Geyl, Peter | April 14, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The most sensational speech delivered at the Twentieth Congress of the Russian Communist Party was that of First Deputy Prime Minister Anastas I. Mikoyan. While criticism of former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and Stalinism was the key-note of the entire congress, the contribution of this veteran collaborator of the late dictator was especially significant. Among the charges he hurled at the Stalin regime was that it had stilled research, especially the writing of history. The author says he was reminded of his recent experience at the International Historical congress in Rome last December. There were a number of Russian historians there, flanked by colleagues from the satellite countries.
