Politicians
Nikita Khrushchev
First Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party (1953-1964) and Premier (1958-1964). A coal-miner's son who rose to the top, he denounced Stalin in the 1956 Secret Speech and led de-Stalinisation. He launched Sputnik and Gagarin's flight, crushed the 1956 Hungarian uprising, built the Berlin Wall (1961), and brought the world to the brink of nuclear war during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, before being ousted by Brezhnev in 1964.
