DeStalinization from "summary" of Iron Curtain by Anne Applebaum

DeStalinization was a process of political and cultural change that began in the Soviet Union after the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953. It was a response to the excesses of Stalin's rule, during which millions of people were killed, imprisoned, or exiled. The process of DeStalinization involved a reevaluation of the policies and practices that had been in place under Stalin, and an attempt to move away from the repressive tactics that had been used to maintain control. One of the key aspects of DeStalinization was a loosening of censorship and a relaxation of restrictions on intellectual and cultural life. Writers, artists, and intellectuals who had been silenced or persecuted under Stalin were able to express themselves more freely, leading to a flowering of creativity and innovation in the arts and sciences. Another important aspect of DeStalinization was a reevaluation of Stalin's policies and legacy. The cult of personality that had been built up around Stalin was dismantled, and his crimes and mistakes were acknowledged. This process of reevaluation led to a more critical and nuanced understanding of Soviet history, and a recognition of the need for reform and change. DeStalinization also involved a process of political reform, as the Soviet leadership sought to distance itself from the excesses of the Stalin era. This included changes in the leadership structure of the Communist Party, as well as reforms in economic policy and social welfare. The goal of these reforms was to create a more open and responsive government, and to address the grievances and injustices that had been perpetrated under Stalin.
