David Hoffman | Jesus Was The First Communist Said Sergei Khrushchev. Is It Outrageous? @DavidHoffmanFilmmaker | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I made a documentary feature-length film about America's reaction to the launch of Sputnik in 1957. It is titled "Sputnik Mania". I was fortunate to get premier Soviet premier Khrushchev's son, Sergei Khrushchev to be part of my film. This is a portion of his interview. To seek more, search the word "Sputnik" on my YouTube channel.
Here is a film that I made on "The Sputnik Moment" -

Sergei Khrushchev was born in Moscow in1935, the son of Nikita Khrushchev, the Premier of the Soviet Union.
Sergei pursued an engineering career. He contributed significantly to the Soviet space and missile programs during the Cold War. He was involved in designing cruise missiles for submarines, spacecraft, and satellites.
Sergei had a close relationship with his father. He often accompanied his father and witnessed many significant historical events.
Nikita Khrushchev was a prominent leader during a pivotal time in Soviet history, overseeing major events like the launch of Sputnk, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the introduction of de-Stalinization policies. Sergei's proximity to his father allowed him to witness these events up close and understand the complexities of Soviet politics.
In various interviews and writings, Sergei Khrushchev discussed the Soviet Union's stance on religion, which was largely atheistic and promoted secularism. Nikita Khrushchev himself was a staunch atheist, and under his leadership, the Soviet government continued policies aimed at reducing the influence of religion in public life.
Regarding Jesus, Sergei Khrushchev acknowledged the cultural and historical significance of religious figures like Jesus, even if he personally did not hold religious beliefs. He often spoke about the need to understand historical and cultural contexts when discussing religion, rather than focusing solely on doctrinal aspects.
In one interview, Sergei Khrushchev mentioned that his father viewed religion as a tool of the ruling classes to control the masses, which was a common Marxist perspective. However, Sergei also noted that his father's policies on religion were part of a broader attempt to modernize and secularize Soviet society.
Sergei Khrushchev's views on the Soviet Union evolved over time. Initially, he was a product of the Soviet system and contributed to its technological advancements. However, after moving to the United States in 1991, Sergei provided a unique perspective on the Soviet Union's political and social systems. He often contrasted the advantages and disadvantages of the Soviet and American systems, offering a balanced view rather than outright condemnation or praise.
In 1991, Sergei emigrated to the United States, where he became a U.S. citizen in 1999. He worked as a senior research fellow at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University, where he focused on the history of the Cold War, missile defense, and the Soviet Union’s political and military history.
Sergei Khrushchev passed away on June 18, 2020.
Sergei Khrushchev reflected on Sputnik, which marked the beginning of the space age and the intense competition between the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. He noted the political implications of the launch, emphasizing how it showcased the Soviet Union’s technological prowess to the world and shifted the global perception of the USSR as a scientific and engineering superpower. The launch of Sputnik was a source of immense pride for the Soviet Union and demonstrated its capabilities during a time of intense rivalry with the United States.
