Konstantin Chernenko rose to power as the Soviet leader after Yuri Andropov's death from complications of kidney and heart disease after just 15 months in office. Chernenko's appointment was contested by Mikhail Gorbachev, who formed a temporary alliance with another reformer, but Gorbachev allowed Chernenko to lead knowing he would succeed the aging leader. However, Chernenko himself only led for 13 months before dying in office, paving the way for Gorbachev to become the new Soviet leader.

Reasons the Cold War ended - role of Mikhail Gorbachev
Mikhail Gorbachev introduced major reforms as the leader of the Soviet Union in the 1980s that ultimately led to the end of the Cold War. His policies of perestroika and glasnost relaxed central government control of the economy and increased openness and transparency, moving the USSR away from strict Communist rule. Gorbachev's reforms transformed the Soviet system and its adversarial relationship with the West, bringing the decades-long Cold War confrontation to a peaceful conclusion.
Reasons the Cold War ended - failure of communism in Eastern Europe
During the 1980s, growing anti-Soviet protests in Poland and Eastern Europe weakened Soviet control over the Eastern Bloc. In Poland, the Solidarity trade union movement led by Lech Walesa gained over 10 million members and inspired protests against food shortages, high prices, and lack of religious freedom. Mikhail Gorbachev's leadership allowed the changes in Poland to occur without Soviet intervention, emboldening other Eastern European nations to demand freedom. The opening of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and free elections in Eastern Europe ended Communist rule as the Cold War drew to a close.

Katyn Massacre Memorial - Russia
The Katyn massacre was the mass murder of thousands of Polish military officers, policemen, intellectuals and civilian prisoners of war by the Soviet NKVD in 1940. Those killed included generals, colonels, majors, captains, professors, physicians, lawyers, engineers, teachers, writers and journalists. In 2010, the Polish President and many other high-ranking officials were killed when their plane crashed in Russia while traveling to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre. The commemoration events were split due to political conflicts between the Polish government and president.
1, the soviet union and brezhnev
The document discusses the rule of Leonid Brezhnev as leader of the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982. Some key characteristics of Brezhnev's rule included consolidating power through cult of personality tactics while presenting a more cautious leadership style than his predecessor, Nikita Khrushchev. The Soviet economy stagnated under Brezhnev's policies of maintaining a command economy and central control over industries and agriculture, which led to inefficiencies. Production of consumer goods increased but could not keep up with demand.

Political developments in the Soviet Union following World War II saw Andrei Zhdanov promote strict conformity to the Communist Party line. However, fewer Communists were purged during this time compared to the Great Terror. The growth of the Cold War and conflict with the West led to increased nationalism in the Soviet Union. With Stalin growing frail and Zhdanov's death in 1948, other Communist leaders like Beria and Malenkov launched purges in Leningrad and Georgia to position themselves as Stalin's successor. Anti-Semitism also increased as several Russian Jews were executed for treason in fabricated cases.
Political Developments 1945 1953
Andrei Zhdanov was a leading figure in the Soviet regime after 1945 who promoted strict conformity to the Party line. He opposed Western influences like jazz and dictated cultural policies. As the Cold War emerged, he led a campaign against "cosmopolitanism" and promoted Russian nationalism. With Stalin growing frail and Zhdanov's sudden death in 1948, other Communists jockeyed for power. Beria and Malenkov launched a purge of Leningrad Party officials in which over 200 were arrested and some executed. They also orchestrated a purge of officials in Georgia, seen as an attack on Beria, who was allowed to survive. In 1948 and 1953, there were also
Causes of the Cold War - ideological differences
The Cold War started due to ideological differences between the capitalist United States and communist Soviet Union. The US believed in individual freedoms and free markets while the USSR promoted atheism and a command economy. Both sides wanted to spread their influence globally and feared the other, causing tensions. The US sought to contain communism through actions like the Marshall Plan and military alliances. However, some historians argue the rivalry was exaggerated as the two countries had been allies in WWII, and neither believed the other could survive long-term.

Perestroika
Perestroika was Gorbachev's attempt to reform the Soviet system and address its economic problems. The biggest resistance came from party elites who benefited from the existing system. The military-industrial complex also opposed reforms that might divert resources away from them. Gorbachev initially tried accelerating economic growth through the existing system but this had little effect. He faced ongoing economic problems like food shortages and higher prices. Gorbachev then introduced political reforms to increase participation and accountability.
