| biography:
| Soviet politician, born in Shakhovskoye, W Russia. He joined the Communist Party in 1921, and was a member of the Central Committee from 1941 until his death. An ideologist of the Stalinist school, he became a ruthless and strongly doctrinaire administrator. Very different from Khrushchev in temperament and political outlook, he opposed Khrushchev's ‘de-Stalinization’ measures, economic reforms, and foreign policy, and was instrumental in unseating him in 1964. |
