NIKKITA KRUSHCHEV



Was one of the most important leaders of the Soviet Union, he was 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.

He had something that make him special, because Khrushchev was different. During his administration he became world famous for his outlandish behavior and attention-grabbing antics that both alarmed and amused his audiences, friend and foe alike.
Khrushchev was regarded by his political enemies in and out of the Soviet Union as boorish. He had a reputation for interrupting speakers to insult them.
