I know historical hindsight is 20/20, but how did no one bully this guy into giving up his moronic "de-stalinisation" policy? Like the SU was built by Stalin and now suddenly hes satan incarnate? No wonder SU citizens lost faith in the party over time, how can you trust a bunch of weather vanes?

If you think Khruschev was bad, you should dig into Gorbachev and read Vladislav Zubok's Collapse. Just page after page of a deluded man making the stupidest decisions possible and no one stopping him for reasons that are hard to wrap your mind around.

they actively wanted to undo socialist progress, ignored the populace, and worshiped the west

Gorbachev legitimately deserves to be remembered as one of the great villains of the 20th century.

Will check out Collapse.
