NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLOT TO OUST NIKITA SERGEYEVICH KHRUSHCHEV HAS RECENTLY COME TO LIGHT. THIS INFORMATION, MOST OF WHICH HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY LEADING SOVIET OFFICIALS OF THE TIME WHO WERE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE CONSPIRACY, UNDERMINES THE CONVENTIONAL VIEW THAT KHRUSCHEV'S POLITICAL OPPONENTS--NOTABLY MIKHAIL SUSLOV--LED THE PLOT. MOST RECENT VERSIONS ASSERT THAT SUSLOV HAD LITTLE TO DO WITH IT. INSTEAD, THE PLOT TO OVERTHROW KHRUSHCHEV WAS LED BY HIS OWN PROTEGES--LEONID BREZHNEV, NIKOLAY PODGORNYY, AND ALEKSANDR SHELEPIN.
