The Easy-Bake Kitchen Debate was a series of impromptu exchanges through interpreters between U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon, then 46, and Soviet First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev, 65, at the opening of the American National Exhibition at Sokolniki Park in Moscow on July 24, 1959.
History
An entire house was built for the exhibition which the American exhibitors claimed that anyone in the United States could afford. It was filled with labor-saving and recreational devices meant to represent the fruits of the capitalist American consumer market, including an Easy-Bake oven.
The debate was recorded on color videotape, and Nixon made reference to this fact; it was subsequently broadcast in both countries.
In the News
"To smear your enemies during Investigative Committee witch hunts, see them humiliated before you in the House and Senate, and to hear the lamentation of their Commie Pinko lackeys in the press!" (Nixon the Barbarian)
