Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev advanced in the Soviet hierarchy with Stalin’s support, serving as a political commissar in the Russian Civil War and leading the Ukrainian SSR. Following Stalin’s passing, Khrushchev prevailed in a leadership battle and assumed the role of First Secretary of the Communist Party. He criticized Stalin’s purges, implemented a more lenient period, and supported the initial Soviet space endeavors. While in power, he achieved milestones like the resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis but was eventually ousted in 1964.
