When we have a wider family get-together, we number 23 adults, ranging in age from 18 to 86. Of these, eight are serious dedicated wine drinkers, who will taste every wine I bring – and I bring a few. Five will take a glass of their favorite wine, and it will last the whole evening. Most won’t finish it. Another will only drink white because red gives her headaches. The two octogenarians will look up hopefully when I arrive and ask: “Do you have a wine for us?” They are referring to Moscato. By chance last time, I took a bottle…

Stalin’s death brought an uncertain pause – a fleeting hope that the days ahead might be quieter. For those who longed for calm, the rise of Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev would prove to be a mixed blessing. Though the mass purges were halted, Khrushchev’s leadership was…
