Kukuruza means "corn" in russian and was the inofficial nickname of Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev (for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Khrushchev). He was the direct link between Stalin and the local military commanders on the Southwest Front. Khrushchev influenced the outcome of battles like Kharkov, Stalingrad and Kursk. He is my personal "Slim Shady" *gg*
