After his death (on May, 27th, 1964) against this course approach not only the right opposition, but also reactionary forces closed with it in party in power INK which political positions in the country began to weaken have led. Position was aggravated with an economic crisis of the middle of 60th years when rates of accumulation and capital investments in economy have sharply decreased, inflation promptly grew and position of weights worsened. Crisis has been caused, on the one hand, by droughts of 1965-1967, with another, and this main thing, - deepening of contradictions of bourgeois development of the country, incompleteness of the proclaimed social and economic transformations.
