After the 20th Party congress [13], where Nikita Khrushchev [14] denounced the crimes of Stalin I was amazed. Of course, I believed Khrushchev, but I couldn’t understand another thing: Khrushchev and other politicians adamantly condemning Stalin after his death were working with him following all of his orders. Didn’t they understand that they were taking part in his crimes? I couldn’t believe it. I came to the conclusion that politics was a dirty thing and it was an indecent business for a normal purpose.
