Life in The United States
From 1968 to 1992, Dr. Khokhlov taught undergraduate and graduate psychology classes at California State University, San Bernardino, retiring as a professor emeritus in 1993. In 1992, Russian President Boris Yeltsin pardoned him, and Khokhlov returned Moscow for a short stay, for the first time since the 1950s. He later made an e-mail contact with, then eventually met, his son in Russia of whom he had not been previously aware. In the United States, Khokhlov married again. With his second wife Tanja, he had two daughters and a son, Misha, who died several years ago due to a kidney failure.
In 2006 Khokhlov made a comparison between his poisoning half a century ago and the murder of Litvinenko. "The situation within Russia today is very perilous. There are no more laws, and no more order. Putin brought back many KGB, and there are too many KGB at the top, the old dinosaurs who cannot get rid of old habits", he added.
Nikolai Khokhlov died of a heart attack in San Bernardino, California, in September 2007. He was buried next to the grave of his son.
