There is no international system for transcribing Cyrillic.

So here is the spelling of the name of a certain Prigozhin and Khrushchev in various languages.

I believe I’ve stated this a few times on here but it really seems like Maoists think Khrushchev simply pressed the revisionism button and then suddenly the ussr was bad. They seem to have little understanding of the decades the Khrushchev clique took undermining the power of the Soviet to be able to take and hold power. They also rarely have anything positive to say about the ussr post revisionism despite it still being a major anti imperialist force in the world.

Recollection of Kaganovich

Khrushchev writes that Molotov and I were on bad terms, at daggers drawn, and that we quarreled. This is untrue. When he and I worked in the Central Committee, we worked in harmony, but when he became chairman of Sovnarkom, and I became a minister [i.e. people's commissar], we had disputes on practical issues. I claimed additional rails [for the railroads] and more investment, and Mezhlauk, head of Gosplan, did not let me have them, and Molotov supported him. […] On the same grounds Khrushchev claims that Ordzhonikidze, like me, quarreled and fought with Molotov. But Sergo [Ordzhonikidze], like me, quarreled with him about investments and his treatment of industry. We argued, and we appealed to Stalin. This offended Molotov—why are we complaining about Sovnarkom? But we considered that the Politburo was the supreme court of appeal. ( Chuev, Tak govoril Kaganovich, 61. )

I'm beginning the release of Nikita Khrushchev Presents: Puzzle World! today.

It's a short chiptune soundtrack to a hypothetical puzzle game based on the Cold War.

Khrushchev trying not to say "Comrades!" at every paragraph opening in the Secret Speech:

[milfstalin]

I perfectly understand the reason for Khrushchev's attitude towards my father. Apart from the desire to rise above my father, to somehow surpass him even after death, Khrushchev takes revenge on me for his son[1]. When my father was still alive, he told me with resentment that his son died because he was not covered in the sky by squadrons. I could see that Khrushchev was genuinely concerned about his son's death, so I advised him to think about what he was saying and not talk nonsense. I did not tell my father about this incident, I felt sorry for Khrushchev, but instead of gratitude, I earned hatred. As soon as the opportunity presented itself, Khrushchev took it out on me, an innocent man. It is unlikely that anyone will consider this right, consider it justified. I keep thinking back to how my father, who was such a good judge of character, could keep not one but several traitors around. I'm trying to explain this to myself, and I've tried it in my notes, too. I understand intellectually that this was possible, because it was so. But at the same time I wonder-how, why? I myself never liked Khrushchev, Bulganin, Malenkov, or Voznesensky[2] neither Kaganovich. Khrushchev and Bulganin repelled me by their excessive obsequiousness. Once upon a time, they hurried to greet me first, vying with each other to say pleasantries and agree. I don't like obsequious people, I can't stand sycophancy. Malenkov, on the contrary, was too swaggering. He walked around with his nose in the air, looking down on everyone, only with my father he behaved like a younger comrade with an older one. He looked at me like a wolf. I felt that he could not forgive me for drawing my father's attention to the supply of defective aircraft to the army. Voznesensky, until he was exposed, also looked down on everyone and often broke down into rudeness. Once he tried to take it out on me, but was rebuffed. When talking to Kaganovich, it was immediately felt that he was saying something completely different from what he was thinking. In the last years of his life, my father trusted Kaganovich less and less. In addition, Kaganovich liked to say nasty things behind his back. "Lazarus smeared everyone again," Voroshilov said when Kaganovich once again poured mud on someone. His opinion was not listened to, but he still continued to bend his line.

[1] Leonid Nikitich Khrushchev (1917-1943) was a military pilot, the son of N.S. Khrushchev, who died in aerial combat during the war.

[2] Nikolai Alekseevich Voznesensky (1903-1950) was a Soviet politician and statesman, economist. Doctor of Economics (1935). In 1949, in connection with the "Leningrad affair", he was removed from all posts, removed from the Politburo of the Central Committee, expelled from the Central Committee of the CPSU (b), and then arrested. In September 1950, he was sentenced to an exceptional measure of punishment.

Review: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich - by Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Under the premiership of Nikita Khrushchev there was a post-Stalin easing of oppression emerging from the Kremlin and a Cold War ‘Victorian’ Ice Age thaw for writers allowed this remarkable, unique, little tale to unbelievably evade the censor and make it into the real world, even traversing the fixed barriers of the Iron Curtain. It was common, particularly during the purges of Uncle Joe, to…

Transcription of 2 screenshots: text reads

Deng: We think that Stalin’s contribution to the revolution is much more important than the mistakes he made. To use the Chinese way, the score for Stalin would be thirty percent to seventy percent: thirty for his errors and seventy for his merits. Furthermore, Chairman Mao agreed with me on the question of Stalin’s score, and, after the twentieth Congress of the CPSU, members of the Communist Party of China expressed a very clear judgment of Stalin. We said that we would always continue to consider his writings as classic works of the international Communist movement. You know, Stalin made mistakes even where the Chinese revolution was concerned; for example, after World War II he didn’t want us to sever ties with the Kuomintang or to begin the war of liberation. But even this does not cloud our judgment of him.

Fallaci: And Khrushchev?

Deng: Khrushchev? What good has Khrushchev ever done?

Fallaci: He denounced Stalin.

Deng: And you see that as a good thing?

[…]

Fallaci: What if I told you that in the West they call you the Chinese Khrushchev?

Deng: [He laughs]. Listen, they can call me anything they like in the West, but I know Khrushchev well; I dealt with him personally for ten years, and I can assure you that comparing me to Khrushchev is insulting.
