Effects of Khrushchev's Destalinization of Russia
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing how the policies of Stalin's successor affected the people of the former Soviet Union. Under Khrushchev, there were several areas in which Russian citizens could expect to live longer lives than under Stalin, but Khrushchev did not materially improve the plight of the people in terms of any sort of freedom. Any superficial relaxation of restrictive rules was orchestrated for the good of the party and the state; the people and their efforts were merely fuel for the party machinery. Khrushchev's liberalization policies of destalinization changed only those conditions that could not be sustainable. Identification of those areas was dependent on Khrushchev's abilities of perception; while he identified several important areas, he failed to recognize the need for reform of other areas of Russian life as well, including religion.
