Chernenko imagined himself a Great Charismatic leader in the mold of Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Brezhnev.
Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko (1911-1985) was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) between 13 February 1984 and his death on 10 March 1985.
Following the death of 76 year old Leonid Brezhnev who was in power for 18 years during the Years of Stagnation, 70 year old Yuri Andropov assumed power for 15 months until his death, followed by the relatively unknown 74 year old Konstantin Chernenko who ruled for 13 months until his death. Chernenko was succeeded by the 52 year old reform-minded Mikhail Gorbachev who led the communist Soviet Union to final dissolution.
The son of a miner, Chernenko served in World War II as the zampolit (political officer) for a P-39 Airacobra squadron.
