Problems with De-Stalinisation


Going too far
  • Had to be careful not to alienate loyal Stalinists
  • Delegates had heart attacks during speech
  • People committing suicide after
Not far enough
  • Hungary 1956 - rebellion crushed using Soviet troops
  • Student demonstrations for multiparty democracy at Moscow State University in 1957 were crushed
