Konstantin Chernenko
1911 CE–1985 CE · Moscow
Konstantin Chernenko (1911–1985) was a veteran Communist Party official who became General Secretary in 1984 following the death of Yuri Andropov. A close associate of the late Leonid Brezhnev, his selection represented a brief return to influence for the older, more conservative party establishment. Already elderly and seriously ill when he took office, he was largely unable to pursue significant initiatives. He led the Soviet Union for only about thirteen months before his death in 1985, after which Mikhail Gorbachev succeeded him.
