Boleslaw Bierut died while listening to one of this man's speeches. This person was given the rank of lieutenant general in 1941 and helped Marshal Yeremenko defend Stalingrad. Championed by Lazar Kaganovich, he delivered a speech about the personality cult and its consequences, shortly around the time the Anti-Party group tried to depose him. Becoming leader of his country after fighting with Georgy Malenkov, his ascent led to a period of time in which gulag political prisoners were released and many art works were allowed to be published. For 10 points, name the shoe-banging enthusiast and premier of the USSR from 1958-64 that thawed out the Soviet Union after Stalin's death.
