Brezhnev postponed the Plenum and, with only a few of his closest advisers, went to Belorussia to consult with Minister of Defense A.A. Grechko [who was leading military maneuvers] as well as other marshals and generals.
The main focus of Plenum is forgotten, and Brezhnev's speech taken as a "directive" by most Party functionaries.

 CDI Russia Weekly 10 September 1999
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.
After graduating, Brezhnev worked for the Foreign Trade Ministry, which his father headed as minister.
With these questions in mind, I met Brezhnev outside the State Duma (lower house of parliament) offices of Alexei Mitrofanov, the top Liberal Democratic Party Duma deputy, whom Brezhnev advises.

 RIP, Leonid Ilych
- 20 years ago, on November 10, 1982, Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev died at the age of 76.
Could his colleagues in the Politburo, who took over the rule for the next three years, chose a new direction for the country?
Against that background, Gorbachev and his democratic team looked as up-to-date, successful leaders who knew quite well how to give the "stagnant" USSR new impetuses of development.

Named chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet in 1960, he resigned in 1964 to become Khrushchev's direct assistant as second secretary of the Central Committee.
Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, leader of one of the two most powerful nations in the world, was born to Russian parents in the Ukrainian mining town of Kamensk in 1906.
