After Joseph Stalin’s death in 1953, Nikita Krushchev emerged from a bitter power struggle as the Communist party’s first secretary. At the party’s Twentieth Congress in 1956, he delivered a “secret speech,” “On the Personality Cult and its Consequences,” harshly denouncing Stalin and his policies. The program of de-Stalinization, which had already begun, was thus supported and continued by Khrushchev. When was the full text of this “secret speech” finally officially released to the public?
