- Soviet Prime Minister, Leonid Breshnev, has died. He was 75 years old.
Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev (19 December 1906 - 10 November 1982) was a Soviet politician who led the Soviet Union as General Secretary of the governing Communist Party (1964-1982) and as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (1960-1964, 1977-1982). His 18-year term as general secretary was second only to Joseph Stalin's in duration. While Brezhnev's rule was characterised by political stability and notable foreign policy successes, it was also marked by corruption, inefficiency, economic stagnation, and rapidly growing technological gaps with the West.
November 10, 1982. The same day that my beloved aunt died. Ironically, she and Breshnev were the same age. I miss those 4 Milky Way bars at Christmas. We will never forget you, Aunt Katie.
And thus began one of the most frustrating periods in Cold War history for the American diplomats. Two more Soviet leaders dead within three years, and each time relationships would have to start all over again. As Reagan finally vented in exasperation, "How can I make peace with the Russians when they keep dying on me?"
Soviet Union had 18 years of stability and then torn apart by that recidivist Gorbachev who succeeded Chernenko.
@@antoniosilvestro9045 Stability yeah more like peace of a graveyard.
@@atulvaibhav5376 can you explain in proper English 😆 lol
@@antoniosilvestro9045he did. You just can't comprehend basic English, instead needing cartoon faces.
@@67marlins western terrorists caused two world wars and then formed NATO and the EU and keep invading everyone like Iraq etc and nuked Japan and destabilised the Middle East and the planet and slaughtered millions in concentration camps and divided Korea and Ireland and India etc
his lastname is not "breshniv", he is "brezhnev"
Crazy the deaths of the aging leaders of the Soviet Union popping off one after the other in the space of a few short years.First Leonid Brezhnev in 82, then Yuri Andropov in 84, then Konstantin Chernenko in March of 1985.
Ustinov, Tsvigun, Suslov, Kosygin, Masherov, Kulakov, Pelshe. Those people were members of Politburo, and they died (especially unordinary Masherov and Kulakov) as leaders of USSR. Not only the head of the state, but governors were also very old. At the moment, when Brezhnev died, Scherbitsky, Gorbachev and Romanov were the youngest Politburo members, and future leader of independent Russia Boris Yeltsin took a part in central committee of communist party of Soviet Union. He had met Brezhnev personaly and had some influence on politburo and Brezhnev, he also was leading the Sverdlovsk oblast, now it is Yekaterinburg.
Such a good news announcement!Accurate, fair, and with no over the top sensationalism!
Very strange indeed.
Strange for today but normal back then.
That was the start of the end of Cole War
His health took a bad turn at the start of the year, and he'd had heart issues starting in '73', I believe.
He was a Ukrainian, one of many that headed the CCCP.
RIP
Leonid Brezhnev
(1906-1982)
ты жалок
Rest in peace Leonid...
True, even though he looked like The Wreck of the Hesperus, it still was met with a little surprise by the west. I was with NATO in Germany, and we went on alert. (A coup, perhaps?).
So sad. The beginning of the end for the USSR, and therefore the world.
But he did help to bring the multipolar world we're entering now.
The world still exists, and is much more prosperous now that the USSR is gone
