07/03/20 the story of Leonid Khrushchev: the mystery of the disappearance of the son of the “leader” of the USSR
the First wife of USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev died of typhus, but managed to give birth to her husband’s daughter Julia and son Leonid. The daughter married Victor Gontareva, the Director of the Kiev Opera and died in 1981. Leonid became a military pilot who fought against the Nazis and according to the official version died in 1943. The body of the son of Khrushchev not found, and the circumstances of his death are still a mystery.
Combat pilot
Leonid Khrushchev was regarded as a heroic pilot. In the Winter war he bombed the Mannerheim line and only for the first month of the Patriotic war did 12 sorties. At the end of July 1941, received a wound, which healed in Kuibyshev (Samara). In February 1942, Leonid Khrushchev for the bombing of German tanks on the crossing of the Desna river received the order of the red banner.
According to the memoirs of Stepan Mikoyan, a son of the people’s Commissar of foreign trade of the USSR and his best friend Leonid, during treatment, in the background, he, like many other front-line officers, began to drink heavily. During one of the drinking Khrushchev’s son began to shoot at the bottles and accidentally shot and killed a sailor, with whom he drank. In addition to Mikoyan, this version sounded half-sister Leonida — Rada adzhubei.
For a crime Leonid received 8 years from service of sentence at the front part of the 18th guards fighter aviation regiment. 11 Mar 1943, 25-year-old Lieutenant did not return with the next flight. Many years after the war comrade Khrushchev, the pilot Zavarzin, claimed that Leonid had him covered from the fire of German aircraft body car.
About this fight, he wrote: “When the FW-190 rushed to my car to attack me from the bottom going under the right wing, Leonid Khrushchev, to save me from death, threw his plane off fire volley “Fokker”… After armor-piercing strike aircraft Khrushchev literally crumbled in front of me!”. In this professionregional pilots think that the letter Zavarzin far-fetched and unrealistic glossed over the details.
he was captured and was shot
According to the official, Leonid, who was a son of the first Secretary of the Communist party of Ukraine, Nikita Khrushchev died in battle against the Nazi invaders over the village of Zhizdra in the Kaluga region, however, the body of the pilot was never found. To search for the remains of the son of a senior Manager command aviation division has attracted local guerrillas, but neither the body nor the plane they found. A month later Leonid Khrushchev brought in the casualty list as not killed, but as missing.
a Former Soviet intelligence officer Vadim Udilov claimed that Leonid Khrushchev was shot down and captured. The Germans bowed Leonid to cooperate, but on the instructions of Stalin he was kidnapped by agents of SMERSH. That is a true story that was claimed by the KGB General Mikhail Dokuchaev, organizing the protection of Soviet leaders. According to him, having learned that the son of “their” Khrushchev is a senior immediately came to Stalin and begged the leader to forgive Leonid.
Stalin replied: “In this situation I can not help you”. Nikita Sergeyevich became hysterical, but Stalin demanded that he took himself in hand. In his article, “why Khrushchev took revenge on Stalin,” dated February 17, 1998, the General Odilov argues that the exchange rate exposure of a cult of Joseph Visarionovich — revenge Khrushchev for the shooting of his son. A well-known fact that in the summer of 1943, Leonid’s wife was arrested and sentenced to 5 years, followed by exile in Kazakhstan. The version was confirmed by the conversation of Molotov with the writer Felix Chuyev, a former Commissar of foreign Affairs confirmed that: “Nikita from his son refused.”
Died in battle
the Death of Leonidas in the battle was confirmed by the pilot Ivan Zhuk. He said that during the battle “Yak-7” Khrushchev went to the ground with a steep angle of dive that occurs while wounding or killing the pilot. Parachute in the sky no one has seen, and to find the remains of the aircraft in a wooded wetland area was difficult.
I do Not agree with the version of the shooting of Leonid Khrushchev and military historian Alexander Kolesnik, and hero of the Soviet Union and the son of former Politburo member Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Shcherbakov. They believe that the weak point of the General Udilova the absence of documents, as well as the unreality of the Soviet agents in the abduction of Leonid prisoner from deep behind German lines. The article itself has a number of chronological and factual discrepancies.
