Nikita Kruschev, pounding his shoe on the lecturn for dramatic emphasis, didn't say “We will bury you!” he said “We will bury you economically.” A very big difference.

Also, I'm told that in the context of Russian speech, “We will bury you” doesn't have the meaning “We will kill you,” it means “We will outlive you.”
