Nikita Khrushchev: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

After the rise of the revolutionary government of [[Imre Nagy]] following the Hungarian Revolution against Soviet rule, Khrushchev opened negotiations with Nagy. However, during the negotiations, Khrushchev refused to accept Nagy's terms and ordered [[Yuri Andropov]] to invade Hungary, before having [[Ivan Serov]] arrest the Hungarian delegation when they arrived to negotiate the withdrawal of Soviet troops. During the Soviet assault, Budapest was destroyed, and many civilians were killed by Soviet troops. After the Soviet victory, thousands of Hungarians were arrested and executed, many of them innocent.

Khrushchev was also known to have ~~agreed~~ to put the missiles in Cuba during the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]]. Later, he apologized to John F. Kennedy, agreeing to not start a war. Khrushchev's party colleagues removed him from power in 1964, replacing him with [[Leonid Brezhnev]] as First Secretary and Alexei Kosygin as Premier.

Kennedy, agreeing to not start a war. Khrushchev's party colleagues removed him from power in 1964, replacing him with [[Leonid Brezhnev]] as First Secretary and Alexei Kosygin as Premier.

Many of Khrushchev's innovations were reversed after his fall. The requirement that one-third of officials be replaced at each election was overturned, as was the division in the Party structure between industrial and agricultural sectors. His vocational education program for high school students was also dropped, and his plan for sending existing agricultural institutions out to the land was ended. However, new agricultural or vocational institutions thereafter were located outside major cities. When new housing was built, much of it was in the form of high rises rather than Khrushchev's low-rise structures, which lacked elevators or balconies.
