How much did Khrushchev contribute to the Soviet Union? Why do Russians still miss him?

Whenever we mention Khrushchev, the leader of the former Soviet Union, we often think of the fat man who is eating corn with a smile and the western media deliberately exaggerating his silly jokes.

But for some Russians, Khrushchev was not a bad Soviet leader, and even they missed the days under his leadership.

Why would anyone miss Khrushchev? Today, Xiao Yuan will talk to you about Khrushchev's contribution to the Soviet Union when he was in charge of the superpower Soviet Union.

Science and technology made the Soviet Union proud.

Although the team of Soviet scientists led by Khrushchev did not build an atomic bomb similar to Stalin's, it broke the "nuclear monopoly" of the United States and made the Soviet Union rank among the world superpowers.

However, Khrushchev's team developed satellites. 1957, 10 year10.4, Sputnik I, the first satellite in human history, took off and circled the earth, flying in the air including the "airspace" of the United States. The Soviets proved with practical actions that the Soviets can compete with the United States in the research of cutting-edge science and technology, rather than blindly following the trend.

It is this small satellite that, judging from the historical ending, was the only act that shocked and frightened the United States during the hundred years from the founding of the Soviet Union to its disappearance.

Under the background of the excessive "cold war" of the American government, the American people at that time suspected that American science and technology had been overtaken by the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union had mastered the ability to destroy the United States. In the eyes of people at that time, the satellite hanging overhead seemed to be a bomb that could fall at any time.

Faced with the panic of the people, then US President Eisenhower had to hold a press conference to assure all Americans that the United States was still as good as the Soviet Union in science and technology, and planned to invest huge sums of money to ensure that it was in a state of surpassing the Soviet Union in science and technology.

Under the promise of the president of the United States, the United States quickly established a unit called the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense. This unit is responsible for turning cutting-edge technologies that are still in the state of papers into real objects as soon as possible. Among its products, we are most familiar with the embryonic form of the Internet "ARPANET".

Let the United States shake, this moment may be the proudest moment for the Soviets and even the Russians today.

Active disarmament ended the "state of war"

In Stalin's time, in order to win the war against German fascism, the Soviet Union once armed tens of millions of troops. However, after the end of World War II, Stalin did not disband these troops because of the cold war that followed, and even had a tendency to further strengthen them. These behemoths that only "eat" the economy without "producing" it are undoubtedly one of the biggest "encumbrances" in the economic development of the Soviet Union.

After Khrushchev took office, he did not hesitate to carry out large-scale disarmament activities. 1955-1957, the Soviet union unilaterally reduced its troops by more than 2 million, and 1958 reduced its troops by 300,000. Let the Soviet Union begin to resume the transition from the economic status quo based on the premise of raising troops to the private economy, and end the "militancy" of Stalin's era.

People are liberated from high-intensity military repression, and they have time to pursue a better life, and the Soviet economy may also go into battle lightly.

Try to establish a "separation of powers" system and keep power in a cage.

After Khrushchev came to power, in order to disperse the power in the Soviet system, there was a restriction between power and power. First of all, the privilege of the Secret Service to directly judge prisoners was abolished, so that the Secret Service was no longer a one-stop arrest and judgment, avoiding possible "unjust, false and wrong cases".

In the administrative organization, agriculture and industry are divided into two economic systems, and in the economic organization, the balance of power is realized. Finally, it tries to break the tenure system of officials, turn officials into responsible tenure systems, and put an end to the corruption of officials to some extent.

Khrushchev's reform made people see the possibility that the country was prepared to put power in a cage.

With the achievements of economic construction, people can see hope.

Although Khrushchev's plan to plant corn failed, the failure was limited to cold places, and his plan was very successful in those places where there were conditions to grow corn. During the period of 195 1-1955, the average annual grain output of the Soviet Union was 38.5 million tons. During the period of 196 1-1965, the average annual grain output reached 654.38+303 million tons, an increase of nearly.

At the same time, Khrushchev canceled the compulsory sale system of collective farms to the state and changed it to the purchase system of agricultural products, which increased the purchase price of agricultural products and significantly improved the lives of farm workers. In 1955, the average monthly price was 25 rubles, and in 1965 it climbed to 5 1.3 rubles.

This shows that in Khrushchev's era, ordinary people can see that their living conditions are improving step by step, not getting worse.
