Russia/America: The "Kitchen Debate"

Anon was reading "The Mental Floss History of the World" and came across this gem (not that the whole book isn't full of them, Hetalia!wise):
"The Two Nations even argued about kitchen appliances. In 1959, U.S. vice president Richard Nixon visited the Soviet Union to serve as host at an exhibition of Western consumer goods. The visit was marked by a debate between Nixon and Khrushchev about the relative merits of Soviet washing machines and blenders versus their U.S. counterparts, which culminated in the two world leaders poking each other in the chest with their fingers."
The first sentence is great in and of itself, so you can take this how you will. I would, however, like to see Russia and America with fairly decent relationship since this was during the Thaw. And since it is my OTP, an actual physical relationship would certainly not be frowned upon but isn't a requirement.
