Krushchev

Nikita Khrushchev was a Soviet leader who served as the head of the Communist Party and Premier of the USSR from 1953 to 1964. He is known for denouncing the excesses of Joseph Stalin’s rule, implementing policies of de-Stalinization, and promoting a slightly more open society. Khrushchev played a key role in the Cold War, notably during events like the Cuban Missile Crisis and the construction of the Berlin Wall. His leadership was marked by efforts to modernize the Soviet economy and improve living standards, but also by tense confrontations with the West and internal political struggles.
