  • In 1960, the Soviet ship Baltika made headlines when it transported Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to New York City for a United Nations General Assembly session. The ship's arrival and Khrushchev's presence generated significant international attention and media coverage. 
  • The visit coincided with other significant events, such as Fidel Castro's presence at the UN and the ongoing Cold War tensions. The Baltika's visit was part of a broader period of high-stakes diplomacy and political manoeuvring between the United States and the Soviet Union.
