We spoke to Nina Krushcheva, great-granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev.

He was the Soviet leader during the Cuban Missile Crisis when the world appeared to be on the brink of nuclear confrontation.

She’s now professor of international affairs at the New School in New York.

We began by asking her to explain her claim last week that the threat of nuclear war was now greater than ever.
