On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences lang ru was a report by Soviet Union Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev made to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Twentieth Party Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on 25 February 1956. Khrushchev s speech was sharply critical of the reign of General Secretary and Premier Joseph Stalin , particularly with respect to the brutal purges of the Soviet military and Communist Party cadres which had particularly marked the last years of the 1930s. Khrushchev charged Stalin with having fostered a leadership personalitycult despite ostensibly maintaining support for the ideals of communism . The speech was a milestone in the Khrushchev Thaw . Superficially, the speech was an attempt to draw the Soviet Communist Party closer to Leninism . Khrushchev s ulterior motivation, however, was to legitimize and help consolidate control of the Soviet party and government, power obtained in a political struggle with Stalin loyalists Vyacheslav Molotov and Georgy Malenkov .

Orphan date August 2011 Cult of the Charkha is an essay by Rabindranath Tagore which first appeared in September, 1925 in the Modern Review. In the essay Tagore offered critique on the Gandhian ethic of Charkha spinning as an activity which could rejuvenate the Indian masses during the Indian independence movement. Context Rabindranath Tagore and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi were among the two most influential Indian figures during the freedom struggle of the Indian nation against the colonial rule of the British. Tagore became the first non European and only Indian to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 and was instrumental in reshaping Bengali literature and music. He was considered widely as a colossus of the Indian intelligentsia. Gandhi on the other hand emerged as the pre eminent political and ideological leader of India during the Indian independence movement . He was a mobilizer of the masses and respected and venerated across India as the Mahatma or Great Soul . Incidentally, Tagore is said to have accorded and popularized this title for Gandhi. The two men had great mutual respect for each other but often differed significantly on some issues. One such issue was Gandhi s call for spinning the Charkha as an activity which was to be the locus of the Swadeshi and Non cooperation movement .
