On this day 60 years ago, at the opening of the American National Exhibition at Gorky Park in Moscow, Elliott Erwitt took the now iconic photograph of US Vice President Richard Nixon seeming to confront Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
.
It was taken during a tour of displays given to Khrushchev by Nixon, while the pair debated their views on communism versus capitalism. The pair happened to have some particularly heated debate near to a model of a typical American kitchen, designed to showcase the comforts of the American lifestyle, and so the confrontation gained the moniker “The Kitchen Debate”.
.
On the 60th anniversary, we look at the story behind the photo, and how it became a symbol of tensions between Russia and the U.S. Link in bio.

astraeus Gen Secretary was catched off guard in this moment, making him appear weak in comparison with an assaulting party... Curious to see what had happened next.

antigregariousclub Does it make the image stronger that Nikita blinked or does that reduce the effect of the stern pointed finger?

fojo0404 One turned out to be weak leader and the other committed treason to win a election. Quite the pair

stevespinidge Intense. A world Leader jabbing another world leader in the chest. Can you imagine that today?
