In February 1956, Khrushchev revealed the truth of
Stalin s tyrannical years in power. The impact of
these revelations was felt throughout the
international Communist community. Historical
discussion has presented this period as one of
significant doubt and questioning amongst Communist
Parties throughout the world, in particular within
the ranks of parties in capitalist countries such as
Australia. The accepted view has been that the
Australian Party leadership actively discouraged
discussion and debate of the content of what became
known as Khrushchev s Secret Speech . A
re-examination of the period reveals that the
eventual reaction of the Communist Party of Australia
was not to allow discussion of the Secret
Speech .However, the initial reaction of the leaders
was less decisive. What emerges throughout this book
is a leadership response that was confused. Indeed,
until the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
released its official statement Khrushchev s
revelations in June, the leadership response can be
characterised as directionless at best.
