I know historical hindsight is 20/20, but how did no one bully this guy into giving up his moronic "de-stalinisation" policy? Like the SU was built by Stalin and now suddenly hes satan incarnate? No wonder SU citizens lost faith in the party over time, how can you trust a bunch weather vanes?
the more i've read the more i believe he was positively riddled with stress and anxiety over that kind of stuff
he knew where it was leading and there was nothing he could do to stop it. he didn't seem to be enjoying it at all
