[[File:Mao.png]] Anti-revisionists [[File:Stalin.png]][[File:Hoxha.png]] have often accused Khrushchev of revisionism due to his denounce of Stalin's totalitarian rule and rehabilitation of many political dissidents under Stalin era, the peaceful coexistence theory, as well as the renounce of DOTP and several changes to the economy aimed at decentralizing the Soviet economy. However, unlike Deng and Gorbachev's reforms, Khrushchev didn't introduce market mechanisms in the economy and maintained the Soviet-style planned economy, even nationalizing the cooperatives that were previously legal under Stalin. Asditionally, Khrushchev also restarted another wave of crackdown on religion in the USSR. Despite Khrushchev's increasing of political pluralism within the CPSU, he maintained the one-party state structure intact, and so are most elements of the ML system, making his reforms relatively minor compared to the ones in Hungary, Poland, and China. |

[[File:AES.png]] Brezhnevists [[File:Brezhnev.png]], however, have a different assessment on Khrushchev. Rather than accusing Khrushchev of revisionism like the anti-revisionists, Brezhnevists blames his argicultural failures and de-Stalinization campaign as "voluntarism" and "opportunism", but generally still recognize him as a real communist. Additionally, contrary to popular myths, Khrushchev thaw was not only ended by Brezhnev, but also by Khrushchev himself, who grew increasingly conservative due to the criticisms within the CPSU and backlash against his reforms. Khrushchev ended the cultural thaw in 1962 and tigthened party control over independent media, arts, and culture due to fears of the CPSU losing the grip over the civil society. |

This was a policy that the Brezhnevists continued as they strengthened the authoritarian rule over the public after the ovethrow of Khrushchev. |
