Somewhat related: We have documentation here at Stanford related to
the Nixon-Khruschchev "kitchen debate" at the 1959 Moscow Trade
Fair. It was captured and smuggled out of the Soviet Union by Ampex
staff, and we have the a version of the recording given to us by
Joseph Roizen, who was there. You can read about what happened here.
Another strange intersection of Khrushchev and Silicon Valley ...
