Chernenko immersed himself in ideological and party work; he headed Soviet delegations abroad, accompanied Brezhnev to important conference and was on the commission that set up the new Soviet Constitution of 1977. He also participated in Communist Party congresses in Austria, France, Denmark and Greece and frequently met with foreign visitors and delegations. In 1979 Chernenko took part in the Vienna arms limitation talks.
Chernenko immersed himself in ideological and party work; he headed Soviet delegations abroad, accompanied Brezhnev to important conference and was on the commission that set up the new Soviet Constitution of 1977. He participated in leftwing Communist Party congresses of [[Austria]], [[France]], [[Denmark]] and [[Greece]] and frequently met with foreign visitors and delegations. In 1979 Chernenko took part in the [[Vienna]] arms limitation talks.
Chernenko published numerous articles on the pages of Soviet newspapers and, by the 80's, he had written more books than all the other Politburo members put together. Chernenko's books addressed a wide range of topics and ideas: from the [[politically correct]] principles of [[Marxist-Leninist]] thinking to [[women's rights]], from educational reform to the [[economy]], from the Marxist perception of [[human rights]] to ways of re-inventing government bureaucracy.
