Mikhail Gorbachev replaced Konstantin Chernenko as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in March 1985. Chernenko had a brief tenure marked by ill health, and Gorbachev's leadership introduced significant reforms, including glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), which ultimately transformed the Soviet Union.
Nikita Khrushchev was the third leader. The order went Lenin, Stalin, Malenkov, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov, Tikhonov, Chernenko, Gorbachev.

The Soviet leaders after Stalin were: Georgy Malenkov (March 6 to March 13 1953) Nikita Khruschev (1953 - 1964) Leonid Brezhnev (1964 - 1982) Yuri Andropov (1982 - 1984) Konstantin Chernenko (1982 - 1985) Mikhail Gorbachev (1985 - 1991)
In Communist Russia the leaders - with the exeption of Josef Stalin - cannot really be called 'dictators'. Although they had considerable executive powers, they were answerable to the Politbureau of the Soviet Union, which had the very real power to appoint them, control them and fire them. The postwar Soviet leaders were succesively: Josef Stalin, Georgy Malenkov (very briefly); Nikita Krushchev, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Konstantin Chernenko and Mikhail Gorbachev.
