| | To be eligible for election to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR a citizen of the USSR must have reached the age of 21. | | | Similar to the idea of representative democracy in which representatives are elected to make decisions at a national level, the Supreme Soviet members were supposed to represent the will of all working people. | | | To be the leader of the party, but not formally of the state evidently irritated Leonid Brezhnev, and he made himself both the General Secretary of the party and the Chairman of Supreme Soviet. |
