Odd choice to go with a fake quote on the real date of Khrushchev's probably most famous line about "Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!" which is referencing the communist manifesto

The development of Modern Industry, therefore, cuts from under its feet the very foundation on which the bourgeoisie produces and appropriates products. What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable.

Arguably "from within" but not anything Khrushchev or obviously Putin does, it's capitalism being a self-destructive loop.
