Answer 1

Nikita Khrushchev.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nikita Khrushchev was a Soviet Union leader who was the successor of Joseph Stalin. He was born in 1894, and was a soldier during the Second World War, under the leadership of Stalin.

But despite supporting Stalin in some of his atrocious activities, Nikita spoke against him, opposing some of the latter's policies. Nikita also helped resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis by promising to remove Russian missiles from Cuba, giving a huge relief to America. But after all these, his colleagues removed him from his power in 1964, stripping him of all his powers.
