Summary/Abstract: The 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), at which first secretary Nikita Khrushchev spoke at a secret session on 25 February 1956, was probably the biggest event to reach the world from Moscow since November 1917. He delivered shocking news that nobody had expected. Though there had been murmurs about Communist crimes, for the world public to be informed about them from a Communist rostrum was unexpected to say the least.