Perestroika 1989 1991
The economic situation in the Soviet Union was deteriorating due to political reforms weakening central planning agencies' authority. Major strikes by miners and railway workers occurred in the late 1980s and early 1990s due to low pay. By summer 1990, it was clear there was a major economic crisis and reforms were needed to the economic system to prevent disaster. An economic reform team led by Stanislav Shatalin proposed rapid market reforms (the Shatalin Plan), but Gorbachev rejected it due to concerns it went too far. The compromise package implemented in October 1990 satisfied few and the planned economy continued to break down.
Nationalism
The document discusses the rise of nationalism within the Soviet Republics and its role in the ultimate dissolution of the USSR. It examines how Gorbachev's reforms of glasnost and perestroika weakened central control from Moscow and emboldened minority groups to voice discontent. While Gorbachev's focus was initially on domestic political and economic issues, nationalism emerged as a serious threat to Soviet unity. The document also analyzes Brezhnev's policies toward the Republics and how they contributed to nationalist tensions.
Gorbachev’s parliamentary democracy and presidency
The Congress of People's Deputies in 1989 was largely ceremonial and met only a few days a year to ratify decisions made by the party and government. It elected the Supreme Soviet to carry out legislative functions in between sessions. The Supreme Soviet served as a permanent legislature that decided most issues, while amendments to the Soviet Constitution were left to the full Congress. The Council of Ministers administered all aspects of Soviet life and managed the economy through decrees that had the same legal power as laws passed by the Supreme Soviet.
Perestroika 1989 1991
Central planning agencies in the Soviet Union found it increasingly difficult to assert authority as political changes weakened the economics of perestroika. Major economic disturbances like miners' strikes spread across the country in the late 1980s and early 1990s. By 1990, it was clear there was a major economic crisis and reforms were needed to the Soviet system to prevent disaster. A team led by Stanislav Shatalin proposed economic reforms, but Gorbachev rejected the Shatalin Plan and instead implemented a compromise package in October 1990 that satisfied few people.
Mikhail gorbachev
Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in 1985 and unleashed reforms that ultimately led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union just 7 years later. While not every crisis necessarily leads to collapse, Gorbachev's policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) exacerbated long-standing structural issues in the Soviet system by giving citizens a voice to express dissatisfaction and allowing discussion of problems like economic stagnation. However, Gorbachev did not initially intend to radically reform the political system, believing change could occur within existing Communist structures. His leadership style of engaging with citizens differed from his predecessors and helped consolidate his power over rivals within the Soviet government.
Glasnost
Glasnost means "openness" or "publicity". Gorbachev introduced glasnost to allow for open debate and explain decisions, though he did not advocate for complete freedom of speech. There were two main reasons for glasnost: to help people understand necessary changes and to expose corruption. However, the Chernobyl disaster showed flaws in glasnost as the Soviet media remained silent while foreign media heavily covered it.
Rise of andropov
- Brezhnev's health declined in the 1970s as he suffered two strokes, and he was increasingly absent from his duties. He died in November 1982 after standing for hours in freezing conditions.
- There was a power struggle between Andropov and Chernenko to succeed Brezhnev. Chernenko was backed by Brezhnev but Andropov was supported by the KGB and military.
- Andropov campaigned against corruption and implicitly criticized the Brezhnev regime, which was seen as an attack on both Brezhnev and his ally Chernenko. Andropov was elected as the new Soviet leader.
Stagnation
Under Brezhnev in the 1980s, the Soviet Union devoted a quarter of its economy to the military. While poorer than the US, the USSR spent over twice as much of its wealth on defense. This was due to humiliation from the Cuban Missile Crisis and not wanting a similar occurrence. However, the large military spending was seriously endangering the Soviet economy through overstretch. Most historians view Brezhnev negatively, saying he symbolized the decline of the USSR through inability to give ideology meaning. Negative assessments of Brezhnev include economic mismanagement that reduced living standards and political repression without providing new goals.
Rise Of Brezhnev
Leonid Brezhnev rose to power in the Soviet Union after 1968, consolidating his control over the next 14 years as leader. He had a long career in the Communist party before becoming head of state. When he took over leadership, Brezhnev worked to strengthen his position by placing allies in important government roles. Alexei Kosygin was a high-ranking official who served as Premier under Brezhnev after having a career in government and industry.
The repression of dissidence
The document discusses dissent and artistic expression under Soviet leadership. It explains that while dissent was too dangerous under Stalin, people were more willing to express opinions after Khrushchev challenged Communist infallibility. However, political dissent was still rare. The document also notes that Brezhnev allowed art that reflected the views of the working class but did not tolerate "art for art's sake." Those who challenged the system through artistic or intellectual expression became known as dissidents.
