Leonid Brezhnev
1906 CE–1982 CE · Moscow
Leonid Brezhnev (1906–1982) led the Soviet Union as General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1964 until his death, one of the longest tenures of any Soviet leader. His era brought military buildup to rough parity with the United States, a period of détente with the West, and relative domestic stability. It also saw the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia and, in 1979, the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, along with the suppression of dissent at home. The later years of his rule are widely described as a time of economic stagnation and institutional aging.
