you were a very strong, very strong man. he now takes such a hand and so he will tell if he had it. here he was scoring cola, even with a fist with a few blows of a horse. here is the cart. she says she can't handle it you push yourself. here from these gravity. he lost his sight. look further, probably, sasha is being lifted by a partner. this one is very hard. we have some kind of. yes, nas sura

and water judging by everything, great-grandfather dmitry was a unique person in rural conditions, he gave his children a good education, he managed the household so skillfully that it was. perhaps the most profitable in the district. in addition, alexander learns that his great-grandfather was fond of horse racing, he was very fond of horses and, by the way, was a good guy. that is, as an athlete. yes, from whom the sports went.

while alexander is looking for his relatives in the tyunezh, the expert of our program is studying photos from the family album, in which the figure skater's grandfather is depicted in military uniform. leather equipment of the commanding team, but, most likely, this young man was supposed to during the period when he held the position corresponding to the rank shown in this photo, junior kamon judging by the badges, grandfather alexander taught civil defense at the osaviakhim training center in the crimea cloth-gymnast such individual tailoring was issued only to cadets of military universities of the soviet union; now alexander zhulin knows where and by whom his grandfather served. the search continues in tyunezhe alexander zhulin decides to go to the temple, where his great- grandfathers served. before the revolution, dmitry kept the

same parish registers that he and his father studied in stickies. in tsarist russia, orthodox parishes performed the functions of registering and census in the registers of births they recorded when a person was born, what they called him, who his parents were, when he died in the confessional paintings , parishioners were kept regularly accounted for, attending confession and at holy communion, marriage searches were compiled before the wedding and testified that the bridegroom's bride were not relatives. most russian peasants in the 19th century already had surnames, but until the revolution, only the names of newborns and their parents were recorded in tuner registers from father alexander, the famous figure skater recognizes the name of the priest, thanks to whom the surname zhulin was first recorded

in official documents about some fragmentary such information. it is known that this is yur or sakharov , he was exiled into exile. no more practically about him, father george was repressed by the bolsheviks. during the years of soviet power, the temple was badly damaged and almost collapsed, but 20 years ago, the main attraction of the village of tyunezh began to be restored by the whole world. in general, the temple was built in 1803 by a landowner. uh, the khrushchev temple was being completed in 1818, but as a result of such completion, two warm limits were obtained the owner of not only all tyunezha. he owned a large

number of serfs, among whom were the ancestors of alexander zhulins. these temple walls were also built by their hands. yes, it’s beautiful . unfortunately , we can’t find any new documents in the tune, most of the papers were taken from here to the tula regional archive, before going there, alexander wants to find out where his ancestors came from in central russia, for this he needs to return to moscow alexander will soon find out what is pedal dancing. in which relations, his great-uncle was an american packard clipper and how in 10 minutes you can rush from the kremlin to your grandson alexander zhulin

continues to explore his pedigree, he uses the latest scientific achievements, he takes dna analysis in order to determine where his most distant ancestors lived millennia ago, these studies can give the most unexpected results while scientists examine the world champion's dna. alexander himself decides to learn more about his great-uncle's profession. vasily vasily zhulin, driver garage for special purposes, work in the soviet embassy in argentina, then in the united states in the mid- fifties served the top party leadership. great-uncle alexander zhulina was born in moscow in 1906 in the village of tyunezh, tula province. i myself have been driving for 25 years and i think that i drive a good car. but as it turned out, one of my relatives was a special driver different

from us mere mortal drivers. i'm interested. let's get a look. the first special driver in russia was graf orlov, the personal chauffeur of emperor nicholas ii, a passionate lover cars and soviet leaders were also not indifferent to luxury cars, but when choosing drivers, they were more interested not in their titles of skill and political reliability. how hard is it to get into the driver's seat? i think it's harder than getting into the national team. it is more difficult for russia in figure skating, because athletes there do not check like that. you must be crystal clear. i think for generations, like

alexander his great-uncle was an excellent athlete, otherwise in a special purpose garage. he would not have been taken by a skater trying to pass the elementary extreme driving tests, five full turns of the steering wheel in 22 seconds, alexander's grandfather vasily performed this exercise twice as fast. uh-huh now we are in the first sentence. let's get acquainted with the element of our program that we usually give to athletes, but i think you will still be interested in the name of pedal dancing. it’s really alexander who doesn’t occupy this skill, but it’s one thing to dance on ice and it’s quite another to look at the pedals, you don’t have to look at the pedals, but

you need the road and the steering wheel. however, you must not walk shaking. try to match as many times as possible as quickly as possible. try each such exercise gives the driver extra seconds, which are so important on the government highway. the driver ustinov complained to me, he was such a minister of defense, and his driver was a master of sports to help cross-country, with whom i was on the same team. but when i trained them. he says we have problems say in 10 minutes the grandson of the kremlin most of the soviet leadership preferred foreign cars. even the famous zis-110 was copied from an american packard, judging by this photograph of 1947, taken in argentina,

dmitrievich's great-uncle alexander zhulin worked on one of the most expensive cars of that time. general eisenhower drove such a car around europe in civilian life , the car was in demand only among very rich people, as at that time it cost a fortune of 5,000 us dollars. at the soviet zil, alexander zhulin's great-uncle vasily worked in a special purpose garage until the end of the seventies, he did not allow a single emergency situation on the road. there were no seat belts .
