Please allow me to introduce you to the latest contraption from The Land of Small-Mindedness: Conservapedia. Get it? Conservapedia? Isn’t that oh-so cute and clever? Apparently dissatisfied with Wikipedia’s general tendency toward striving for factual accuracy, far-Right twits have devised this insult to human intellect. Why the need for a “conservative” version of Wikipedia? Look no further than this alarming fact:

On Wikipedia, many of the dates are provided in the anti-Christian “C.E.” instead of “A.D.”, which Conservapedia uses.

How dare those liberal Jesus-haters reference an alternative dating standard! Why, that’s certainly anti-Christian!

Seriously, this is demagogical lunacy of the highest order. For even more of a giggle I suggest you search for “homosexuality,” “abortion,” and “evolution.” Just be careful you don’t laugh so hard you make yourself sick.

It technically was a Soviet policy.  Wikipedia itself has an article that sites the name, though it’s hyphenated and not an actual proper name.
Wikipedia - de-stalinization, so I suspect conservapedia is serious about it.  The fundies tend to make up new labels for stuff from existing names and ideas so they can keep everything in nice, easily definable black and white terms.  For example, I’ve never called or considered myself an “Evolutionist”, or a “Darwinist”, though by the fundy definition I fit both.  I’d never, ever, ever call myself either one though.

I suspect “Destalinization” is of a similar vein.  Religious nuts, be they muslim or christian seem to require everything to be neatly defined, even though reality just isn’t really that convenient.  Its evidence of their faith based reality, as opposed to the reality based reality that rational people live in.
