 | | Brezhnev became Party First Secretary, Aleksei Kosygin became Prime Minister and Mikoyan became head of state. | | | In 1959 Brezhnev became Second Secretary of the Central Committee and in May 1960 was promoted to the post of President of the Praesidium of the Supreme Soviet, making him nominal head of state. | | | Although Brezhnev was not made a Politburo member, he was instead appointed head of the Political Directorate of the Army and the Navy, with rank of Lieutenant-General, a very senior position. |

| Â | Brezhnev's grandson looks back |
| | Brezhnev says he respects the former general secretary, to whom he refers by his first name and patronymic - Leonid Ilych - for undertaking strategic decisions for the state and because of his relations with different members of the Politburo. | | | After graduating, Brezhnev worked for the Foreign Trade Ministry, which his father headed as minister. | | | Earlier this year, Brezhnev signed up to run in last week's Sverdlovsk gubernatorial elections, but the local electoral commission refused him registration ahead of the election, ruling that a number of the roughly 30,000 signatures he needed to collect had been falsified. |

| | In May 1960 he was elected chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, a post equivalent to chief of state. | | | When Andropov died in February 1984, 73-year-old apparatchik Chernenko was made General Secretary, with Gorbachev becoming the second secretary. | | | Yuri Andropov had been the head of the KGB since 1967 (15 years) and a full Politburo member for nine years, and while party fragmentation and the fading of long term hierarchies were occurring people who headed non party structures had gained influence, like Andropov's KGB, minister of defense Dimitri Ustinov and foreign minister Gromyko. |

| | In 1977 Brezhnev replaced Podgorny as chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet and thus became head of state as well as head of the Communist Party. | | | From 1960 to July 1964 he served as chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the largely ceremonial position of head of state. | | | Brezhnev was elected as a full member of the Presidium in 1957. |

| Â | Part Six: The Period of Stagnation |
| | In 1980, after the arrest of 300 officials in the "Sochi caviar" scandal, Brezhnev's family was investigated for involvement in corruption. | | | This explains the worried tone of Brezhnev's speech at the 23rd Party Congress in 1966: | | | Under Brezhnev this was no longer the case. |

| | This ushered in what became known in later years as the "era of stagnation". | | | Khrushchev who, throughout his period of power, oscillated between the poles of radical de-Stalinisation (known as the "thaw") and defence of the old order (such as through the invasion of Hungary in 1956) was, in 1964, removed by internal party coup lead by Leonid Brezhnev that ruled until his death in 1982. | | | President Mikhail Gorbachev dramatically reformed the oppressive nature of the Soviet government in the 1980s with his glasnost, or openness program, under which people were no longer put to prison for criticizing the government. |

| | FOM: Public Opinion Foundation (Russia) > The blessing of stability or the misery of stagnation? | | | Stagnation in the economy, the social sphere and in public moods are, some experts think, tantamount to a slowdown in reforms, due to the federal government's lack of an ideology of dynamic development. | | | Russians feel there have been changes for the better in the country’s economic, political and social life in the past three years. |

| Â | Russians remember Brezhnev (ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY ALERT) |
| | He lived only until February 1984, and his successor, Konstantin Chernenko, was also ill. | | | Yet many Russians remain nostalgic for the law and order of Brezhnev's Soviet Union. | | | Perhaps the worst part of Brezhnev's legacy was that the Soviet Union continued to slide into poverty after his death because of the inability of the Communist Party leadership to accept reform. |

| | In 1971 the post-war monetary order based on the dollar, known as Bretton Woods, collapsed; and in 1973 the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East led to a quadrupling of oil prices, accompanied by global stagnation and inflation. | | | A less propitious period for introducing monetary union could scarcely be imagined, and the project soon disintegrated, after two attempts at fixing European parities (the 'Snake' and the 'Snake in the tunnel') had fallen apart. | | | It was a period of intense currency instability, with a strong D-Mark and a weak French franc both parting company from the dollar, itself suffering from a US balance of payments crisis. |
