WE WILL BURY YOU FULL QUOTE

The phrase “we will bury you” was famously attributed to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev during his speech at a reception for foreign ambassadors at the Polish embassy in Moscow on November 18, 195 However, the commonly used quote is a partial translation of his original remark, which, in full, details a more complex message. Here is the complete quote in its original context:

“About the capitalist states, it doesn’t depend on you whether we [Soviet Union] exist. If you don’t like us, don’t accept our invitations, and don’t invite us to come to see you. Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you.”

It is important to note that Khrushchev intended to convey the idea that communism, as he believed, was the inevitable and superior system that would outlast capitalism in the long run. The quote became famously misinterpreted as a direct threat of physical burial, whereas Khrushchev meant a metaphorical burial of the capitalist system.
