Click here for a super Yahoo News article on Nikita Khrushchev. It is a good summary of his decade in charge of the USSR and the Secret Speech.
“The miner’s son, who rose to prominence while serving in the defence of Stalingrad during World War II, would later denounce his former boss as a murderous dictator. The new Communist Party boss first took a swipe at Stalin’s personality cult, which he claimed had reached ‘monstrous size’ and transformed him into a ‘godhead’.”
