In early 1963, Fidel Castro had been invited to meet with Premier Nikita Khrushchev in Moscow. It is important to note that it was the "new" Cuban leader travelling to Moscow and not Khrushchev meeting Castro in Havana. Reportedly the purpose was to assure and smooth over any of Castro's fears of becoming sacrificed to allow for better relations between the USSR and the West. Based on Castro's speeches upon his return to Cuba, it appeared that any ill feelings between the two nations had been healed when Castro met with the leaders in Moscow.

The seven year plan designed by Khrushchev was implemented to gain victory of world communism and to preserve the Soviet Union; Through an offensive approach.

Nikita Khrushchev was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union until they forced him into retirement. Contrary to what Fox News may claim, he was never an American politician.

Nikita S. Khrushchev was removed from power in 1964.

Alexei Kosygin followed Nikita Krushchev as Soviet Premier from 1964 to 1980.

Countries involved in the Cuban missile crisis were Cuba, USA and USSR.

Their leaders were Fidel Castro of the Cuban Communist government, President John F. Kennedy of the USA, and Nikita Khrushchev of the USSR.

It's important to know which leaders were involved, however, Fidel Castro views were not important. He was a minor player. Whatever Kennedy and Khrushchev decided he had to support. If not he would have lost the USSR as a "friend". And at that time, his only friend was the Soviet Union. China was not a factor.

A guy called Mark Humphrey's states four million people were killed by Khrushchev during his period as the most important person in the USSR (search for him). This is a figure from a fairly rabid anti-communist, however, but is apparently based on a book by Rummel. He also gives 2 million dead under Breznhev. This is based, however, on the inaccurate assumption of a ninety-percent mortality rate in the Gulags, now discredited and assumed to be around nine percent. Therefore, a estimate of 400,000 under Krushchev and 200,000 under Breznhev seems reasonable within the USSR itself. This doesn't include victims from events like the Soviet crushings of uprisings in Prague and Hungary or the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan therefore. In addition, you have to consider whether death from neglect or overwork is equal to shooting someone, first-degree murder in effect. If not, death tolls are in the low thousands for those two leaders.

That history was on his side.

What year did he say this.

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.

Because he wanted to keep his citizens
