Mr. Brezhnev (second row from bottom, first on the right, only person with no hand up) sitting in Parliament in Moscow 16 June 1977 as members of the Communist Party Politburo voted for him to succeed Mr. Podgorny as president. Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev (December 19, 1906 [O.S. December 6, 1906] - November 10, 1982) was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (and thus political leader of the USSR) from 1964 to 1982, serving in that position longer than anyone other than Joseph Stalin. He was twice Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (head of state), from 1960 to 1964 and from 1977 to 1982. © TopFoto.
