And what was the effect on international relations? Part of History International relations, 1945-2003 // Changes in the Soviet Union// There were major political changes in the Soviet Union in the mid-1950s, and these affected the way the Cold War developed. // For example, after Stalin’s death in 1953, there was a reaction against his dictatorship. // There were investigations into the widespread human rights violations that had been carried out under his rule and many political prisoners were released from the gulags.// Portrait of Nikita Khrushchev// Nikita Khrushchev emerged as the new Soviet leader.// In February 1956, he gave a secret speech to the Communist Party, in which he condemned Stalin’s crimes and human rights abuses.// He also introduced a de-Stalinisation policy, which encouraged people in the Eastern bloc to think that greater freedoms might be possible.// However, there were clear limits to the freedoms Khrushchev would allow.// There was no possibility of countries in the Soviet sphere of influence leaving the Warsaw Pact or of changing their system of government from communism.// The limits to Khrushchev’s de-Stalinisation policy were clearly seen in Hungary in 1956.
