True, the USSR had some pretty weak leadership right after Stalin died, not just Khrushchev.

With time better idea's could have been thought up to replace Stalinism rather than Khrushchev's sudden bad actions.
Well, yea, once you get up past Chinese imperialism, my interest in the history tends to fade as far as China is concerned.

That's what I was saying, just less detailed lol.

Stalinism eventually would have been replaced by something better, had they not been replaced by something that sucked.

I love how we've essentially turned this into a discussion about Stalin and Stalinism.
