Talk:20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

Old talk
An anon replaced "an Israeli Mossad agent" by "Jonathan Glasman". Since the contributor did nothing else useful, I reverted, until clarification. ("Jonathan Glasman" + Mossad and "Jonathan Glassman" + Mossad give 0 google hits. Needs further research. May be it was not mossad, or other type of typo in the name).

 * In fact, my brief search failed to find any other references to a mossad agent at the congress. If I fail to find an evidence, I think I'll remove this tidbit as well. Mikkalai 17:50, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

A piece removed until documented confirmation: ''However, an Israeli Mossad agent was secretly in attendance of the meeting, and obtained a copy of Khrushchev's speech. Within days the speech was circulated all over the western media, causing a massive embarrassment to the Soviet Union, and many conflicts in global communist movements.'' On the contrary, the speech was soon released first to regional party leadera, and then to the whole country. A week later you didn't have to be a mossad agent. Besides, there were no portable tape recorders. Did this mossad agent stenograph the speech? Mikkalai 00:05, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Quote
After the speech by Khrushchev someone in the audience shouted out and asked what he had been doing at the time. Khrushchev asked for the heckler to identify himself, the audience remained silent. Khrushchev responded "That is what I did, too".

I don't know if that is an urban myth, but if someone can confirm that did happen then I think it should be included in the article.--EchetusXe (talk) 15:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
