Favorite leaders

Khruchev

Because, he have make the study of the cold war much more exciting. During his time the tension between the country was almost reach to the highest point; US and USSR was on the brink of war. Moreover, that time the fortune of Europe was depending on the red button, which lead to the destruction of Europe, and perhaps the whole world. Additionally, I like this leaders because his actions have still affect the world, for example the policy of MAD had led to the invention of Hot Line. Which directly link between countries, and the red phone also appear in some catoon. Furthermore, the relationships between Cuba and US have not improve much, for example there is no air line from Cuba to America, so the Americans who went to Cuba wouldn't be able to come back to US.
