After the war, he advocated for increasing basic industry and military strength, while Andrei Zhdanov prioritized ideology and living standards.[1] At the 19th Party Congress in 1952, Malenkov defended the purge of Trotskyists and Bukharinists. He also promoted self-criticism and party discipline and restated the importance of ideological work.[2]
After Stalin died in 1953, Malenkov became Premier of the Soviet Union and Khrushchev became General Secretary of the CPSU. In 1957, Khrushchev expelled Malenkov, Molotov, and Kaganovich from the Central Committee.[1]
