Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev was leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from 1964, till his death on November 10th, 1982. He lead the USSR through its most stable and prosperious time. Under his leadership the Soviet Union reached its highest levels of international prestige, influence, standard of living for the Soviet citizen, law & order, as well as military might. However his leadership was also marked with increased Communist Party corruption, and economic stagnation. When he died he left the Soviet Union in a grave state of long ignored economic stagnation, the reform of which would be left to his successors. Through his ups and downs, Brezhnev is remembered very fondly by older Russians. His funeral was held on November 15th, 1982.

Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov was leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from 12 November 1982, till his death on 9 February 1984. His funeral was held in Moscow on 14 February, 1984. Yuri Andropov took over from Leonid Brezhnev , after his death in November 1982. Andropov's rule was marked by a major crackdown on the corruption within the Communist Party ranks, a problem ignored by Brezhnev. Andropov also tried a hand at reforming the stagnant Soviet economy by making it more efficient and cracking down on the lack of labor discipline. Perhaps his greatest lasting legacy was his discovery of future Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and elevating him to a high position in the Politburo Central Committee of the CPSU. He remains an extremely popular leader among Soviet nostalgics, as well as historians alike. Yuri Andropov is a figure who remains subject to endless speculation to as if he lived longer, could he have prevented the collapse of the USSR?
