Kremlinologists expect that Podgorny, 74, will be formally ousted from the presidency when the Supreme Soviet, the U.S.S.R.'s rubber-stamp parliament, gathers later this month.
By their accounts, Podgorny stood in the way of Brezhnev's wish to add the presidency to the host of new titles, honors and decorations that he has garnered since his birthday in December.
Podgorny may also have opposed one of Brezhnev's pet projects: a new constitution, which is scheduled to be made public this week.

Trained as an engineer, Nikolai Podgorny climbed the Communist Party ranks through a series of regional posts until his election to the Politburo in 1960.
He was soon embroiled in a power struggle with Leonid Brezhnev, who persuaded Podgorny in 1965 to accept the figurehead of Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.
A little more than a decade later, Brezhnev evidently had no more use for the man and forced Podgorny into retirement.

 Myortvy Dom | MTV MOVIES
Starring: Nikolai Khmelev, Nikolai Podgorny, Nikolai Vitovtov View All
Based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky's autobiographical novel recounting his youthful dallies with socialism -- which led to his near-execution and exile in Siberia -- Myortvy Dom revolves around the question of rebelling against the myriad injustices of imperial tyranny versus submitting to God's will.
Starring Nikolai Khmelyov as Dostoyevsky, the film received an overwhelmingly negative reception when it was first released in 1932; faulted for sentimentalism and formalism, it was also attacked for failing to show sufficient antipathy towards its subject, who held a place on the Revolution's fllist.

In December 1965, for example, he succeeded in elevating Podgorny to the ceremonial position of chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the highest legislative organization in the government, thus eliminating him as a rival.
