Konstantin Chernenko was a Soviet politician who served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1984 until his death in 1985. His leadership was marked by a continuation of the policies of his predecessor, Leonid Brezhnev, and he focused on maintaining stability within the party during a time of economic stagnation. Chernenko's tenure was brief and characterized by limited reform, and he is often remembered for his poor health and the lack of significant progress in addressing the challenges facing the Soviet Union.

Who were the dictators in the Soviet Union after WWII?

In Communist Russia the leaders - with the exeption of Josef Stalin - cannot really be called 'dictators'.

The postwar Soviet leaders were succesively: Josef Stalin, Georgy Malenkov (very briefly); Nikita Krushchev, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Konstantin Chernenko and Mikhail Gorbachev.
