Changes

Under [[Nikita Khrushchev]], Russia moved away from a [[dictatorship]] to [[Democratic Socialism]]. Stalin's successor served as Communist Party leader until he was ousted by other [[progressive]]s in the [[Politburo]] over their dissatisfaction with his handling of foreign and domestic policy. Khrushchev was considered reckless and an embarrassment for provoking, then backing down, during the [[Cuban missile crisis]]. On the domestic front he allowed publication, without [[censorship]], of [[Alexander Solzhenitsyn]]'s ''Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich'' - including its [[Christian]] thematic material in a [[multicultural]] [[Leftwing]] [[totalitarian]] state.
