Krushchev was NOT Ukrainian. He was one one of those Russians who spoke Russian born on Ukrainian territory so in vogue these days. He says so HIMSELF in his autobiography:
“In his memoirs he remembered his time there with special warmth: ‘I myself am a Russian and wouldn’t want to ·slight the Russian people, but 1 must attribute our success in the restoration of Ukrainian agriculture and the reconstruction of Ukrainian industry to the Ukrainian people themselves.’
He also comments in his autobiography that his internal passport was marked Russian under nationality.
Brezhnev was also an ethnic Russian born on Ukrainian territory
“Brezhnev was born in Kamenskoe into a Russian worker’s family”
(Although he identified himself as Ukrainian until 1952 when he changed it to Russian)
And F ing Russians are welcome to both those monsters as well as the original monster Lenin.If the Revolution hadn’t gained power in St Petersburg and Moscow the Soviet Union would never have happened.

Being a Russian was more prestigious at the time and Russia was the most populous state in the Union. Claiming a Russian heritage was their way to campaign. Both were culturally Ukrainian, especially Khrushchev.
Khrushchev was born in Russia. His father later got a job in Ukraine and the family moved there.
