Can anyone with this?

I have seen many times that Khrushchev's remark that the Soviet Union would
bury the West was a mistranslation; that he actually said that the SU would
be at the grave of the West, i.e. would outlive the West. Lynn Visson gives
the Russian as "my vas poxoronim" (_From Russian into English_, Ardis
Press).

Is there anywhere that gives more details about this incident? A fuller
quote? The context in which it was said?

TIA.
