  1. de-stalinisation

    De-Stalinization (Russian: десталинизация, romanized: destalinizatsiya) comprised a series of political reforms in the Soviet Union after the death of long-time leader Joseph Stalin in 1953, and the thaw brought about by ascension of Nikita Khrushchev to power, and his 1956 secret speech On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences, which denounced Stalin's cult of personality and the Stalinist political system. Monuments to Stalin were removed or toppled, his name was removed from places, buildings, and the state anthem, and his body was removed from the Lenin Mausoleum (from 1953 to 1961 known as Lenin and Stalin Mausoleum) and buried. These reforms were started by the collective leadership which succeeded him after his death on 5 March 1953, comprising Georgi Malenkov, Premier of the Soviet Union; Lavrentiy Beria, head of the Ministry of the Interior; and Nikita Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).

  1. de-stalinisation

    De-Stalinization is a political reform process initiated after Joseph Stalin's death, aimed at dismantling the totalitarian regime, cult of personality, and repressive policies he established during his leadership in the Soviet Union. This process involved promoting political openness (known as "glasnost") and purging the government and society of Stalin's influence by criticizing his dictatorship, removing his supporters from power, releasing political prisoners, and easing censorship policies. The term was popularized during the leadership of Stalin's successor, Nikita Khrushchev.