Examine different types of dissent within the ussr
There were various forms of dissent against the Soviet regime under Brezhnev, including human rights activists who used the Helsinki Accords to demand more freedoms. The KGB actively cracked down on dissidents through threats, job removal, imprisonment in labor camps or mental hospitals. Religious groups like Jews, Catholics, and Muslims faced repression. The Afghan war from 1979 and subsequent international backlash further criticized the regime. However, by the 1980s most prominent dissidents were imprisoned or exiled, and dissent publications were less common, showing the regime was ultimately successful in limiting major opposition.
Economic stagnation
The Soviet economy was in decline due to several social, political, and economic factors:
1. The Soviet economy relied on outdated technology and faced a declining working population as birth rates fell outside of central Asia.
2. Resources were drained by the Soviet Union's emphasis on military spending.
3. There was widespread corruption, as factory managers lied about production and payroll. Citizens contributed to the black market economy to obtain goods, undermining the official Soviet regime.
Czechoslovakia and helsinki
In the 1960s, Czechoslovakia posed a threat to Soviet domination as Alexander Dubcek implemented reforms promoting "socialism with a human face", including less censorship and more freedoms. This Prague Spring relaxed controls and saw open criticism of Communist leaders on television and radio. In August 1968, the Soviets and other Warsaw Pact nations grew concerned with the reforms and invaded Czechoslovakia with little resistance, demoting Dubcek and ending the reforms. While Dubcek's vision was silenced, the 1975 Helsinki Accords later promoted human rights standards that emboldened dissident movements within the Eastern Bloc.
Brezhnev’s social policies
Brezhnev wished to define a new era of "developed" socialism with a 1977 constitution that declared the USSR a mature socialist society, guaranteeing some freedoms but allowing the state to override them if they threatened societal interests. Urban populations grew as life expectancy declined due to alcoholism, pollution, and low birth rates from fewer men after WWII.
How Secure Was The Ussr’S Control Over Eastern Europe
The document summarizes key events surrounding the Hungarian uprising of 1956 against Soviet control. It notes that Hungary had resented the USSR's totalitarian regime and sought reforms under Prime Minister Imre Nagy. Nagy began implementing democratic reforms which threatened Soviet dominance, including giving back land to farmers and disbanding the secret police. When Hungary expressed a desire to leave the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact, the USSR responded by invading Hungary with 200,000 troops and 2,500 tanks on November 4th. Despite appeals to the West, fighting between Soviet forces and Hungarian resistance lasted two weeks, resulting in over 2000 Soviet and 4000 Hungarian casualties. After the uprising, Janos Kadar was installed as the new Soviet-backed leader of
De Stalinisation
The document discusses Khrushchev's reforms in the Soviet Union after Stalin's death, known as "de-Stalinization". It aims to provide context around de-Stalinization by describing cultural reforms allowing more freedom of expression, the rehabilitations of figures like the composer Shostakovich, and encouraging visits from other countries. However, de-Stalinization still had limits, as shown by an event in 1962 in Novocherkassk where the Soviet government violently suppressed a workers' protest, demonstrating the regime still relied on fear and control over its citizens.
Cuban Missile Crisis
This document provides background information on the Cuban Missile Crisis and Khrushchev's policy of de-Stalinization. It discusses how Castro came to power in Cuba and requested help from Khrushchev. Khrushchev agreed to place nuclear missiles in Cuba, angering the US and leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Khrushchev eventually backed down, seen as weak. The document also notes that de-Stalinization caused tensions with China, and Khrushchev's foreign policy was contradictory in advocating "peaceful coexistence" but placing missiles near the US. Khrushchev was eventually ousted, partly due to backing down in Cuba.
Brezhnev And Kosygins Leadership
Khrushchev was removed from power due to opposition from a broad coalition of political elites who opposed his erratic leadership style. Brezhnev and Kosygin emerged as the new leaders, offering stability and predictability after Khrushchev. Brezhnev consolidated power by sidelining threats and promoting supporters while Kosygin served as an able administrator without ambitions of leadership, minimizing rivalry with Brezhnev. Their partnership provided stable leadership for the Soviet Union in contrast to Khrushchev's arbitrary policies.
Political And Social Reforms Of Khrushchev
Khrushchev implemented political and social reforms in the Soviet Union. He purged other party officials to consolidate his own power. Khrushchev also reformed the legal system to provide citizens with more protections and fairness. However, dissidents were still repressed. Khrushchev introduced reforms to improve workers' benefits and living standards, such as housing construction and education access. However, many of his reforms faced opposition from conservatives.
