Was it Khrushchev s fault that he was sacked
Was it Khrushchev’s fault that he was sacked? Khrushchev replaced Stalin after his death in 1953. In his rise to power Khrushchev appeared to support Stalin’s methods, and harsh communistic ways, however once in power Khrushchev made a ‘secret speech’ that was made by Lenin ( a previous popular communist party leader), that spoke of how Stalin should not be allowed to be leader, and how Lenin had wanted Stalin removed from the party. ... One of Khrushchev’s main wrongs when it came to his ‘thaw’ in the communist way was that he was very impulsive and therefore was quite difficult to trust. ... Khrushchev’s solution was to meet and discuss the problems with two of the leaders and brutally crush the Hungarian rebellion, this was not thought of very well. ... Another of Khrushchev’s vital mistakes came with his approach to other countries, Khrushchev always managed to take the meetings to an almost hostile level and thus during Khrushchev’s leadership the USSR was involved in many cold wars. ... The two countries were constantly spying on each other, and both were unsure of how advanced the other country was, Khrushchev took advantage of this situation and launched many rockets into space, although this did give the USSR some authority, Khrushchev had been so concerned and obsessed by this space race that he spent more money on the race than on his people.
