Isn’t the Internet great, dr x ! You can hide behind your monicker and throw insults around without feeling the need to base them on anything approaching a fact. What did you practice before the Internet? Primal Scream?

So Khruschev wasn’t a Stalinist nor the USSR from 1956.
So all those years of insults to fellow-socialists were wasted?
It’s getting harder to know which dead Russian to follow nowadays.

Interesting questions, I haven’t a definitive answer but I’d hesitantly suggest it was decreasingly Stalinist from 1956 onwards at least in terms of political practice.
But I think the speech itself is important because of what it represented in terms of a genuinely (albeit flawed) self-critical moment in the history of the USSR.
