'''Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev''' (/ˈbrɛʒnɛf/; Russian: Леони́д Ильи́ч Бре́жнев; <small>IPA:</small>[lʲɪɐˈnʲid ɪˈlʲjitɕ ˈbrʲɛʐnʲɪf]; Ukrainian: Леоні́д Іллі́ч Бре́жнєв, 19 December 1906 <small>(O.S. 6 December)</small> – 10 November 1982) was the General Secretary of the Central Committee (CC) of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), presiding over the country for most of the [[Cold War]], from 1964 until his death in 1982.

His eighteen-year term as General Secretary was second only to that of [[~~Josef~~ Stalin]] in duration. During Brezhnev's rule, the global influence of the Soviet Union grew dramatically, in part because of the expansion of the Soviet military during this time. His tenure as leader was marked by the beginning of an era of economic and social stagnation in the Soviet Union.
