Altogether , the changes in the Party Statutes did not mean that  the Soviet Party system had changed overnight and become fully democratic in what might be perceived in the western model or comprehension.  Everything must be placed in context of what went before and indeed what may come to be.  However the movement was certainly away from the edicts of Stalinism as well as the culture and practice of the Gulag.  The publication of the groundbreaking book of record "A Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich"  was more than telling..  The book was quickly published and republished.  Such a tale and novel could not even of been whispered previously without the telling awakening in the Siberian Gulag himself.  As Ivan noted at the end of the day full of misfortune , endless cold and corruption with half finished building projects littered wastefully across the landscape that in then end "they"  could not take your personal pride in your work away from you.  All in all he remarked that it had not been a bad day evoking the question from the reader - that if that was a good day - then what could a bad or even poor day be ?
