A guy called Mark Humphrey's states four million people were killed by Khrushchev during his period as the most important person in the USSR (search for him). This is a figure from a fairly rabid anti-communist, however, but is apparently based on a book by Rummel. He also gives 2 million dead under Breznhev. This is based, however, on the inaccurate assumption of a ninety-percent mortality rate in the Gulags, now discredited and assumed to be around nine percent. Therefore, a estimate of 400,000 under Krushchev and 200,000 under Breznhev seems reasonable within the USSR itself. This doesn't include victims from events like the Soviet crushings of uprisings in Prague and Hungary or the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan therefore. In addition, you have to consider whether death from neglect or overwork is equal to shooting someone, first-degree murder in effect. If not, death tolls are in the low thousands for those two leaders.
What else can I help you with?
Who replaced Stalin?
There was a power struggle among the Soviet Communist Party elite to succeed Stalin after his death in 1953. Georgy Malenkov was nominally the next leader after Stalin, but only remained in sole power for about a week. The Troika (triumvirate) of Malenkov, Beria and Molotov ruled for the next six months.Khrushchev plotted with other high ranking Party leaders to have Beria executed.The leader who eventually emerged and held power for the next eleven years was Nikita Khrushchev.Khrushchev cleverly out maneuvered other top Party officials, and built his own power base. He was successful and rooted out "hardliners" when he revealed Stalin's crimes against other communists and the Russian people in general. In this manner "Stalinist" style rivals for power were ousted from any positions that would hamper Khrushchev's leadership role that he created for himself.
