Khrushchev?

Long live Khrushchev.

You fell in love with Khrushchev?

The picture there is Khrushchev.

He was carrying a picture of Khrushchev.

No, silly, the one that's carrying Khrushchev.

To hell with the revolution and to hell with Khrushchev!

Haven't you heard about Kruchev the Chinese bomb?

Khrushchev s Secret Speech and End of Communism

Did Mr. Khrushchev feel he'd put Mr. Kennedy in the doghouse?

As chairman Khrushchev said... on the 40th anniversary of the revolution...

Khrushchev was ousted in a palace coup sponsored by the KGB and blessed by the military. Had the Red Army been completely loyal to Khrushchev, the conspirators would not have succeeded.

I can show you countless photographs of the president shaking hands with Khrushchev.

For instance, when you heard Kruchev had retired on account of ill health were you amused worried interested?

I don't want to be namedropper... but what do you think Khrushchev did to Malenkov?

In choosing to allow One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich to be published, Khrushchev knew that he was undermining the entire Soviet era up to that point. But, with Khrushchev s overthrow in 1964, Leonid Brezhnev lost no time in restoring orthodoxy and purging books that threatened the Party s reputation.

And I think that's something that we have to be in the room, whether it's Nixon going to China or Khrushchev and Kennedy or Reagan and Gorbachev.

But many people in the political elite and military circles were enraged by Khrushchev s revelations. This incited many attempts to rehabilitate Stalin, especially during the 20 years of Leonid Brezhnev s rule, which we now call the period of stagnation.

Yet Khrushchev, isolated and in disgrace, continued to see a bond between himself and the great author. As Solzhenitsyn wrote in his memoir The Oak and the Calf as late as 1966, he Khrushchev sent me New Year s greetings which astonished me because I was on the brink of arrest.

Kennedy s speech provoked a highly positive response from his Soviet counterpart, Nikita Khrushchev, who called in the US envoy and told him that the speech was the finest by any American president since Franklin Roosevelt. Within a few weeks, both sides had agreed to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Mikhail Gorbachev continued to uncover the crimes of Stalinism, shedding light on dark pages that Khrushchev lacked the courage to open to public view. During Boris Yeltsin s presidency, this criticism became even stronger.

Think about t, Who are you? , You're Taki no Shiraito!

Putin s own game of prime ministerial musical chairs does not reflect a desire to secure for himself a quiet position behind the scenes while someone else rules, for he knows all too well that the path from the Kremlin leads only to inner exile and the grave. Stalin replaced the dying Lenin, Khrushchev denounced Stalin, Brezhnev banished Khrushchev to his dacha, and Gorbachev buried Chernenko.

The Nixon Khrushchev Kitchen Debate happened about 50 feet from where this was shown.

Yet, within days, the word Stalinism was being expunged from a new Soviet dictionary, and three years later my grandfather, Nikita Khrushchev, denounced Stalin s cult of personality in his famous Secret Speech to the Communist Party s XXth Congress. The Khrushchev thaw that followed may have been short lived, but for the first time in Soviet history the possibility of change was opened a possibility that Mikhail Gorbachev seized upon in 1985.

Király, Kolakowski, and Khrushchev each in his own way is a symbol of today s new and uniting Europe, a Europe of rapprochement and forgiveness among erstwhile opponents.

And yet the US did not preemptively attack Soviet missile sites, which were relatively vulnerable, because the risk that even one or two of the Soviet missiles would be fired at an American city was enough to deter a first strike. In addition, both Kennedy and Khrushchev feared that rational strategies and careful calculation might spin out of control.

Well, as far as I can make out, Herzoff isn't Herzoff.

Herzoff?

You know, Herzoff.

Khrushchev had, of course, been an intimate part of Stalin s repressions, but he also didn t know half of what was going on. The whole Stalinist system of government was built on absolute secrecy, in which only the General Secretary himself knew the whole story.

When first you see Nehru and Gandhi, this is the Nehru cap just half a newspaper.

Major Herzoff.

Nehru s Last Stand?

Hello, Hercule? This is Clouseau.

After the Congress, it became clear that the communist gospel was false and murderously corrupt. But no other ideology was offered, and the crisis the slow rot of the system that became clear during the era of stagnation under Leonid Brezhnev that began with Khrushchev s speech lasted another 30 years, until Mikhail Gorbachev took up his mantle of change.

I'm sorry, Herzoff.

Rachmaninoff.

Nehru, maybe, or Albert Schweitzer.

It was a moment of truth, a cleansing from within of the brutality of Stalinism. Khrushchev s speech to the Congress inspired doubt and second thoughts throughout the worldwide Communist movement.

Thanks, Mrs. Cameron. We'll let you know.
