>If you are in a dictatorship, that acknowledgement of a past wrong is absolutely impossible

Immediately after Stalin died Khruschev went on to destalinize the country, with the USSR still being a "dictatorship" by any reasonable definition.

Did he apologize for any of Stalin’s actions? That’s was parent is saying. There was no apology for Holomodor, for example.

Yes, that was the whole point, he explicitly went around apologizing for Stalin and a lot of the stuff he did.. Rehabilitation of Volga germans, freeing political prisoners, partial? abolition of prison labor, shaming/removing Stalin's lieutenants, etc.

>There was no apology for Holodomor

There wasn't any apology for that, not that I'm aware of.
