Todor Hristov Zhivkov - (September 7, 1911?August 5, 1998) was
the Communist leader of Bulgaria from March 4, 1954 until November
10, 1989.
During World War II, Zhivkov participated in Bulgaria´s
relatively small resistance movement against the country´s
alignment with Nazi Germany. In 1943, he was involved in organising
the Chavdar partisan detachment in and around his place of birth,
becoming deputy commander of the Sofia operations area in the
summer of 1944. Under his rule, many fellow former combatants with
Chavdar were to rise to positions of prominence in Bulgarian
affairs. He is said to have coordinated partisan movements with
those of pro-Soviet army units during the 9 September 1944
Soviet-inspired coup d?etat.Some sources claim that Zhivkov´s
resistance record is exaggreated or non-existent. Isolated others
have even alleged that he was infiltrated within Communist circles
by Tsar Boris III´s secret police chief Geshev. A common graffito
under a photograph showing him triumphant on 9 September read
"Comrade Zhivkov meets the partisans and is introduced to
them."
Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev - , Leonid Il´ic Breznev) December 19,
1906 O.S. December 6, 1906 ? November 10, 1982) was General
Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (and thus
political leader of the USSR) from 1964 to 1982, serving in that
position longer than anyone other than Joseph Stalin. He was twice
Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (head of state),
from 1960 to 1964 and from 1977 to 1982.
