OK, two things he did right.

The fallout from the sinosoviet split and destalinization can't be overstated though.

I think they can be overblamed on him. The corncob in charge may have fucked up majorly with regards to destalinzation. I'll even grant you that it's 100% a bad decision and 100% his fuck up. We can even pretend he was the only guy who wanted to do and it was never gonna happen without him and he is entirely to blame. That does not in any way justify splitting the international communist movement to go play around with the US, a flawed socialist country is still better than the great Satan
