Khrushchev signed a statement that he had not given the materials to any publisher... Upon publication of the memoirs in the West, Izvestia denounced them as a fraud.

Russian and English versions of this article directly contradict each other regarding Khrushchev's involvement in the purges. The only English article's source that I was able to find was this
2003 book. It is said to be based on historical archives and documentation.
However, Russian Wikipedia clearly states that,
В подписанном Ежовым Приказе НКВД от 30.7.1937 № 00447, фамилия Хрущёва среди входящих в состав тройки по Москве отсутствует. Никакие «расстрельные» документы за подписью Хрущёва в составе «троек» до сих пор в архивах не обнаружены. В своих мемуарах Владимир Семичастный высказал догадку, что по распоряжению Хрущёва органы госбезопасности (во главе с верным тому как действующему Первому секретарю председателем КГБ Иваном Серовым) проводили чистку архивов от компрометирующих Хрущёва документов, однако оговорился, что это лишь его предположение, не подкреплённое фактами[16].
Is there any kind of explanation for such contradictions? (

This edit tells: "Beria launched a lengthy series of reforms which rivalled those of Khrushchev during his period of power and even those of Mikhail Gorbachev a third of a century later.". This nonsense is written in WP voice. I doubt this appears in the cited source. Any link? And even if it does appear, this is only a personal view by author (needs an attribution); there are different views that can be cited. "One proposal, which was adopted, was an amnesty which eventually led to the freeing of over a million prisoners". Yes, he did release the prisoners, but only criminal convicts, this should be made clear, even if we keep the paragraph. What had actually happen is much better described in this section of page about Beria. My very best wishes ( talk) 01:40, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
(page 245)With power and authority distributed for the time being, new domestic and foreign policies followed. All leaders formally approved the changes (and some probably even believed in them), but Beria, even more than Malenkov, was the prime mover. Beria was not a closet liberal; he played the role of reformer just because he was drenched in blood. The way to improve his reputation and taint that of others was to incriminate Stalin, whose orders all of them had carried out. As police chief, Beria knew how bad the Soviet situation really was. Unparalleled in his cyni- cism, he didn't let ideology stand in his way. Had he prevailed, he would almost certainly have exterminated his colleagues, if only to prevent them from liquidating him. In the meantime, however, his burst of reforms rivaled Khrushchev's and in some ways even Gorbachev's thirty five years later.37 .
(246)On the day of Stalin's funeral, which also happened to be Molotov's birthday, Beria personally delivered Polina Zhemchuzhina from a labor camp to her husband, doubtless with an eye on a future alliance with the foreign minister.38 Between March 10 and 13 he ordered state security groups to reexamine falsified cases, including the doctors' plot, and to report their findings "to me." On March 17 he proposed transferring a large part of the MVD's industrial and construction empire to ordinary economic ministries, and three days later he suggested halting construction projects carried out with forced labor. On March 26 he informed the Presidium that 2,526,401 political and nonpolitical prisoners (including 438,788 women, 35,505 of them with children and 62,886 pregnant) were then in prisons and labor camps; lamented that imprisonment "placed the condemned, their relatives, and others close to them in an extremely difficult situation that often destroyed their families and negatively affected the rest of their lives"; and proposed a mass amnesty that eventually released 1,181,264 nonpoliticals serving terms of five years or less. On March 28 Beria urged transferring corrective labor camps from the MVD to the Ministry of Justice. On April 2 he informed Malenkov that the famous Jewish actor Solomon Mikhoels had been murdered in 1948 on Stalin's orders. Two days later Beria announced publicly that the doctors' plot case had been fabricated. The same day he ordered an end to "cruel beatings of those arrested, round-the-clock handcuffing with arms behind their backs which sometimes lasted several months, long periods of sleep deprivation, leaving prisoners naked in isolation cells, etc."3" Several days after the imprisoned doctors were released, Central Committee members were invited to examine case documents. According to Simonov, who spent three or four long sessions scrutinizing them, they established Stalin's personal involvement, including his demand that prisoners be tortured to extract confessions. The fact that the documents came from the MVD suggested that it was Beria's personal idea to display them.40
The Georgian Mikhail Chiaureli's sycophantic films about Stalin had earned him a role as the dictator's drinking companion. Since Beria had been part of the same company, the filmmaker naturally showed Beria a scenario glorifying his former master. "Forget about that son of a bitch!" Reria swore as he flung down the manuscript. "Stalin was a scoundrel, a savage, a tyrant! He held us all in fear, the bloodsucker. And the people too. That's where all his power came from. Fortunately we're now rid of him. Let the snake rot in hell!"41
Sorry about any typos, I'm copying and pasting from a pdf of Taubman's book. There's more about what Beria did on the following pages.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 06:48, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Please, link the Ryazan miracle article. It's important milestone in Khruschev career which led him to fall from favor of his country's party and people. Thanks. AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 18:28, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
Per revision of my edit [1], I'm reading page 98 of Khrushchev: The Man and His Era, and I'm not seeing anything about millions executed and imprisoned. Can you cite the specific text in the book you're referring to, please? @ Wehwalt: Stix1776 ( talk) 02:41, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
I guess in the fourth paragraph of the Early life section, it should be tank mines instead of ten mines. Mission Mao ( talk) 10:30, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

In the lede it says this: 'Khrushchev enjoyed strong support during the 1950s thanks to major victories like the Suez Crisis, the launching of Sputnik, the Syrian Crisis of 1957, and the 1960 U-2 incident.' However, in the article on the incident itself, we get this: 'According to American broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite, Khrushchev would go on to say that this incident was the beginning of his decline in power as party chairman, perhaps because he seemed unable to negotiate the international arena and the communist hardliners at home.'
So which is it? LastDodo ( talk) 16:41, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
I found this sentence to be unclear and confusing, and believe it to have been miswritten. I do not have the relevant information to make an edit on my own, so I am hoping this is the proper place to point out such a thing. Apologies if this is not appropriate for this forum, I am new to using Wikipedia in this way and am still learning. Hyyacinthee ( talk) 20:31, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
