In 1956, protests against Khrushchev's Secret Speech were crushed by the Soviet Army in which city?

• A. Leningrad
• B. Moscow
• C. Baku
• D. Tbilisi

Answer: (D)

This question tests your knowledge of where the crackdown on protests against Khrushchev’s Secret Speech occurred in 1956. The Secret Speech criticized Stalin’s cult of personality and the purges, which sparked protests across several Soviet republics. In Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, demonstrations escalated, and the Soviet Army was dispatched to quell them, resulting in a violent suppression that became a key example of the regime using force to maintain control during the thaw. While unrest did appear in other places as well, the most notable military crackdown tied to the speech is in Tbilisi, making that city the correct answer.
