In 1964 a group led by [[Leonid Brezhnev]] arranged to strip him of power. The group persuaded the [[Politburo]], which governed the Communist Party, to replace Khruschev with Brezhnev. Khruschev then lived out the remainder of his life under the watch of the Soviet secert police known as the [[KGB]] until his death in 1971. He managed to smuggle out his memoirs for publication in the West. | In 1964 a group led by [[Leonid Brezhnev]] arranged to strip him of power.
