...always, Khrushchev on tour turned out to be part frolicking peasant, part common scold. In his lighter moments, he was engagingly frank. With half a glass of beer inside him, he was asked at an after-dinner party whether the Russians had ever solved their succession problem. Khrushchev's response was a jocular account of the 1957 at tempt by Bulganin, Molotov, Malenkov and Kaganovich to depose him. "Bulganin," said Khrushchev, "was and is a very good bookkeeper.
