Nikita Khrushchev and his decade

Each member of Stalin's Politburo was a man of outstanding, past the hard way during the revolutionary activities of the Bolshevik Party, followed by numerous cleaning, by hook, crook entrenched at the helm of the largest country in the world.Nikita Khrushchev - is no exception.

Born into a poor peasant family, he became commissioner in twenties.When he was in his early forties, he heads the regional committee of the capital, is actively involved in economic life.Then, led by the Communist Party of Ukraine, organizes activities connected Sovietization western regions, in general, are always in the center of events.

War ... A time when millions died is unknown.The time when there is a rapid jump in the career of some government and party leaders.And now, the Victory Parade, Mausoleum on it - the members of the Politburo, and among them - Nikita Khrushchev, Lieutenant-General.

yet a novice if different from the other "gods" with large portraits, only the fact that the inhabitants of other Kremlin he is treated as an army to put the language to "salabon."Made fun of him, he enclose a tomato in the chair, ironically on the plump figure.Hands stained with the blood of all of them, behind collectivization, industrialization, mass "landing" and executions, starvation, and the leadership in the Stalin era, and could not hope to escape involvement in these crimes, even such a high.So, Nikita Khrushchev again no exception.

After the death of the "great helmsman" in 1953, no one perceives that lovers of good food as a possible successor of the Soviet empire.And then he gets a sudden and crushing blow to the main competitor - deputy chairman of USSR Council of Ministers.We can say, Nikita Khrushchev made a coup, accusing LPBeria of spying for Britain, and along with all the deadly sins, including hundreds of rapes, and persecution, in which he took no less involved.

Then strange times began.The first three years all went as before, and then the sound of thunder: at the XX Congress suddenly sounded famous report.It turned out that Stalin was in some ways a few got excited.No, it's not socialism as such, but some Leninist principles were violated.What kind?A collective leadership, for example.

Being ignorant man, Nikita Khrushchev was looking for the most simple way out of the most difficult positions.The development of virgin land, in itself it is very useful and necessary, carried unscientific methods.Chemisation all of the means of improving the effectiveness of turning into an end in itself.Corn was sown wherever possible (and where you can not).

However, many of its aspirations were really good.Let and small, but the apartments have acquired millions of Soviet citizens.The farmers finally got a passport, and along with them - the status of equal citizens and the possibility, albeit problematic, leave the hateful and impoverished village.

Such was the Khrushchev thaw.Briefly it can not be described, because, on the one hand, declared the restoration of the rule of law, millions of prisoners from the camps back home, and on the other, ruthlessly suppressed all dissent in the country, and throughout the socialist camp.

result of this inconsistency was the total loss of popularity and resignation.The Stalinists could not forgive debunking of his idol, the intelligentsia - persecution, war - reduction, and the rest of the people - ignorance and bungling.

Nikita Khrushchev died in 1971.He was a pensioner.
