Paper Summary:
This essay examines what happened in the Soviet Union after Stalin died in 1953. Stalin's failed economic policies, overcentralized leadership, and brutal acts of terror had left a broken and numb society lacking in all autonomous initiative. Into this challenging situation came Nikita Krushchev, a dedicated and enthusiastic Communist reformer who made significant changes and tackled the legacy of Stalinism. This paper explains the successes and failures of Kruschev in the de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union.From the Paper:
"Russia has never been a democratic or egalitarian society, although it is slowly moving in that direction now. Successes have been substantial in the last decade, yet there is still far to go. As Robert Service writes, "The burden of the past lies heavily upon Russia, but it is a burden which was not solely the product of the assumption of power by Lenin and his fellow revolutionaries." It is not only Stalinism that is being fought by the Russians but the history of the later Russian Empire as a restless and unintegrated society (Service 546). With those facts in mind we can see how difficult de-Stalinization was and still is, for it was so much more than just coming to grips with what Josef Stalin did."More papers on De-Stalinization and Nikita Krushchev:

Dec 15, 2001 Thank you for looking at my essay. I am from the "old school." I wrote my first term papers and essays back in the 1970s: the days of typewriters, carbon paper, all-night library sessions on No-Doz, and note cards. It was harder than you might imagine, but as a result I learned how to write with focus, excellent grammar and vocabulary, and a clear style. Those are the qualities you will find in all my work here, which are new and written as part of my recent graduate studies. They are certain to help you with your assigned essay or term paper. All are top quality "A" papers and show the kind of creativity and original analysis that university instructors look for.
