Answer:

The Soviet leader during both the Eisenhower and Kennedy presidencies was Nikita Khrushchev.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nikita Khrushchev was the leader of the Soviet Union during part of the Cold War. He served as first secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, between 1953 and 1964, and as president of the Council of Ministers, between 1956 and 1962. Khrushchev was responsible for the partial de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union, for supporting the progress of the Soviet space program and several relatively liberal reforms in matters of internal politics. His party colleagues removed him from power in 1964, replacing him with Leonid Brezhnev as first secretary and Aleksei Kosygin as president of the Council of Ministers.
