Destalinization refers to the political and social process of eliminating the influence and policies associated with Joseph Stalin from the Soviet Union and its satellite states after his death in 1953. It involved denouncing Stalin's repressive practices, promoting a more liberal governance approach, and rehabilitating those who had been persecuted under his regime. This process was notably marked by Nikita Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" in 1956, which criticized Stalin's cult of personality and the excesses of his rule. Destalinization aimed to reform the Communist Party and encourage a more open society, though it faced significant resistance and complexities.
