        I will tell you a secret

        Khrushchev is seen positively in the middle east including by people who did support the USSR and people who didn't support communism due to stuff like the triple alliance on egypt and the USSR's role in helping cuba and Egypt ,the other reason is that propaganda against him is way less prevalent than the likes of Stalin and Mao

        "While addressing the Western states at the embassy on November 18, 1956, in the presence of communist Polish politician Władysław Gomułka (with Poland being a Soviet-influenced satellite state at the time), Nikita Khrushchev said:

        About the capitalist states, it doesn't depend on you whether or not we exist. If you don't like us, don't accept our invitations, and don't invite us to come to see you. Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you![4][5]

        The speech prompted the envoys from twelve NATO nations and Israel to leave the room.[4][5][6]:"

      For all the revisionism of de-stalinization, most of that was propaganda. The economic and international policy of the USSR barely changed as a result of Khruschchyov. Cool analysis of this in "Is the red flag flying", by Albert Szymanski, looking at several economic and social indicators and arguing this as a conclusion.
