Who were Malenkov's political rivals discredited by him?

  • Alexey Kuznetsov, Nikolai Voznesensky

  • Yuri Gagarin, Sergey Korolev

  • Anastas Mikoyan, Vyacheslav Molotov

  • Nadezhda Krupskaya, Olga Kameneva

Answer

Malenkov successfully discredited two of his political rivals by claiming, wrongly, that Alexey Kuznetsov and Nikolai Voznesensky had engaged in anti-Soviet activities during World War II. This accusation of anti-Soviet behavior in wartime greatly damaged their reputations and marginalized them politically.
