When did khrushchev call for peaceful coexistence?
In the early 1960's there existed a term called the Sino-Soviet split. The Peoples Republic of China and the Soviet Union saw the world from different perspectives, and these were seriously different ones that drove a wedge between communists on a world wide scale. The Soviet Union was criticized for its policy of detente' with the West. More specifically, the charge from the more radical leftist Marxists, such as Mao Tse Tung, accused the USSR of "selling out " to the West.
In public documents, this war of words and near armed conflict, was made as public as can be. No party, nation or individual dispute the documents that were published by various communist parties on a world wide basis. Any informal telephone discussions or meetings between the various communist leaders can be documented.
With all that said, NS Khrushchev made it clear to China just exactly what the policy of "peaceful coexistence" meant in 1963. Basically, the Soviets, under NS Khrushchev defined this policy as basically one that had several important ideas. Here is a summary of these ideas:
* peaceful coexistence does not imply conciliation between socialists and bourgeois nations;
* peaceful coexistence does not mean that the principles of Marxism-Leninism has been cast away;
* Soviet policy recognizes that capitalist and imperialist forces are trying to undermine the growth of socialism;
* Soviet policy recognizes that that there is an ongoing and serious set of policies that separates the socialist world and the imperialist world; and
* Within the imperialist world, the working classes are in a struggle with their governments, and Soviet policy is to encourage this movement without a resort to outside armed forces.

Why did nikita kruschef order the construuuction of the Berlin wall?
He didn't order it, it was erected by the East German Government (known as the German Democratic Republic, or GDR) in 1961 to prevent mass defections and migrations from East Berlin to the West.
It had the approval of the USSR, but Moscow didn't actively order it's construction- at least, not as far as we know (Kruschev may have secretly put pressure on the East German Government to build it).
The reason given by the East Germans was that it was to protect 'fascist elements' from undermining the Communist state, but this was at best only partly true- the East German Government may well, indeed, have been worried about Western spies and infiltrators crossing over and whipping up an anti-Communist uprising such as happened in Hungary in 1956, but it was also meant to keep potential defectors IN and stop them from getting across to West Berlin.
The wall cut off West Berlin from it's Eastern half and also from surrounding East Germany- it actually consisted of two parts, a Western and an Eastern wall with a corridor of land about 100ft wide between them. This became known as the 'Death Strip' in the West and contained trenches, anti-vehicle traps, and watchtowers at various intervals, with the guards ordered to shoot on sight anybody seen in the strip unless they had official permission to be there.
It also contained a few ruined buildings that were damaged by Allied bombing in WW2 and had never been restored. The wall remained standing until Germany was officially reunified in 1990, when wholescale demolition work of it began. This wasn't completed until two years later, although several sections of the wall remain standing as historic monuments, including three quite long stretches of several hundred feet. Some of the watchtowers and checkpoint buildings also remain, and have been turned into museums or converted to peaceful use.
