The correct answer is:

Nikita Khrushchev

Step-by-step explanation:

Nikita Khruschev was the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1953 to 1964). During a reception at the Polish Embassy in Moscow he said: "Whether you like it or not, history is on our side; We will bury you" to Western ambassadors of capitalist states.

Khrushchev played a big role during the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. Khruschev was responsible for the de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union, although the Soviet Union was still a totalitarian state he created better conditions for people to live and gave them more freedom.
