Khrushchev was an ethnic Russian.

He was boss of Ukraine, under Stalin, and wanted to win over the Ukrainians, when he was locked in a power struggle, after Stalin’s death.

Thanks. I thought that the village he was raised in was Ukrainian at one time.

Whatever the history, when he was alive (and now) it is indeed in Khomutovsky District, Kursk Oblast, Russia, about five miles from the border.

Thanks you for the correction and the info.
