Nikita Khrushchev[a] (15 April 1894–11 September 1971) was a Soviet revisionist politician who is responsible for the restoration of capitalism in the Soviet Union, de-Stalinization, and other policies under his tenure of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union beginning in the 1950s. Khrushchev rose to prominence in the Soviet Communist Party following the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, and, after years of consolidating power, would deliver a slanderous condemnation of Stalin and his legacy during the 20th Congress of the CPSU in 1956 in tandem with openly revealing the opportunist tendencies of himself and his clique.[1]
