    Interesting considering this was in 1954, after Stalin's death -- his luster probably had worn off a bit.

      Only in his "Secret Speech", On the Personality Cult and its Consequences, delivered to a closed session of the 20th Congress (1956) of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev denounced Stalin for his cult of personality, and his regime for "violation of Leninist norms of legality".
