CIA COMMENTS ON THE CHANGE IN SOVIET LEADERSHIP

Even in Stalin’s time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated.

Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of a team and it seems obvious that Khrushchev will be the new captain.
