	Wikinfo \| Leonid Brezhnev
		He was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982, and was twice Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (head of state), from 1960 to 1964 and from 1977 to 1982.

		A Soviet statesman and Communist Party official, Brezhnev was, in effect, the leader of the Soviet Union for 18 years.

		After his death, he was criticized for a gradual slide in living standards, the spread of corruption and cronyism within the Soviet bureaucracy, and the generally stagnant and dispiriting character of Soviet life in the late 1970s and early '80s.
