Nikita Khruschev (1894 - 1971) became dictator over the [[Soviet Union]] when [[Joseph Stalin]] died in 1953. Khruschev denounced Stalin as soon as he died and tried to purge all memory of Stalin (“destalinization”). Khruschev repressed a freedom movement in [[Hungary]] in October 1956 and executed the Hungarian leader [[Imre Nagy]]. Khruschev replaced him with a pro-Soviet puppet. In 1960 Khruschev stopped sharing atomic bomb secrets with [[China]], and later there was a little violence along their long border. He also ordered the building of the [[Berlin Wall]] in 1962.
