...after Stalin's death, for the party's first secretaryship. Khrushchev's mastery of the party regional machinery enabled him to build the personal power that ousted Stalin's heirs: Georgy Malenkov, Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, even the Red army's authentic hero Marshal Zhukov.

The announcement, which was not even repeated on the Soviet radio, was as brusque as it was brief. Just as in the case of the disgraced war hero, Marshal Georgy Zhukov, it failed to say what the general's new duties would be-and Zhukov has yet to turn up in another post...
