In 1953, Nikita Khrushchev became the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, after the death of Joseph Stalin. He reversed many of his predecessor's policies. As a matter of fact, his policy became known as the "destalinization" process. This period is known as "the thaw": the tensions between the USSR and the United States became more relaxed.

Khrushchev believed that the communist nations could live in peace with the democracies of the West and he intended to establish a peaceful coexistence. Moreover, he tried to modernize Russia and to give more freedom to its citizens. He eliminated show trials, replacing them with actual court systems, and he rid the USSR of purges. Khrushchev also allowed more freedom of speech and criticism of Stalin: at the XX Party Congress (in 1956), he announced that Stalin had made many mistakes during his reign.

Khrushchev tried to reform collectivized agriculture and to shake up the Communist Party, but the Party forced him out in 1964. His successor was Leonid Brezhnev (1964 - 1982).

The West regards Khrushchev as unpredictable, espacially because of his action during the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962).

Like John Lennon, Bob Marley talk about jesus in his song.

PEACE AND LOVE is his message. In this very famous song Bob says that you must stand up for your rights. He want you to understand that you have all the control and you can do what you want to do, just shearch the peace and the happiness in our world.

 Lyrics:
"Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!

Preacher man, don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What life is really worth
It's not all that glitters is gold
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light , eh!
You stand up for your rights, come on!

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight!

Most people think
Great God will come from the sky
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You will look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your rights, yeah!

We're sick an' tired of your ism-skism game
Dyin' and goin' to heaven in a Jesus' name, Lord
We know when we understand
Almighty God is a living man
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?)
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

So you better
Get up, stand up! (In the morning! Get it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Stand up for our rights!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (Don't give it up, don't give it up!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up!
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight!" Bob Marley.

Many people take Bob Marley as a preacher and a god. We can see in some "blog" the love of the people for him.
