Dear comrades,

As we all know there are two soviet eras pre and post death of Stalin. We all know Khrushchev basically did a coupe detat, by killing all Stalinists and also by starting the anti Stalin propaganda. We know he was the cause of the Soviet Sino split.

But what exactly caused the split? What policies did he push that were reformist or capitalist in nature ? How exactly did he fuck up? I know the results, but I lack in knowledge of the causes.

"Socialism Betrayed - Behind the Collapse of the Soviet Union" by Roger Keeran and Thomas Kenny. An absolutely indispensable book to give you a starting point and moderately deep insights.

There are more books, like "The Destruction of the Soviet Economic System - An Insider's History" by Vladimir Kontorovich, I suggest you put those off for later, as they are more detailed but dry, filled with technical language.
