Can't wait for the latest Russian genocidal narcissist to sing his swan song before the latest Russki Mir implodes. Again.
Try not to cry too hard when your heroes fail again Danmand. I hope you live long enough to see it. And when it happens, remember ME rubbing your nose in it.

...and yet, despite all of that sacrifice (the Russian People's, not Stalin's), the Communist system was shit and the Soviet Union ceased to exist 40 years after this speech. Why? Because many of the people living within it hated it and didn't want to live in a cesspool dictatorship with nothing to eat. They wanted a real life.....
Soon after this speech, in mid-1953, Nikita Khrushchev denounced Stalin as a butcher; in the same building!, and rightfully so.
With due respect my friend, I think you are imputing our western sensibilities into the Russian mindset. The Soviet Union did not fail because of revolution. It failed under the weight of its own delusional Mighty Russia mindset. Reagan helped them finish themselves off much like the West and Ukraine is now facilitating Putin and the stupid delusional Russians who still think the Russki Mir is more important than the Russian people.
Didn't know that! Thanks. I think I'll have to toast Mr Khrushchev with a shot from one of my old bottles of Slava Vodka from these Ukrainian Canadians!
Despite his shortcomings, Krushchev was one of the better Soviet premiers who actually cared about the people (not in Hungary though). He was ousted mainly because he backed down in Cuba in October 1962. The only other one who could be considered human was Gorbachev.....Lenin was a distant 3rd.....
And Gorbachev is the one who actually saw Russia people as citizens, not just population.
Too bad that whatever elemental brutality is in those Russian genes keeps coming out.
Got about halfway through. Just to the part where he claimed the Soviets did fuck all to defeat Japan in WWII...
Khrushchev became General Secretary of the USSR in 1956, it seemed like a new beginning, Boris Pasternak's book Dr. Zhivago was finally published in Russian. Unfortunately power went to Nikita's head quickly, at the Kitchen Debate of 1959, he told Vice-President Nixon that the USSR would crush the West. Before he left office President Eisenhower installed ICBMs in Asia Minor. Had ol Nikita kept his mouth shut, that would not have happened, nor The Cuban Missile Crisis, nor Nixon's visit to China.
So ol Nikita was a failed Commissar.
Boris Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1958, David Lean (Lawrence of Arabia) made the film version of Dr. Zhivago.

Danny, I can't imagine how TERB survived the first 20 years of its life without anyone posting live video - if you can call it that, given how fucking sedated those commie assholes appear?! - of Stalin reciting a speech. A milestone has truly been set.
