Russian Communists Criticize Khrushchev
The Communist Party of Russia adopted a resolution in which it “considers it necessary to assess as erroneous and politically biased” the report of the General Secretary of the CPSU Nikita Khrushchev, which he delivered at a closed meeting of delegates to the 20th Congress of the CPSU on February 25, 1956.
In it, he dispelled the cult of Stalin's personality. According to Russian communists, these are “falsified facts and false accusations against I.V. Stalin, distorting the truth about his state and party activities.”
In addition, the draft resolution states that the party intends to call on Vladimir Putin to “return to the city of Volgograd and the Volgograd region their heroic names of Stalingrad and the Stalingrad region.”
