Dear colleagues:
Yes, the link of the expression "ia tebe pokazhu kuzkinu mat" with the shoe
banging incident (12 Oct, 1960) is to be a myth. I checked _NY Times_ and
_Washington Post_ for Oct 12-Oct 13 1960 and there was nothing on Khrushchev's
using this expression. The shoe was there, of course. However, the myth of K's
using this phrase then is very strong and many Russians link it to that day
(plenty of references in recent Russian press). Viktor Sukhodrev, a translator
who worked with Khrushchev and who was present in the UN on Oct 12, 1960, in
his interview published in "Komsomolskaya pravda" on 12/10/1999
(http://www.trworkshop.net/faces/sukhodrev.htm) says that the phrase about
"kuzkina mat" was actually used during the opening of the American National
Exhibition in Moscow in 1959 in a conversation with the US Vice-President R.
Nixon. In American sources, the conversation is known as the "kitchen debate".
There's a bit of confusion about the dates of Khrushchev-Nixon conversation
and I haven't yet had a chance to check the microfilms with Russian and
American newspapers. The dates posted on the web are June 24, June 25, July
24, and even August 7.
It would be interesting to find out how the myth of "kuzkina mat" accompanying
the shoe banging in the United Nations appeared in Russia. But that's another
query.
I would like to thank everyone who has responded to my Khrushchev query.
Sincerely,
Elena Baraban
