Leonid Brezhnev. The hero of jokes, the father of stagnation, the main Kremlin elder. This is how they tried to present him during perestroika. Yes, he was like that at the end of his reign. But there was also dawn and blossoming. And at the zenith of his reign, he was a very effective manager. Almost all the large enterprises and oil and gas fields that feed the country now were discovered during the era of this legendary Secretary General. In that wonderful era of the USSR, when sugar was sweeter, people were kinder, and Dear Leonid Ilyich ruled everything.
