They blame Khrushchev's coexistence politics for shattering the unity of the Soviet bloc. Togliatti's support of Khrushchev, says Senior Stalinist Mauro Scoccimarro, 66, has "created confusion within the party." Scorning Togliatti's parliamentary tactics, the Stalinists still prefer the revolutionary road to victory.
