Comment
[edit]This article incorrectly describes the relationship of the state to religious institutions during the Stalin and Khrushchev eras. While overall, the policies of Khrushchev constituted a "thaw" or lightening of repression, Khrushchev's policy toward the church was actually more strict than Stalin's, who loosened restrictions upon the Russian Orthodox institution to shore up support for World War II. To a large extent, Khrushchev saw himself as restoring Soviet policies to their Leninist roots after Stalin, and that initiative required, in his mind, putting more into the effort to eradicate religion from Soviet life.[1]
Also, "Khrushchev" is never spelled "Krusheshev." Pdmeyer (talk) 22:33, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
