The Russian Justice Ministry has designated scholar Nina Khrushcheva a “foreign agent,” according to an update published on Friday. A professor of international affairs at The New School in New York City, Khrushcheva is the great-granddaughter of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.
Khrushcheva has lived in the United States since 1991. She has openly condemned Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, prompting pro-war activists in Russia to write denunciations against her.
Nikita Khrushchev was First Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party from 1953 until 1964. He is perhaps best known in the West for his 1956 “Secret Speech” denouncing his predecessor, Joseph Stalin.
