Question

What was a key focus of the reforms implemented by Nikita Khrushchev?

A. improving relations with the West

B. the reduction of the Soviet nuclear arsenal

C. cracking down on political dissent

D. the de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Kruschev was the Soviet leader immediately after Stalin, so he would be responsible for removing the Stalin cult of personality from Soviet policy. C would not be a reform, and B would be Gorbachev's future responsibility. A is a possible answer, however I do not believe it is the best one as Khrushchev also made disparaging comments like "We will bury you".
