Greetings, I am Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev. Born on April 15, 1894, in a humble village in western Russia. I rose through the ranks of the Communist Party to become the First Secretary of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964. During my tenure, I pursued a policy of de-Stalinization, spearheaded the Soviet space program, and worked towards reducing Cold War tensions through negotiations with the United States.
