After many years as a loyal and effective member of the Communist Party, Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko (1911-1985) ruled the Soviet Union as general secretary for 13 months between February 1984 and March 1985.
The year 1929 marked the beginning of forced draft collectivization in Soviet Russia, and a person in Chernenko's position would have played a role in the forceable creation of collective and state farms around Krasnoiarsk, as well as in the expulsion of those considered kulaks (wealthier peasants).
Chernenko was known as a moderate and compromiser, a man unwilling or unable to initiate sharp changes in Soviet policy or to offend various groups of Kremlin leaders identified with competing policies or positions.

VLADBARDISTOVAKOLDA (YU) – Unnamed sources close to the investigation into the escape of Timothy McVeigh just hours before his scheduled crucifixion now claim that former general secretary of the Communist party and chairman of the Presidium, Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko is considered a prime suspect.
Singer Christine McVie of the dinosaur rock group Fleetwood Mac was accidentally given the lethal injection intended for McVeigh and is presumed dead, according to autopsy reports.
Experts in Middle East affairs, including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, dismiss reports of Chernenko's involvement as “pure speculation.” Chernenko hasn't been seen since he reported himself missing in March of 1985 when Mikhail Gorbachev replaced him as leader of the former Soviet Union.
