Description

Leonid Brezhnev led the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982, longer than any Soviet leader except Stalin. This Routledge study examines how Soviet power appeared ascendant during Brezhnev's era, with rising living standards, nuclear capabilities, and successful space missions establishing the USSR as a global superpower. Yet beneath this veneer of strength lay the roots of collapse. This comprehensive overview reassesses Brezhnev's entire political journey from early career through his leadership, revealing how decisions made during his tenure ultimately sowed the seeds of Soviet decline. The book traces the contradictions between perceived strength and underlying structural weaknesses that would define the final decades of the Soviet state, offering scholars and history enthusiasts a critical examination of one of the twentieth century's most consequential leaders and the pivotal period he oversaw.

Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Russia and Eastern Europe series, offering scholarly analysis grounded in established academic tradition.
