Nikita Khrushchev was leader of the Soviet Union from 1953-1964 after the death of former leader Joseph Stalin.
Biography
Edit
In 1957, Khrushchev was premier of the USSR. Irina Spalko was aware that Khrushchev was not as interested in psychism to the extent that his predecessor, Joseph Stalin, had been but was confident that the Crystal Skull of Akator would change his mind.[1]
That year, Marshall College students held a protest against Communism, during which they carried signs that included caricatures of Khrushchev. Mutt Williams and Indiana Jones drove by motorcycle through the protest while being chased by Soviet agents in a car. The protesters' signs got caught on the car's windshield, blinding the driver, and causing the car to crash into a statue of a former dean of the college.[2]
Personality and traitsEdit
Though he didn't hold Irina Spalko in as high regard as Joseph Stalin, Khrushchev still gave her his blessing to scour across the globe in search of artifacts with the potential for paranormal military application.[1]
