i ask them, don't you know who nikita khrushchev was? and they don't. maybe one history nerd will pop up with a semi-answer. so my question to you all is, how can anybody know the legacy of john kennedy and not know the name nikita khrushchev? they are entwined. what is the legacy of john kennedy to the up-and-coming generation? is it just the glamorous president with a glamorous wife who was assassinated in dallas, launching a thousand conspiracy theories? if so, they cannot understand why the russians are meddling in our elections. they will have no context for how the united states handled the prospect of nuclear annihilation in the past. they won't know much of anything about how we got to where we are. they will just know that -- know thatim conspiracy theories are interesting, which is perhaps the context for so much of what is happening now. so that's my challenge to all of you. make sure the cold war history is taught in high school so that kennedy's legacy is complete and understood. now, it is my honor to introduce to you the man who is the br

in one nine hundred fifty four ukraine's territory was expanded even more when nikita khrushchev the leader of the u.s.s.r. and ukrainian himself generously gave the crimean region to ukraine. historians would argue about the legitimacy of this transfer for many years to come and sixty years after khrushchev's gift dramatic new events would take place in crimea was around the world are on ukraine as a crisis in crimea continues dozens of heavily armed men seize government buildings in crimea shut you crazy. just shrug your shoulders and say ok crimea is lost and the old arguments would heat up once again. the cold war would heat up and cool down by turns while both rivals were obsessive leave building up military capacity the turning point took place when the new era perestroika came to the u.s.s.r. with its new leader mikhail gorbachev in the middle of the one nine hundred eighty s. . perestroika meant restructuring towards liberalization and democratization it certainly had a positive impact on the international situation astonishing news from east germany by the sherman authoritie

these are the views not only of nikita khrushchev but of the presidium in russia, the party hierarchyeart all favor him and ask him which way we could be of assistance to those forces in the united states which favor friendly relations. could the soviet press assist mr. stevenson's personal success? how? should the press praise him? should it criticize him? and if for what. mr. stevenson will know best what would help him. january 1960. so, months before the american presidential election that year, adlai stevenson's deciding whether or not he is going to run again. the russian government invites adlai stevenson to their embassy for a meeting to tell him to run, and to offer help so russia could get the president they preferred into the white house. russian ambassador reportedly offered stevenson not just propaganda, not just soviet press help to help him get the presidency, they also offered him russian money. what is the right thing to do in that circumstance? this was 1960. what's the right response? well, when adlai stevenson got home from that surprise meeting at the russian emba

russia is up to and putin doesn't help this speech he gave on march first sounded like you know khrushchevduring the cold war when he said we will bury you always talking about hypersonic. you know a ballistic missiles he showed a picture of florida where trump has a summer white house to say you know the white attack so putin is own worst enemy not to mention the fact that the russians interfered in our election the real question did it help trump or not but the fact of the matter is that not only interfered in our election they had their feared elections you'd know it other countries and in europe so the russians have become much more aggressive than they were before coup took over as a second term as president but one can also see it from the russian point of view they were guarantees given back in one thousand one thousand nine hundred ninety one during the negotiations over the unification of germany that need to wouldn't expand eastwards that was that problem those promises were not kept i mean public confidential documents of the time now made public reveal that so the russians posi

and crimea was just correcting an injustice that was done some time ago when khrushchev gave crimea tothe ukraine. so now he is in the position to right that wrong. but it starts about what we talked about before, this general animus towards united states and all that we stand for, in our values and our system. and clearly, we saw this focused on hatred of clinton's, both the clintons, and especially her for attempting to foment a coalition. >> putin is paranoid, i think with some justification. he sees the united states and behind anything, at least the panama papers. the disallowing of the russian olympians because of the doping scandal. and so many things. and also the cold revolution. he sees that behind everything that goes behind what goes wrong in russia. not true. but the legitimate paranoia is a continued march of democracy that was going eastward and that was encroaching upon -- you point out ukraine. and ukraine was right in the middle of that. and he did not want the ukraine to gravitate toward you -- towards europe. so i think he interprets everything is a move against him

kennedy, who was far more a student of foreign affairs than donald trump, at his first encounter with khrushchevaway humbled and contributed historians and many in the kennedy administration agree to the emboldened soviet union in both berlin and in cuba. so these don't come witout some cost and price and especially, as david pointed out, the rupture with our allies. >> woodruff: let's bring it back home. primary elections this week, that is the season we're in now. david, democrats cheered a number of these results. women seemed to do parti well in a number of states. some firsts for women. how did you read these results? are you seeing something here th gives you a sense of what's going to take place in november? >> the prominence of the women candidates is one thing. it's more likely we'll have political campaigns that will be more about race. the republicans have become a pretty white party, pretty out front on their views on immigratio what we've seen among the democrats is they're saying, yeah, there is also gointo be our issue. in the last couple of years, if you poll democrats, are racia

in the 1960's, khrushchev ordered the u.s. ambassador to washington to offer at ally stevens assistance with his campaign. of that was rebuffed and reported. as brian noted, there was a very well-known attempt to help humphrey defeat richard nixon. in the 1960's, and also a campaign by the russians mounted against scoop jackson in the mid-70's. a propaganda effort, influencing , disinformation planted in articles, research mechanisms put into place for the other candidates to make them look bad. maybe slightly skewed. russian involvement in our electoral process goes almost as far back as the cold war era. in the 60's and 70's -- in the 1960's and 1970's, undercover a bit, run principally out of the russian embassy in washington and in the 1980's there was a change. in the 1980's, the kgb through the source a in moscow started with pr officers. those officers were dedicated to disinformation campaigns. the head of the kgb at the time campaigns in nicaragua at the time when really the great powers of the cold war were fighting

khrushchev give crimea to the ukraine, so now he is in a hatred of both clintons, especially her. >> vladimir putin is paranoid with some justification. the release of the panama papers, disallowing russian olympians because of the drug doping scandal, so many things. and also the co-revolution. where it is legitimate paranoia is he sees the continued charge of democracy that is going eastward and was encroaching upon ukraine. the ukraine was in the middle of that and he didn't want ukraine to gravitate towards europe, and putin sees nato expansion and interprets everything as a move against him and our efforts to change the regime in moscow. i think the statements about hillary's ngos in ukraine is an overstatement. there were efforts to prop up nascent initiatives inside of ukraine that treated sought as a direct effort to try to displace russian influence their. that animus towards both clintons goes back many years. ms. wallace: nothing to add beyond, weekend where we began -- we and where we began, this idea of the united states as this global validator and protector of the worl

go back to eisenhower and khrushchev all along. it hasn't panned out.e, communism in hollywood. i don't think the relationship's great but there is still this hunger to try to make some kind of outreach. abby: your book is about change can be made that was such a powerful moment in our country's history. >> your dad knows this well in the heart of moment. abby: get some tips. brian: what stands out too infiltration we saw in the 2016 election. that isn't new. they have been trying to get through hollywood, through our political system, for 50, 60 years. they're doing it cyber now. >> what the administration is doing to push back, arming ukrainians, natural gas to eastern europe, sanctions, all that stuff getting overlooked. people are focused on what the president says or doesn't say about putin. brian: the blowback has been pretty strong including going after some of their oligarchs and they're feeling it. >> yeah. steve: what do you make of the parallels that, since you are writing this book that just came out yesterday, what do you make of the people
