Whoa, buddy those Finnish communists are really hard core, aren't they? Khruschev was a capitalist??? That's sure news to the Russians! It isn't Khruschev who's suspected of killing Stalin, it's Beria, he's the one who seized power first. Then, Khruschev was able to arrange a coup against Beria, because everyone figured Beria would kill them all, given what he did during the purges in the 1930's. Khruschev was removed by Brezhnev in 1964, not because Khruschev was a capitalist, but because Khruschev was mentally unstable, and had almost caused a third world war for nothing in 1962, over Cuba. Brezhnev actually liked Khruschev, but realized he was totally incompetent. And, the deification of Stalin, Lenin and Marx are something the Russians these days would just laugh at. Interesting, though.
