When Nikita Khrushchev was the First Secretary of the CPSU after the death of Stalin in 1953, he did the following as the first step in liquidating the CPSU of its dedicated communists and eventually to bring about capitalism and dismemberment of the USSR. We must admit that the following was done even before the 20th Congress when Khrushchev attacked the “Cult of Personality” of J.V. Stalin.
Khrushchev just in Ukraine alone got rid of over 9,000 party secretaries from their positions, in Georgia he fired over 2,500 first secretaries of the CPSU. Immediately after the XX Congress Khrushchev gave the command to free over 7,000 anti-Soviet provocateurs who were sentenced for crimes against the USSR.
After that Khrushchev opened up the attack against the “anti-party group” which included Molotov, Voroshilov, Malenkov and Budyony. He then “cleansed” the party of dedicated Marxist-Leninists, dedicated Bolsheviks. Khrushchev knew that his attack against Stalin was not popular, he then started to promise economic miracles, that we’re going to enter “Communism” etc. etc.
The highest posts in the Government were then given to the “liberated victims of Stalin.” He then started the campaign to build “communism” in the villages. He ordered the slaughter of all cattle and stock, tried to do away with orchards and thus the people on the collective farms, instead of being the producers, became instead consumers needing to buy outside the borders of USSR the food that they produced before. Then the Khrushchev regime started to dismantle collective farms as “unproductive” and “not very profitable.”
People protested and it came to such an impasse that in the city of Novocherkas people went on strike to demand the removal of the present regime and Khrushchev ordered tanks of the Soviet Army against its own people.
Then the real Khrushchev started to be promoted and foisted on the Soviet people.
