...Nikita Khrushchev was impressed and decided to give Libermanism a chance. One factory in Moscow and another in Gorky were put on the profit and free-market system on a trial basis six months ago. Not surprisingly, they demonstrated a vast improvement in efficiency over the old Marxist bureaucratic model. When Khrushchev was ousted, some Soviet experts suspected that his revisionist experiments with Libermanism were at least partly to blame. On the contrary, the new leadership moved quickly to make Libermanism a prime element of their domestic policy...
...medals, the six-line biography describing his rise to Chairman of the Council of Ministers and First Party Secretary. Even the fellow's inspirational quote on the back gave way to an anonymous poem praising party modesty. Thus, by having his birthday wiped from the state calendar, did Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev become an "unperson...
Khrushchev's successors have picked up where Nikita left off. To Ankara last week came the first Russian parliamentary delegation in 31 years to visit Turkey, headed by the Presidium's prestigious Nikolai Podgorny.

"Tanks, armored cars, planes and armored trains, rifles and Tommy guns have almost disappeared," the paper said. The blame for this lamentable situation was laid to Nikita Khrushchev, who allegedly did not want to encourage warlike feelings among children. Pravda, on the other hand, called attention to unsold stocks of toys ($180 million worth in 1963), blamed central planners for misconstruing the public taste. "These monsters of plush, pâpier-maché, wood and stainless steel are costing the state...
