Revolutions had the tendency to bring people to power who would never have achieved it in previous systems. An example of such a career was undoubtedly Nikita Khrushchev, who came from a Ukrainian peasant family. First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the years 1953-1964, he rose to this position as a result of the power struggle after Joseph Stalin, who died in March 1953. He destroyed the myth of the former leader of the USSR. In a secret report, he criticized Stalin and accused him of the greatest crimes. What was he like and how is he perceived by Russians? We invite you to a conversation with Prof. Mirosław Filipowicz, a historian from the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin and the Jerzy Kłoczowski Institute of Central and Eastern Europe of the Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre Center, a historian of historiography and an expert on Soviet Russia. #historiabezkitu We invite you to support our activities through the services: Patronite.pl/historiabezkitu.pl or Buycoffee.to/historiabezkitu Also visit our website: https://historiabezkitu.pl and podcast services: Spotify: Historia BEZ KITU Apple Podcats: Historia BEZ KITU
