  • The American National Exhibition (July 25 to Sept. 4, 1959) was an exhibition of American art, fashion, cars, capitalism, model homes and futuristic kitchens that attracted 3 million visitors to its Sokolniki Park, Moscow venue during its six-week run. The Cold War event is historic for the Nixon-Khrushchev "kitchen debate" held first at the model kitchen table, outfitted by General Electric, and then continued in the color television studio where it was broadcast to both countries, with each leader arguing the merits of his system, and a conversation that "escalated from washing machines to nuclear warfare." But the event is equally renowned for its art exhibition, which included such celebrated artists as sculptors Robert Laurent, Ibram Lassaw and Isamu Noguchi and painters Hyman Bloom, Jackson Pollock and Edward Hopper in an art show coordinated by the United States Information Agency (USIA). Prior to the exhibition, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) threatened to remove many of the artists who had been accused of links to communist activities. After President Eisenhower intervened, however, the exhibition went on as planned. Interpretations of the event are mixed. Some called the event a success because it humanized both countries, leading to better relations between them. Some also note that the event resulted in "a landmark contract to mass-manufacture Pepsi in the Soviet Union," creating new business opportunity, as well as a better relationship. But others argue that "[a] year later, the Cuban missile crisis brought both sides to the brink of nuclear war, and ties didn't begin improving until the 1970s." Meanwhile, liberal critics characterized the exhibition as an American Cold War "propaganda strategy." (en)
  • La Exhibición Nacional Estadounidense (American National Exhibition) de 1959 tuvo lugar en el verano de ese año en la entonces capital soviética de Moscú. Fue patrocinada por el gobierno del entonces presidente de los Estados Unidos, el general Dwight David Eisenhower, y siguió a una exposición similar por parte de la URSS que había sido desarrollada unos meses antes en la ciudad de Nueva York.

  • A Exposição Nacional Americana (25 de julho a 4 de setembro de 1959) foi uma exposição de arte, moda, carros, capitalismo, casas modelo e cozinhas futuristas norte-americanas que atraiu 3 milhões de visitantes ao Parque Sokolniki, em Moscou, durante suas seis semanas de funcionamento. O evento da Guerra Fria é histórico para o "debate da cozinha" Nixon-Khrushchev realizado primeiro na mesa da cozinha modelo, equipada pela General Electric, e depois continuou no estúdio de televisão em cores onde foi transmitido para ambos os países, com cada líder discutindo os méritos de seu sistema, e uma conversa que "escalou máquinas de lavar para guerra nuclear". Mas o evento é igualmente conhecido por sua exposição de arte, que incluiu artistas consagrados como os escultores Robert Laurent, Ibram Lassaw e Isamu Noguchi e os pintores Hyman Bloom, Jackson Pollock e Edward Hopper em uma mostra de arte coordenada pela United States Information Agency (USIA). Antes da exposição, o Comitê de Atividades Antiamericanas da Câmara (HUAC) ameaçou remover muitos dos artistas que foram acusados ​​de ligações com atividades comunistas. Depois que o presidente Eisenhower interveio, no entanto, a exposição continuou conforme o planejado. As interpretações do evento são mistas. Alguns chamaram o evento de sucesso porque humanizou os dois países, levando a melhores relações entre eles. Alguns também observam que o evento resultou em "um contrato histórico para a fabricação em massa da Pepsi na União Soviética", criando novas oportunidades de negócios, bem como um melhor relacionamento. Mas outros argumentam que "[um] ano depois, a crise dos mísseis cubanos levou os dois lados à beira de uma guerra nuclear, e os laços não começaram a melhorar até a década de 1970". Enquanto isso, críticos liberais caracterizaram a exposição como uma "estratégia de propaganda americana" da Guerra Fria. (pt)
