message: The article notes that during the 1956 Hungarian uprising "About 25,000 to 50,000 Hungarian insurgents and 7,000 Soviet troops were killed", therefore contradicting the actual 1956 Hungarian uprising article. Can anyone confirm these figures?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bokskar (talk • contribs) 01:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm just a layman so don't like to edit anything, but in the paragraph talking about Khrushchev's relaxing of censorship in the arts it kind of gives the impression that all repression of artistic expression was voluntary on the part of the artists and authors. I don't mean to suggest that any of the information here is inaccurate: of course people didn't want to get into trouble. It just seems to me that there ought to be another sentence here explaining that censorship was still very active in the USSR during this time, and this is what lead to artists still conforming to the state, eg Pasternak not collecting his Nobel Prize due to threats from the gvmt.
I recognise that this is covered more in depth in Khrushchev's article, but surely a little bit of clarification here couldn't hurt, if anyone has the time or patience to add it in.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.172.38.190 (talk) 12:14, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Khrushchev and Censorship 

message: A recently published book about Russian elite forces, which seems serious, mentions that in May 1954 there would have been revolts in a number of Soviet cities that were crushed and information about them silenced. Cities specifically mentioned are Kingirsk and Dzjezkagansk (N.B. there may be other transcribations of these names). Anyone having any additional information about this?150.227.15.253 (talk) 14:52, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
