If I recall correctly he wanted to focus on improving the Soviet Union's light industry, fight against corruption of the party bureaucracy and privileges, also continue self-criticism. He would've continued the course of Stalin albeit a bit softer. Sadly he was outmaneuvered by Khrushchev and forced from his position as First Secretary, he joined with Molotov and Kaganovich to oust Khrushchev in 1956 but were instead ousted themselves from the Party by the Central Committee as they had the final say.
I honestly hope Zyuganov gets removed and the Party will have a better chance some day at actually making a difference. The CPRF to me is such a mess that basically cheerleads Russia uncritically and supports its bourgeois but I hope the young guard can change the party.
Sorry to necromance this thread but I was wanting to find out more information about Lavrentiy Beria and I want to believe that he's still a dedicated bolshevik. Its just that there are things said about him like starting a coup in Soviet Georgia or had supporters that were arrested for corruption but this might be unrelated or further slander to Beria and I have read Khrushchev Lied a bit but I should read more.
I remember playing Company of Heroes 2 and realizing how they portray the Soviets as worse than the Nazi Germans though the Nazi Germans in the cutscenes had POA patches. Treating the Soviet commanders as unsympathetic who treat their own soldiers as cannon fodder, backstabbers to allies and so on. Putting in Soviet "atrocities" in text on the load screens. Its greatly disgusting...
Maybe...I only get my sources from a few places honestly.
