Nikita Khrushchev (15 abr 1894 ano – 11 set 1971 ano)

Descrição:

While Khrushchev was out of Moscow from Jan-Sept, Brezhnev plotted to remove him from power. During the coup "meeting" he put up little resistance and stepped down.

"I'm old and tired. Let them cope by themselves. I've done the main thing. Could anyone have dreamed of telling Stalin that he didn't suit us anymore and suggesting he retire? Not even a wet spot would have remained where we had been standing. Now everything is different. The fear is gone, and we can talk as equals. That's my contribution. I won't put up a fight."
