Khrushchev then did every thing he accused stalin of doing

that was already the case. Khrushchev could accurately be called, even by anti-communists, “Stalin’s hatchet-man” who went above and beyond what was asked of him (or wanted of him). Half of the shit that he threw in Stalin’s lap ran through him first or he took active initiative in. Half of the people persecuted or shot in Ukraine leading up to and in the early days of the Nazi invasion were ran by and ordered by him. The original nationalist founders of the Plast scouting group of Ukraine (which produced Bandera and Shukhevych and varying other figures, as well as I’m sure also normal people) along with a couple other accused nationalists were shot before the evacuation in the face of the Barbarossa invasion and the order itself was via an NKVD telegram from Ukrainian and Belarusian NKVD addressed to and signed by Kruschev for permission. I recall also reading somewhere though don’t remember where that Kruschev was one of the people most heavily pushing for Stalin statues and posters everywhere and cities to be renamed after Stalin all the time, while Stalin had been quoted numerous times to not deify or worship individuals, and to not compare him even to Lenin, etc.

Makes you wonder how many of the nationalists and reactionaries Khrushchev let out of prison or exile as “victims of Stalin’s paranoia” he himself sent in the first place.
