Answer

Molotov harshly criticized Nikita Khrushchev among Stalin's successors. After Stalin's death in 1953, Molotov and Malenkov were rivals for power. Molotov initially supported Khrushchev, but he became critical of Khrushchev's policies, particularly his de-Stalinization campaign. In 1957, Molotov and Malenkov were ousted from the government in a power struggle led by Khrushchev.
