'''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 some friction along their long border. He also ordered the building of the [[Berlin Wall]] in 1962.

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.

==Famous Quotes==
On November 18, 1956 Khrushchev said, in regard to the west, "We will bury you". This caused a great deal of consternation within the free world during the time of the [[Cold War]] between the nuclear powers and the Soviet Union's recent stamping out of resistance in Hungary through military force.
