Khrushchev himself continued his campaign against the "personality cult" when at a Kiev meeting his agricultural policies were openly criticized by an agronomist and he replied breezily that orders must not be obeyed unthinkingly: "I can be mistaken." But there were signs that the anti-Stalinist drive was having dangerous side effects. Central Committee Secretary Leonid Ilyichev took pains to warn a convention of 2,700 party propagandists that anti-Stalinism must not lead to questioning the Marxist-Leninist system itself or to opposing the right kind of leadership...

While the father thought of an invention as a mechanical problem, the son saw it also as an esthetic one, an assemblage of forms.

(Leningrad has about eight miles of subway, and the first stage of the Kiev subway has six miles of track.)
