Nikolai Alexandrovich Bulganin (June 11, 1895 – February 24, 1975)
He was Premier of the Soviet Union from 1955 until 1958.
Bulganin had come to share the doubts held about Khrushchev's
liberal policies by the conservative group (the so-called "Anti-Party Group")
led by Vyacheslav Molotov. In June, when the conservatives tried to remove
Khrushchev from power at a meeting of the Politburo, Bulganin vacillated
between the two camps. When the conservatives were defeated and removed
from power, Bulganin survived for a while, but in March 1958, at a session of the
Supreme Soviet, Khrushchev forced his resignation.
