He was a hardliner, probably had a bolt loose, and was responsible for the Cuban Missle Crisis. JFK stood up to him and he backed off.

Of course at the time he seemed like a hard liner to us,but in context he was a progressive and a pussy cat when compared to his predessesor Josef Stalin. You can imagine how much greater a threat to the world and his own people Stalin was.
Let us remember also that Khrushev while responsible for the Cuban Missle Crisis was the guy that thought twice about it and backed down.I would call that progressive by Soviet Union standards.

He was more of a hardliner. When he visited the USA his answer to a question was "we will bury you." This referred to the Soviet/communist economic model being more successful than the free market economy of the West. Gorbachev knew communism does not work and tried to institute western style reforms.
