April 17th 1894 - Khrushchev is born

 

On April 17th 1894 Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev was born in the Ukraine. Khrushchevs early life is closely connected with the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union). At age 24 he joins the Communist Party. After studying a school of the part in Moscow he is elected for the Central Committee of the party in 1934. As the first secretary of the Moscow Party Committee he distinguishes himself through the construction of the Subway. In 1938 he becomes first Secretary of the Ukraine. In World War II as a political commissar he takes part in the Battle of Stalingrad part for example. After Stalin's death Khrushchev rises further in the hierarchy of the party and in 1953 is elected first Secretary of the CPSU's Central Committee. During Stalin's lifetime he stood firmly by the party line of the Communist dictator and survived Stalin's paranoia unharmed. No he introduces the de-Stalinization of the party and opens the country to like-minded nations as well as to the capitalist "class enemies" in the West. But when Khrushchev's "thaw" during the Cold War actually results in real democratization efforts in the Soviet bloc the party leader returns back towards the hard line.
