When we hear about some state, the memory immediately draws the image of the current or former head. This is how human society works: the head of the country is the guarantor of the welfare of the nation, the first support and the last hope. That is why so much is known about the rulers of Russia and the supreme figures of the USSR. Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev is a rare dark horse in this series. Who is he - a narrow-minded simpleton, a power-hungry upstart or a mediocre leader? How did he get and keep power with such monstrous mistakes in the leadership of the country? What did he leave to his descendants, except for the well-known multi-storey buildings and the epic with corn? The book provides little-known facts about economic experiments, the zigzags of foreign policy, the imposed doctrines and situations of the Khrushchev era. Controversial decrees, the development of virgin lands, the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine, the rehabilitation of fascism accomplices, groveling before the West ... The aggravation of old and the emergence of new problems resembled the violent growth of corn. What is it - ambition, absurdity or sabotage? The author introduces the reader to unexpected archival information and other research findings. The publication is distinguished by a scrupulous study of the material, a thoughtful approach and a serious analysis of the historical context. The book is dedicated to the turning point of the Soviet era and highlights the problems of that time, the behind-the-scenes struggle in power, the decisions being made, and most importantly, the history of the change in the ideology of the party: the rejection of the Stalinist course and Leninist principles, the discrediting of Stalin and his ideas, the persecution of supporters and followers. Recommended for everyone who was born in the USSR and their children.
