Leonid Brezhnev

1906–1982

Leonid Brezhnev was a Soviet politician who led the Soviet Union as General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1964 until his death in 1982. His era, known as the 'Era of Stagnation,' was marked by political conservatism, economic slowdown, and a focus on stability and détente with the West. He oversaw the expansion of the Soviet military and the invasion of Afghanistan, while his leadership style emphasized collective decision-making and ideological orthodoxy.
