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.
