Heard him mentioned on Hexbear before but forgot the details. He was probably on the ball.

Khrushchev reminded me of a livestock dealer. A small-time livestock dealer. A man of little culture, certainly. A regular livestock trader, a man who deals in cattle.

Stalin’s mistake was that he had not trained anyone to fill his position. Khrushchev took over, not by chance. Of course he was not the right man for the top office. But we had no unity in our group, and we had no program.

Yeah, continuation and training of the next generation of leadership should be a pretty high goal
