arghton 6,686 Posted September 11, 2021 50 years since Nikita Khrushchev died aged 77 after over six years in retirement. This is likely the last known picture of him. He was survived by his wife (died 1984) and four living children, now all dead. The last one living was Sergei Khrushchev (1935-2020) who committed suicide last year.

arghton 6,686 Posted September 11, 2021 9 minutes ago, the_engineer said: Did he have any grandkids? Actually yes, he did. Forgot to mention. His sons Leonid and Sergei both had atleast two children. When Leonid died, Khrushchev adopted his daughter Julia (1940-2017). There likely are some living grandchildren, however there doesn't seem to be much information on them available atleast on the wiki. Sergei's son Nikita Sergeyevich died in 2007 from a stroke. Did some research on Geni, seems like there are four who could be alive: Sergei's son also named Sergei and Rada's three children. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,581 Posted September 14, 2021 American actor Henry Gibson died 12 years ago today, aged 73. With a lengthy list of credits in both film and TV, not least as a regular guest on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in, he's probably best remembered in the UK for his portrayal of the leader of the Illinois neo-Nazis in The Blues Brothers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,686 Posted September 15, 2021 48 years since Sweden's Gustaf VI Adolf died aged 90. Carl XVI Gustaf, VI Adolf's grandson, became the new king. Carl's father, Prince Gustaf Adolf had died aged 40 in a plane crash in 1947. Interesting longevity in the family, three out of the five of VI Adolf's children lived to 90+. Not long before his death, Gustaf VI Adolf approved a new constitution that stripped the monarchy of its remaining political functions, leaving his grandson Carl XVI Gustaf a ceremonial figurehead. Carl XVI Gustaf, 75, has been Sweden's longest-reigning monarch since 2018. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
