Khruschev is the most benevolent and non-demagogue dictator in the history of the USSR, whose legacy should not be rejected. Besides his open denouncement of Stalin's tyranny and his deliberate starvation of around 10 million people, he opened up many schools and universities all over the union, expanded public transportation, solved the housing crisis, eradicated extreme poverty (which would bounce back after the collapse of the USSR), and done everything he could to prevent major escalation with the US, including withdrawing missiles from Cuba. and that's why he was ousted by his hardline communist comrades.
@ash_11117no, the sheer corruption and unwillingness to even adapt the slightest pro-profit based structure was the greatest reason, and if you don't know the seceding Republics wrote about Stalin's injustices as reasoning to leave the Union. A bad reason imo as Stalin's name had effectively disappeared from the Party's announcements for 35 years at the time but a reason indeed. And also glasnost accelerated collapse, perestroika's success relied on the tight control of the Party as then the entire focus of the Party would be implementing the economic reform instead of talking to the public to justify certain things and implement reform. In no case was Khrushchev even slightly responsible for its collapse. Use your brain don't turn it into rotten meat
@@shubhnamdeo2865 I think it had more to do with the fact that the soviet union instead of bothering to focus on domestic production of consumer materials they spent most of their money on the military. And also a poor leadership which is why it went so bad for gorbachev when he tried to fix the problems that the leaders before him should have fixed.
@deez8202 that contributed significantly, but it was more than that, it was deeply structural. The rigid ones fall quickly. Gorbachev cut military spending significantly in 1989, getting it from 303 billion dollars to 120 billion dollars in a single year. It still didn't solve the issue. They needed a profit oriented approach. Any man who attempted it was ousted from power or marginalized. Khrushchev, Kosygin, and then Gorbachev. Their leadership was fairly competent but not united.
What do you mean? Russians love Putin, his ratings get skyrocketed whenever he invades a country and has an approval rating of at least 80-85%, he can rig the elections but doesn't even need to, not a dictator in my book.

Thr socialist realism picture of Stalin standing behind Lenin always cracks me up since Stalin was a nobody during the revolution and that position belongs to trotsky. On another note, the 3 months of the Malenkov Beria regime would've liberalized Russia and turned it into a western ally. But alas, Krushchev came through.
Both Stalin and Trotsky played significant roles in the revolution, while Trotsky did have a greater role in military affairs Stalin also lead troops into battle. Stalin was made the People’s Commissar of nationalities in Lenin’s government, not quite a nobody. I recommend “Stalin: Paradoxes of Power Volume 1” to get a correct scope of the role he played.
@KayShort21 only a delusional western tankie would compare the role Trotsky played in the revolution to the role Stalin played. It would be like the role George Washington played vs the role played by some foot soldier.

Well, they did stop the dictatorship.. there was never another leader in the USSR as powerful as Stalin. The power shifted to institutions like the politburo who then elected a leader. More like autocracy, not dictatorship since no single person held all the power.

Because of Khrushchev, the USSR reformed and survived for another 30 years. Space and nuclear programmes flourished under him.
It was wrong. Khruschev's ruined Stalin's foundation.
