Used coercive powers of the state to implement his social and economic changes (many Russians directly or indirectly killed). Led the USSR during WW2 and controlled the Soviet block during the beginning of the Cold War era.

Khrushchev

Nikita Khrushchev Emerged as the top Soviet after a serous intra party struggle. Denounced the excesses of Stalin in his so called “Secret Speech” in Relaxed (a bit) Stalin totalitarian control of society. Supported and spread Communism into Eastern Europe. Provoked the Cuban missile crisis with USA.

Brezhnev

Leonid Brezhnev Helped force Khrushchev from power. Emphasized stability in policy and leadership during his reign in power. However this was also a period where there was a serious lack of innovation and noticeable aging of the Communist leadership. Continued to build up military. Ordered the invasion of Afghanistan – Uh ohh!
