(24 Jun 1999) Russian/Eng/Nat The son of former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev has passed his U-S citizenship test - missing only one out of 20 questions. Sergei Khrushchev and his wife will now be sworn in as U-S citizens next month, pledging loyalty to a way of life the old Khrushchev vowed to bury when he was Soviet leader. Hailing his test result, Khrushchev said "the world had changed" since the times when his father was in power and promised to be a good citizen. Historically, Providence, Rhode Island is known for embracing those who think differently and those fleeing religious or political persecution. Not surprising, then, that the son of a former Soviet leader should feel at home here. What's more, Sergei Khrushchev likes the United States so much that he wishes to become a citizen. Is this historical irony or just another footnote of the post-Cold War era? Khrushchev - son of Nikita S. Khrushchev who led the Soviet Union from 1958 to 1964 - says his decision was personal - not motivated by any kind of ideology. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "Of course you can live without citizenship but it depends on you yourself. Some people hurry and give it up while others never give it up. But I don't see today, after the cold war any political or any other kind of problem with this." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Khrushchev, son of Nikita S. Khrushchev and Senior Research Scholar at Brown University During the Cold War, when Nikita Khrushchev was in power, his son's decision to become an American would probably have been seen as an act of treason. So is Nikita Khrushchev spinning in his grave? Sergei Khrushchev doesn't think so. SOUNDBITE: (English) "During the Cold War, it was the political decision. It was the decision of the betraying your country." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Khrushchev, son of Nikita S. Khrushchev and Senior Research Scholar at Brown University Khrushchev argued there was no irony in him becoming an American citizen - because his country of birth and the United States are no longer enemies. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Now you can go here and there, so I think it's part of this life we have. Different people living in different countries." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Khrushchev, son of Nikita S. Khrushchev and Senior Research Scholar at Brown University Sergei Khrushchev came to the United States as a visiting professor in 1991. He obtained his green card in 1993. By law, he had to wait another five years before he could apply for citizenship. Initially, Khrushchev was a rocket engineer and computer scientist who once headed the Soviet Missile Design Bureau. Now he is a research scholar and lecturer at Brown University specialising in the Cold War and contemporary Russian politics. He has also edited and published his father's memoirs and has written four books on the life and times of his rule. Students at Brown University feel that Khrushchev gives them a more balanced perspective on political issues. They say his communist links should in no way hinder his quest for U-S citizenship. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I don't know, I don't think that his communistic side of him should be taken into account, or that our country is in danger by having someone who was part of that regime a citizen of this country." SUPER CAPTION: Laura Cyr, student at Brown University Khrushchev enjoys a kind of celebrity status at the Ivy League school. Those who work with him emphasise the vital that he provides when it comes to things both Soviet and Russian. SOUNDBITE: (English) SOUNDBITE: (English) (Khrushchev's wife)"I hope!"
