More on Nikita Khrushchev
Description from Wikipedia:
Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev (IPA: /nɪˈkiːtə sɜrˈɡeɪ.əvɪtʃ ˈkrʊʃtʃɛv/; Russian: Никита Сергеевич Хрущёв, Nikita Serɡeyevich Khrushchyov, ) (17 April 1894 – 11 September 1971) was a leader of the Soviet Union, serving as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, following the death of Joseph Stalin, and Chairman of the Council of Ministers from 1958 to 1964. Khrushchev was responsible for the partial de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union, for backing the progress of the world's early space program, as well as for several relatively liberal reforms ranging from agriculture to foreign policy. Khrushchev's party colleagues removed him from power in 1964, replacing him with Leonid Brezhnev.
