There have been several. Joseph Stalin till he died in 1953. Followed by Nikita Krushchev till he was replaced by Leonid Brezhnev in 1964. He was the premier for the longest period of time till he died in 1979. There followed in quick succession Andropov and Cherikov-both were old men and died within 2 years of taking over the country. After that in 1985, the Politburo decided to elect someone that was young and that would stabilize the political situation. They chose Gorbachov and he served till there was a coup in 1991 and he was replaced by Boris Yeltsin. He was the last leader of the former Soviet Union.
