Valedictory I would like to go over one aspect of success this morning which is perhaps not as pleasant as what you might see in the Milton classes of 1960 through 1965. This is the success of a man born in Russia in 1894. His name is Khrushchev. Khrushchev was not a success until the year 1932 when joseph Stalin needed a man who was obtuse enough and who went along with his mind without think- ing, so that Stalin's policies in the Ukraine could be enforced. How was this to be done? Forty million Ukranians were fighting the Russian regime. What was the method to crush them? Stalin's method was starvation. Nikita Khruschchev, the heretofore dictator of the Popular Party, was sent into the Ukraine, which at this time had enough food to feed its population for two years and four months. 9015 of this food was deliberately exported from the Ukraine. Thus, Khrushchev carried out the starvation and death of seven million people. The same population as that of New York City died from his methods. Khrushchev's next step up the Soviet ladder of success was the incident known as the Vinnitsa Massacre. Stalin had decided that this man was to be sent to the Ukraine as a dictator of the Communist party in that region. On the other hand, the present regime in the Ukraine did not welcome Khrushchev's nomination. He was inevitably opposed. However, the sixty-seven people in the Ukrainian govern- ment who opposed our friend Khrushchev were not seen again, after he came into power. They were, as the Russians put it, physically liquidated. During World War II, Khrushchev operated behind the Nazi lines in the Ukraine to stir up the nationalism of the people in this country. In that way, the Nazis would then become incensed against the Ukrainians and massacre them. In this policy, he succeeded. Khrushchev had three distinguishing operations after World War II, from the period of 1944 to 1946. One was the elimination of the Ukranian Catholic Church. Before 1945, there were 4,400 Catholic churches in the Ukraine. As of now, there are none. The person responsible for this - Nikita Khrushchev. Secondly, Stalin decided that the Ukraine, which was what then provided some of the troubles with the Russian regime, was to be again physically liquidated. The man in charge of the operation - Nikita Khrushchev. Finally, this man turned out another small and almost unknown man-made famine in the Ukraine. When Khrushchev came to power in 1953, he made a speech to the Prae- sidium in Moscow about the liberalization of the Russian policy. A small group of people took this speech seriously. This was a group of some thousands of in- mates in a concentration camp in Kingr in the USSR. They struck for better conditions. Five hundred of these women were attacked and massacred by Nikita Krushchev. Such was his liberalization of the Russian regime.
