This opened the future to a radical shift away from the policies that had enabled the Soviet Union to make the hair-raising jump into the modern industrialized world and pulled it through the devastating war. Khrushchev reversed major achievements and brought havoc to the Soviet economy and society"--Provided by publisher.Soviet UnionHistory1953-1985SourcesSoviet UnionHistory1925-1953Sources947.0852092Schnehen Gerhard1949-1549786MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910794460103321Khrushchev's putsch3808088UNINA
