Lech Wałęsa Distinguished World Leader and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

By exclusive arrangement, Lech Wałęsa, former President of Poland (1990 to 1995), Polish hero and international icon in the pursuit of freedom and democracy, will meet with our group on board Le Dumont d’Urville. From his position as a marine electrician in Gdańsk’s Lenin Shipyard, Mr. Wałęsa emerged as a world‑renowned figure in the struggle against Communism during the 1980 shipyard workers’ strike and the establishment of the Polish Solidarity labor movement. Despite winning the right to form an independent union, Mr. Wałęsa and Solidarity continued to confront the Soviet‑backed regime of General Wojciech Jaruzelski, which jailed Mr. Wałęsa and imposed martial law in Poland in December 1981. Mr. Wałęsa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, a watershed moment widely considered to have been the first crack in the Soviet Union’s Iron Curtain, which crumbled with the Wall in 1989. Mr. Wałęsa became the first foreign non‑head of state to address a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress in 1989. Sergei Khrushchev Noted Author and Award-Winning Scholar A distinguished author and scholar, Dr. Sergei Khrushchev is the son of former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev (1957‑1964) and a former Visiting Professor of Slavic Studies at Brown University, where he also served as a Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute for International Studies. Dr. Khrushchev’s research has focused on the history of the Cold War and the turning points in relations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the Khrushchev, Eisenhower and Kennedy eras; the history of Soviet missiles and space development, in which he played an active role; and the Soviet Union’s transformation from centralized to decentralized government and market economy. He co‑authored his father’s memoirs, The Time, the People, the Power (1999), and translated them into English (2005‑2007). Dr. Khrushchev is a popular commentator for the American media and the author of more than 350 books and articles, including Khrushchev on Khrushchev (1990), Nikita Khrushchev: Crisis and Missiles (1994) and Nikita Khrushchev and the Creation of a Super Power (2000).
