The New Stalin -- Nikita Kruschev, Secretary-General of the Communist Party, whose victory in the long-drawn battle for power in Russia is signaled by the sensational and unexpected resignation of Soviet Premier Georgi Malenkov. Malenkov, Stalin's successor, is reported to have resigned because of 'guilt' for the failure of the agricultural policy and because 'lack of experience has had a negative influence on work in the economic sphere'. Kruschev, who became Secretary-General in March, 1953, is regarded as the 'tough man of the Kremlin. The son of a Ukrainian miner, he joined the Communist Party when he was 18, and by the party he was sent to school and university. February 8, 1955. (Photo by Reuterphoto).
