While Papa toured collective farms and industrial plants, Galina stole the show in her dazzling French dresses, Italian spike heels, and huge, dangling earrings. Making her debut on the diplomatic circuit, she completely overshadowed Nikita Khrushchev's daughter Rada, wife of Izvestia Editor Aleksei Adzhubei, who was also along on the trip.

Nina Petrovna Khrushchev in black astrakhan coat and pillbox hat, her arms full of orchids. The rest of the family trooped in afterward-Daughters Julia, Rada and Elena, Son Sergei and Son-in-Law Alexei Adzhubei, editor of Izvestia. It was the first time since 1896 that a Russian ruler had visited Paris. It turned out that Khrushchev's target was the same as Czar Nicholas II's-Germany...
